Ani-Mayhem

I've always been a fan of Collectible Card Games. I see so much potential in them. It saddens me that the market for them is pretty much dead these days. Yugioh and Pokemon seem to be surviving and there are a few other titles that still exist. But back during the mid-nineties the selection was far greater. Every franchise had to have a CCG.

My favorite game from back in the day was Ani-Mayhem. A novel little concept were anime characters from different shows would cross paths and battle for items. The idea was fun, the execution was pretty horrible. I don't think I ever played a game by the correct rules and not for a lack of trying. Still the game holds a special place in my heart.

Recently I discovered a little program called the Magic Set Editor. This is a great little program for creating custom Magic cards. The great thing is they actually have templates for lots of other card games too. Including my personal favorite, Ani-Mayhem. Thanks MSE! So I've started working on a custom set (or three) of cards and I thought I would share some of those here. I might get around to talking about video games again but that will depend on how much time I have.

My first set is based off of four Miyazaki movies. Some people may not like or appreciate that but I can live with it. The four movies are Nausicaa, Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke, and Howl's Moving Castle. Here are some sneak peaks:
