PPC Card Game: Fifth Generation by

[Dramatic, stirring, rising chords]
... da dum, da-da dum da duuuuum!
Yes, it's that time again, and it's only been two and a half years since the last That Time. The Fifth Generation of the PPC Card Game is on the way, and I need your cards.
This is an Agents-Only release, so basically, if you have a PPC Agent who hasn't appeared on a card before - whether they have appeared in a story or not - bring them along, and I will make them. If you're not sure if they've appeared on a card (eg if you've inherited them, or if they're a general-use character), check the lists linked from each Generation on this page.
Note: If your agent is not in an action department and would not be out fighting badfic, or if you know of any non-badfic-related Enemies of the PPC (like the Black Cats were), please see another note at the end of the next section. It will make things far easier for you.
The Information I Need - you can't have your card without giving all of it.
Name, Department, Fandom, Species, Years of Service, Lust Object - all pretty self-explanatory. The six fandoms we have so far are LotR, Harry Potter, SciFi, Anime, Discworld and Narnia. It really helps if you fit in one of those, but if not, don't worry - you can put them down for anything, they'll just buck the trend. Years of Service (eg, 2001-2004, or 2007-present) are for that Department - so yes, you can have multiple versions if they transferred. Try to give different pictures, though. Every Agent needs a Lust Object, who should be from their fandom - and yes, only one.
Picture - Need this. People always seem to miss it out. Doll-maker images are okay, as are photographs, drawings, modified photos - most things. I'm willing to make simple changes (such as 'He looks like this picture of Legolas, but with blue hair), but not complicated ones ('This picture of Boromir, with the wings of a balrog and cybernetic implants on his arms and legs!'). You, of course, can make all the changes you please.
Weapon - for the most part, these will be downgraded - if you tell me he uses a MK-43 RXJ rocket-propelled grenade launcher with optional sniper sight... well, that'll probably get in, but if it wasn't a grenade launcher it'd be downgraded to A Gun. They're all the same in the Rules anyway.
Stats - as seen on Eledhwen's card above. The six stats should add up to 15, and the first five are pretty self-explanatory. Special is the dump stat - it takes any points you have left over. Each stat can go from 0 to 5, and should reflect your Agent, not what you think would make the best card ever.
Special Ability - This is where your imagination gets to run wild. Take a scroll through the previous generations - we've got shape-shifters, crazy people, calls for help... lots. I need a name and a description - but bear in mind they have to do something useful under the rules of the game. If you tell me his power is to change people's hair colour, that'll probably turn into 'disguises Canons so Sues cannot ensnare them'.
... that would be a really useful power, actually...
Also bear even more in mind that space is limited. Details will get snipped out to fit those three lines - Eledhwen's is actually a bit longer than I'd like.
Rarity is worked out by me according to Maths, and for this Generation we have a special treat in store! Every 11th card (yes, I know, but Maths says so) will also be available in a special shiny edition - as previously seen only in the Crashing Down Theme Deck. So if your card is #1, #12, #23 etc, look out for that.
Note: The Third Generation introduced PPC HQ as a playable world, and with that came canon characters and enemies. If you have someone who would work best as one of those two, feel free to give me them - just make sure to give the right information for their card type (and note that Flowers aren't available as PPC Canons - they show up as Monsters, and are not part of the Fifth Generation. Nor are we taking Mary-Sues this time - unless they fall better into the category of Enemy, so check the Rules and be very sure).
May Be Asked Questions
What's this all for? - Fun. :P The cards aren't available in shops, obviously, so there's no actual collection taking place, but it's fun to make them, and I hope it's fun to see your agent memorialised in card form!
I don't have Permission/any missions... - Not having any missions isn't a problem. Permission... oh, all right, then. Agents from people without Permission will be made - but try not to go overboard.
How many Agents can I post? - I'm going to regret this, no doubt, but: as many as you like. I will make them all - it may take a while (there are, uh, four agents from Gen4 who I've only made in time for Gen5, including of all people Paddlebrains), but I will make them all.
Can I play this? - Please do! It's been played, um, twice - no, three times - before, with earlier (ie, unplayable) versions of the rules, but I really think the current version should work - and maybe even be fun to play, with a little imagination. If you do decide to play, please take pictures and report on the game - or just review it, I suppose - because I'm slightly desperate for actual informed feedback. (The Gen4 rules have remained substantially unchanged for Gen5. They will be edited to add any new weapon images needed - and to add little things like the size of hand and deck, and maybe even order of play)
What's coming in Generation 6? - I'm glad you asked me that! I'll be aiming to enhance the playability of the Harry Potter and SciFi fandoms, as well as adding a full range of Crossover and Portal cards to allow access between fandoms. I'll also be developing Sue cards into a more generalised Badfic card type - so look out for Slashwraiths and Trolls, and maybe even Plotholes.
I really hope I've covered everything, but if you have more questions - just ask.

