Nuklear Power : The Collectable Card Game?

Ok, listen up...

We had a Wiki,
We had a Ragnarok Online server
We had a (albeit brief) WoW Server...
We had fanfiction
We have steam nights
We have streaming seasions
And we have all that stuff that goes on the Gaming sub forum... y'mafia freaks...

...is having our own CCG really that much of a stretch?

While poking around about Magic the Gathering Online, Menarker pointed me towards this "game system" called LackeyCCG.

It's supposed to let you play Any Card game, online, with up to 10 people for free... it's all Plugin based, so, if somebody makes a Plugin of a game, you can play it.

But one little thing that caught my eye is that you can MAKE you own card games using the exact same system. Which is actually pretty cool. So, really... why not?

The official site has a official faq about making plugins and it all seems pretty straight forward, it actually does not look complex at all. And it works on Linux, Mac and Windows.

And have i mentioned that it is all free? ANd you can play with up to 10 people at the same time?

Actually the engine itself is open ended enough to allow you to make other games aside from cardgames, tabletop or miniature games for example... you just need to learn the language and rules of the engine and build around those guidelines... should require some work, but nothing overly amazing.

And here is the thing... we actually have some quite savvy artists in this forum, and another handful of people who wouldn't bother to poorly use gimp and Ms Paint to make ridiculously bad drawings and illustrations... hell you can even create sound effects for each card.

So, here is my pitch... for you game designers and artists in this here forum, anybody wants to create a NPF-based cardgame to play around for fun? Keeping it free and "in house" maybe we could even ask to use some of the in-house properties for a few cards?

...Draw Warbot: Sacrifice all creatures on the field, Warbot remains misunderstood?

To actually do this though, we need some structure... like, people actually willing to code the pluging, people willing to allow their art to be used for it, or to make new art, people to discuss the actual structure of the game, and of course, people who want to opt out of it...

So, here is the pitch and here is the link!
