Chaos Card Generator
Penguin June 15th, 2007
If you are familiar with Magic: The Gathering, there is a multiplayer format called: Chaos Magic. This originally came from a d20 and a d10 roll to determine which “effect” would happen. Generally, these effects were variations on cards that exist in the Magic library.
The format got ported to Apprentice, an application where you can play Magic with other people over the internet. It ended up being kind of clunky and slow, so we didn’t play it much. When we did, it was a lot of fun.
In an effort to revive this format in my group, I compiled a list of 170 or so cards that I thought were fun or iconic. I dropped these into a script, did some fun DHTML, and thus, have the following:
Pretty straight forward. Press the “Next Card” button and it will load up a random card. After you click a few times, you will see a history start being built of all the cards that were “played”.
Currently, there’s no “clear history” functionality, aside from refreshing the page.
So the basic rules for this format are:
- Draw a chaos card at the beginning of your turn.
- You can play this card at anytime during your turn.
That’s it! Enjoy!