I hope I'm allowed to nitpick on the card choice.
1. I think that the card types should be rather evenly distributed.
2. Can you actually get gold cards in that? If yes, are they in place of a rare or its usual equivalent?
4. I don't think that there should be duplicates. I think I once ended up with three copies of one location. If that had happened at a card shop, I would have probably thrown the pack onto the counter dramatically. ;) -

1/ There aren't even numbers of each card, so that would make some things - eg, Mary-Sues - unreasonably common. For instance, in Gen5 there are, er, 2 Sues, and over 40 Agents. Gen3 has only 3 Agents. Etcetera.
2/ The Gen3 gold cards aren't available, since they're /only/ in the Theme Pack (special, see?). The Gen2 golds are available in place of the rare card. The Gen5 golds will also be in place of rares.
97/ I agree, and I can probably make it not happen, with a bit of work. Part of the problem may be that the random number generator is based on the system clock - and it can quite possibly take all the readings in the same time-unit.

A Location has an image (obviously), name, fandom, and type - the types are all listed on the rules. It can also have an attached monster, but doesn't have to.
A Monster should be something that can hurt you, without being a likely Lust Object. Balrogs, Goblins, Smelly Men, Drunken Activists, etc etc. They have a name and picture, species, and Attack, Defence and Health. There's no required total for the stats - except that they can't go above 6, and a 6-6-6 monster is a real rarity (thus far there are two). They also have a fandom (obviously), and state their Location.
To be classed as fully playable, a fandom needs ten Monsters, which means at least ten Locations (but likely more). It also needs ten Canons and Agents - VG currently has 4 and 6.
(Oh, and if you're really bored - a Crossover needs a picture from each fandom, able to be recognised when sliced in half. ;))

I really need to come up with a decent set of icons for location types... I'm still using an Elven tower for 'City', it's massively outdated.
Thank you very much for making monsters! However, I run into a slight problem - while I've decided not to list monsters on locations, I still need to give locations on monsters! And while I can recognise the Mario ones (I may have to come up with some Mario locations for them to live in, otherwise Peach's castle will be packed, the others are way outside my ken. So, er... help? Where do they live?

Some of the monsters I gave actually can't have a location ascribed to them yet because I didn't set up some cards for them. For that, I'll need to come up with a few more location cards, so I'll get to them in a second. For the ones that can be located...
-Goomba, Koopa, Paratroopa can all fit in Mario locations like Princess Peach's Castle, as you mentioned.
-Slashers can be placed on either the Ishimura or Titan Station.
-Cerberus Troopers can be placed on the Citadel.
-Reaper Husks can be placed on the Collector Base.
For the rest, I should probably throw a few other ones in. So here, have some more locations:
Tuchanka - VG -

-Thresher Maws can be placed on Tuchanka.
Denerim - VG - City

The Deep Roads - VG - Cave

You can place Hurlocks and Ogres on either Denerim or The Deep Roads.
Green Hill Zone - VG - Hill

You can place Motobugs in the Green Hill Zone.
And ah, what the heck? I'll throw in some more Mario locations for you to go wild with.
World 1-1 - VG - Plain
Image:
Rainbow Cruise - VG - Spaceship

For ease, Goombas and Koopa Troopas can go in Princess Peach's Castle or World 1-1. Paratroopas can go onto any of these places.

