Cards Against Adventures/Battles

Tentative titles.

With the success of Cards Against Hawkspace, I figured it would be fun to make decks for Grand Battles and forum adventures. So, here's a thread where we can discuss those things.

I've made empty decks for both, I'll link them when I add some cards. In the meantime, people can toss out ideas for what I can put in.

(Especially in adventures. For battles I can make tons of white cards just by going with contestants.)

Edit: Grand Battle deck - https://www.cardcastgame.com/browse/deck/F96GE (now featuring the cast of Season One, no black cards yet)

I'm super down for Cards Against Battles but we have so many characters?? Like I am personally familiar with most characters even if I haven't read all battles, but that's mainly because of wiki maintenance and just being in a stupid amount of battles. I can imagine if you aren't across all battles you could just end up with a hand full of people you have no idea who they are. I don't really know what you could do about this though.

In terms of things we need in there: pop tarts, accelerando slash, quantos xodapop, senator bus, the kestalvian rainforest incident, bartleby, bearded swordsmen (obviously), five million words, idk i'm out of ideas for now

I have no idea how Cards Against Adventures would work

In theory, each adventure would have a separate deck. The host of a game could then select which decks they wanted to play with.

You could also have a generic adventure deck for items or comments that are prevalent throughout interactive adventures.

I feel like you could have a deck with references to a wide variety of adventures, just by not having too many cards for any one adventure.

I can definitely see some adventures being able to support entire decks on their own, but that also would mean needing to mix whole decks for crossover shenanigans. And I'd like to have a deck that you can use more or less on its own (maybe with the "generic deck") to still do crossover shenanigans, if lighter ones, or to more easily mix adventure references with our other decks.

It's probably best if adventure-specific decks are done by either the author or a fan with author permission. It would be hard for me to maintain a generic deck and decks for Superego, Waterworks, and All-Night Laundry, among other things.

It's also struck me that on the battles side, I could split decks of contestants across seasons. Is there interest in this, or do the people who would actually play Cards Against Battles think they'll pretty much always want the whole mess of S1-3 and S! contestants in the same deck? I can go either way.
