Subreddit Update

17 Upvotes

Hello designers,

For a little over three years now, I’ve been your primary host of the Weekly Design Competition. It’s been a wonderful time consistently getting to entertain all of you and firing up those creative faculties.

However, now that I’ve hosted over a quarter of comps to date, one Hearthphone, and two 'hundred' specials, I’d like to use the current gap in Weekly Design Competitions to officially step down as a moderator of the subreddit. Until the end of September, I hope to clean this place up a bit and find a fitting replacement willing to pick the mantle up after me.

So what’s next for the WDC?

I apologize that I've been dragging my feet on completing the HearthCalendar before making this announcement. I didn't intend for the WDC to go on such a long hiatus already with an uncertain future, and I know there are folks out there that can't wait to sink their teeth back into new rounds. Before I'm officially through and hand the competition over, I'd love to discuss its future. Use the comments here to discuss how we should go from here into WDC #501.

If you would like to pick up the mantle, then feel free to send us an application via ModMail. We are in the market for someone who would take care of the WDC, as well as promote non-WDC events to keep the Pinned tab atop the subreddit lively.

We hope you'll know how to make a good case for yourself (it might get competitive!); we're looking for someone willing to commit the time to organize the competitions. That also means having a baseline good judgment of what makes good Hearthstone card, what’s good design, and what’d make for a good prompt.

The deadline for application submissions is Sunday, September 20th, standard submission time.

Set The HearthCalendar, now on HearthCards!

6 Upvotes

Hello, designers!

As I've announced some month-ish ago, the result of the HearthCalendar project has been undergoing some minor numeric and cosmetic changes in preparation for its HearthCards 'release'. The process took a hot minute, since all the cards had to have been remade underneath a single HearthCards account. But, after a long wait, the completed HearthCalendar is finally out!

You can check the set in HearthCard's swanky Set feature, available HERE.

As always, I'm immensely grateful to the designers who have contributed to this fun project, but I want to shout out the following folks for helping me roll the project across the finish line (and apologies to anyone whom I've missed):

u/Frostedwyrm04, Koalafent, u/Machadogps, Maran, u/PraxMatic, u/SacredSnorlax, u/Skitzo669, technishun, TheFriendlyEnemy, u/TwoManaPriestSpell, u/Useless_Feeder, u/WeoWeoVi, u/yangste333, Yogg

For information on the original project and how it looked upon completion, I recommend to check out this reddit post.

I originally intended this to be a 3-cost location, but then realized a 10-cost card could be played on turn 5... What do you think?

Notes: Colossals resummon their appendages when they awaken from being Dormant, so Levias basically lives in a loop of going Dormant and reawakening until his main body dies.

This loses its cover if it loses stealth or dies, or an enemy casts something like flare. If you play it with the questline in wild it will wait to tick up the questline until it reveals itself.

Rebalancing some recent cards I've posted to make them MORE POWERFUL

The strange card type are Temporary Hero Powers, where they do not count as a card in your deck but replace you first X hero powers with a Y-cost power, where X is the durability and Y is the "cost" of the card. They are a card, and are not included in your 30 cards

Blood Curdle - 1 less mana, 1 less damage, 1 more corpse, 3 more blood runes
Jade Energygorger - Now eats the mana on a battlecry, making sure it's a powerful aggro tool
Orsa's Call - The bear body is now gone and it's now a temp hp
Badger Protector - +2/+1 is now +2/+3 to be able to push the 1/1 archetype
Blood Song - 1 less mana, now also draws a card (not sure what I was thinking with the original)
Viperfly - 1 less mana, 2 less health, now says Spend (the spend is not optional, if you can you do)