And the answer varies by generation:
In Gen2 I made five gold cards on whim.
In Gen3 the leaders of three factions in the Crashing Down pack got gold cards.
In Gen5, every 11th card I make also gets a gold card. This may not be obvious from where they come on the Board, since I'm also making canons that I'm not posting here, but it is every 11th. My order of card creation is usually:
-Whatever Board-listed cards I'm making this block.
-Any canons associated with those.
This is variable if it'll cause a card not posted on-Board to get the gold, but for the most part, it works. So yeah - it's random. Can't have favouritism, even when I'd like to. ;)

Card Type: Agent
Name: Doc
Department: Floaters
Fandom: Les Misérables
Species: Human
Years of Service: 2011-
Lust Object: Enjolras
Picture: (Sorry it's so big!)
Weapon: metal pole (the far right Mace image on the rules page will work fine.)
Stats:
*Attack: 1
*Defence: 3
*Speed: 2
*Stealth: 3
*Insanity: 3
*Special: 3
Special Ability-Research: Move Doc to another location of any fandom.
(Sorry about the uncommon fandom; Doc is sort of a generalist. I went with a fandom that's already appeared on an older card, so it's at least a little interactive with the rest of the game. Here's a picture of Enjolras:)
Card Type: Canon
Name: Miss MacKinnon
Fandom: PPC
Gender: Female
Species: Human
Speed: 1
And her picture:
If I measured properly, that should fit within the Canon card frame fairly well.
And, since you asked for feedback on the game . . . I had printed out decks of Gen One cards and played four or five games with my brother several months ago. We found that the Sue deck was (perhaps appropriately) massively overpowered, and whoever played with it was guaranteed to win. This was due to one Sue card in particular, Kawaii Baka.
With a huge Special stat, Kawaii was pretty much guaranteed to beat any Comparison to activate her special, and she usually didn't have to, since her Speed is high enough to keep the opponent's cards out of her location. (Or another Sue with even higher Speed could be moved there to help guard her.) The trouble is, her ability feeds into itself so the opponent never gets a chance to take action to stop her. We implemented a house rule that Kawaii's Special couldn't be activated during the bonus turns she herself created, but even then, Kawaii's player had a 2:1 turn advantage over his opponent, which is pretty massive. We finally changed the house rule to, "Kawaii's Special can be activated once per game," which made the decks more balanced, but by then, we were kind of burned out from playing, and haven't really had a chance to touch it again since.
So . . . I guess I ended up reviewing just the one card, which wasn't my intention starting out. :(
Unfortunately, that one card had a disproportionately large effect on our gameplay. -

(Will get to your cards when I get to them, but this is for the review)
That... is a somewhat overpowered ability. Let's see if I can fix it up.
-Movement: The rules appear to be badly-written on this (and many other) point. I think what I meant was that if Kawaii and Agent Acacia are at the same location, and Acacia wants to leave, Kawaii can try to block her (probably successfully). If Acacia wants to move in, it's up to someone at her current Location to block - Kawaii can't do a thing. She could block against a Reinforcement from an Enemy, but again, that would require someone to already be there.
-Ability wording: I'm assuming that you read this as 'Take two more actions', rather than the literal interpretation of 'After using this ability, do one more thing', which would make it nothing more than a stalling tactic. :P So... hmm.
What about if it said 'Minuet - Through the power of bad spelling, stretch time and take two non-special actions next turn.' That would still have that 2:1 advantage, but Kawaii's ATK and DEF are pretty low - with the dice it's always random, but she could go down in one hit from something sufficiently powerful (the Balrog, say - and with the new Narav card, you can try to summon It there), and anything sufficiently strong could well block all her attacks.
Unless she's on a Hill. Kawaii Baka on a Hill is a dangerous prospect - but that's why she's a Rare card, neh?
(I'm curious - with the Sues in general, are they overpowered because of their abilities, or because of their ruleset? Because, ooh, I can see massive problems with that Ensnare bonus - wow, even Kawaii could hit 7 ATK with three canons and a Hill. Maybe the bonuses should be to Defence instead - gives you more staying power rather than making you overpowered)

Ah, I see where I misinterpreted the Movement-blocking rules. That would loosen up gameplay immensely.
I'm not quite sure what you're saying in the ability wording paragraph. I read the line "take two turns" to mean the player gets two additional turns after the one in which this Special is performed, which opened that player up to the chance to use Kawaii's Special again in that following turn. I take it that it's meant to give two additional Actions within the same turn that Minuet is used? Perhaps Kawaii-only Actions?
I think the best way to change the wording is to replace "turns" with "actions," since that's what you intended to convey. And maybe specify whether the extra actions are for Kawaii only, or for her player in general.
The Sues did tend to gain in power pretty quickly, but the agents actually tended to catch up soon enough. Many of the agents (at least, in the subset I printed) have either attack-boosting or defence-hindering Specials, and the Stealth bonus helps too. Snap was also useful for thinning the Monster cards out of the opponents' ranks, which is something the Sue deck had to do directly through combat, which helped keep the agents not critically overwhelmed.
I think, with this better understanding of the rules, I need to try a few more games again and see what happens. (If I can tear my brother away from video games long enough. Maybe Mom will play with me?) I'll get back to you after.
One thing we were confused about was deck contents. I just noticed that the Ensare rules call for targeting an enemy canon, but I had built the agent deck with no canons, and put canon cards only in the Sue deck for them to Ensare. (Yes, it's a reading comprehension failure on my part. I guess my Magic: the Gathering sensibilities didn't allow for adding a card to a deck whose only purpose was to strengthen the enemy?) I know you're busy enough with making card images right now, since I don't expect definitive deck rules right away. Just something to think about. :)

Bear in mind that the rules when Generation One was made were... quite different. The Special stat actually determined the reload time of the ability - it was stupidly complicated, and one of the main reasons Generation Zero is described as unplayable.
Additionally, Gen4 seems to have lost the Lust Object bonus (or at least I can't find it any more). It used to be that your agent's Insanity would give an Attack bonus if their Lust Object was present, which of course means you would bring the Lust Objects for all your agents along... but without that factor, yeah, it really should be /any/ Canon to Ensnare.
-- oh, wow, I'd forgotten how bad Gen0 was. If you're interested, my original idea of how a TCG should work is here.

The word 'compare' is defined at the top right of the rules - it involves dice. A Special of 0 can beat even one of 5, if you roll a 6 and your opponent rolls 1.

Well, Nanoha-verse magic is usually used with an Intelligent Device, but I don't think you could find one that would best represent it...
Oh! How about a magic circle? Or triangle, since Ari uses Belkan magic.
Her magic color is red, which is good, since black wouldn't show up well on the cards. And I think I'll be making some cards for Nanoha and Madoka, but I'll try to not go overboard with them. -

Capital 'h' and 'd' are extremely tall in that font, so they stick out the top; therefore, any names beginning with h or d get lowercase'd. At one point I think I bolded them or upsized them to try and make up for it, but not any more.

(I'm not having an unkillable behemoth around. If you can't find a Mary-Sue with the ability to kill Walpurgis Nacht, I'd be very surprised.)
And since the idea of those six in one location fills me with abject terror...
So now I know far more than I ever wanted to about this fandom.

The reason why Homura had to go thorugh several timelines isn't that Walpurgisnacht didn't die, is that Madoka died every time during that battle.
And we don't need a Mary Sue to bring her down. The fanfiction I am writing has that as a plot point.
Granted, I'm going to make Homura steal equipment from Army, Navy and Air Force, and there's Nanoha with a Movie-like Starlight Breaker, but still... -

Nah, the arm-blade is essentially a sword mounted on her wrist. That she can retract into her arm. And then still move her wrist and elbow.

OK then, here we go...
Name: Dr Kindheart
Department: Medical
Fandom: My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic
Species: Unicorn
Years of Service: Frig, I don't know. 2005-present, I guess
Lust Object: Shining Armor
Weapons: My Little Pony Magic*
Stats
Attack: 2
Defense: 4
Speed: 4
Stealth: 3
Insanity:0
Special:2
Special Ability: Rant. Dr Kindheart gives a long-winded lecture about pony biology, and her opponent is so surprised by this that they become disbalanced, and lose one point off all their stats.
* Um, so I guess MLP Magic would be along the lines of telekinesis, magical blast, and one or two spells related to their Special Talent. In Kindheart's case, that's probably a healing spell. It could be represented on the card as a unicorn's horn.
OK, is that all right? -

... the cards go on your Desk. The tokens represent them on the playing field. Basically, since you're tucking things under the cards and putting health tokens alongside them, it seemed sensible not to also be moving them around the table too much.
As to the factions - not especially. They're for custom rules (such as in the Crashing Down pack, it's possible for Factory Enemies to attack Black Cats).
Oh, and since I didn't end up saying it - any feedback on making the rules make sense would be appreciated. I'm hoping to keep it all fitting on two sides of paper, though... gulp.

... depending on what shows up in later versions, I may make a 'Fantasy' fandom and merge Narnia with it. Then she can be grandfathered in and edited, like someone from Gen1 who was 'Star Ocean' has been turned into VG just lately.
But no. My sanity would not allow a mass conversion at this point. And I don't know there's that many hardcopy-games with fandoms at all...
(If you want, I can switch her to 'M:TG' fandom, like how we've got a couple of standalone Les Mis-ers)
