Medium Nomination Post

Medium Nomination Post

Links:
  • Tagset
  • Medium Rulesets
  • Nominating

    Nomination is how you add things to the tagset! Mediums aren't matchable via Ao3, but participants can opt into mediums other than fanfiction and then if you're someone who wishes to match on one of those mediums you'll be able to email us (ficinaboxmod@gmail.com) or contact us via a google form (to be posted later).

    This post is where you should nominate any mediums you want added to the tagset!

    If you're nominating a medium where the equivalent needs to be discussed you should only nominate if you are someone who intends to create the medium within the exchange. If it's a new length opt-in, another form of something already in the tagset, or something that fits easily into the Rulesets anyone can nominate.

    When nominating a medium, please include the following categories:

    There is an example (and by example I mean a real medium the mods are nominating) below for reference!

    Other Info

    Almost all tags from last year were imported into this year's tagset. Those excluded were because they required unique rules and weren't posted last year, with some of them being potentially out of scope of the exchange upon further reflection. The following tags were excluded (those with stars are potentially out of scope):
    • *Animatics
    • *Board Game
    • The Bookshelf Limbo' style book preview
    • *Card Game
    • *Conspiracy Board (Simpler Art/Comic Rules version left in!)
    • *fate/Stay Night (visual novel) style Heroic Spirit status screen
    • *In-Universe Social Media (Simpler Art/Comic Rules version left in)
    • In-Universe Wedding Reception Menu
    • Shopping list
    • *Tabletop Campaign
    • *Translation notes
    • *Translation notes: In-Universe translation notes
    • Typeface Design
    • Untitled Goose Style To-Do List

    All of these can be renominated by someone who intends to create them, including those which may be out of scope! Those with stars will need further discussion (either due to scope issues or due to the addition of templates and the rulesets possibly changing how they should be equated), those without can be renominated directly. If the list style mediums are renominated I have a draft of a ruleset for those.

Medium: Card Game Reskin
Ruleset(s): Unique Ruleset (includes Art (+Instructions) (+Template) elements)
Unique Rules: This medium may or may not include different rulesets.

There will be an art component, and possibly an instruction or template component in the reskinning of a card game. The amount of k this medium would be worth would be equal to the number of cards that are reskinned (plus any rewritten rules). This would make this medium flexible in terms of what the creator is willing to make. (E.g. one would not have to reskin the entire game. The creator can reskin as much or as little as they feel comfortable with).

What is it: Instead of someone making up an entirely new card game, the card game reskin takes a game that already exists and skins it to fit a fandom.

Other Info: For this medium, games that use instructions and cards would qualify. For example, Werewolf and other Social Deduction games that only use cards; or Hand Management hard games that use a base deck. The reskinner will be making as many cards as they like. That would allow games with large decks to be eligible for reskinning, since it would not be expected for the reskinner to make the full deck/game. Other games that use a card as a game board would also qualify (like Coin Age), since the board design is still card-sized and fits in the spirit of the medium.

Games like Cards Against Humanity would qualify for reskinning too, but those kinds of games would fit under the rules for Templates/Writing rather than art.


Examples of games eligible:
Werewolf (and One Night Ultimate Werewolf)
Gloom* https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/12692/gloom
Sushi Go! https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/133473/sushi-go
Fluxx* https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/258/fluxx
How to Human* https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/154085/how-human
Coin Age https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/146130/coin-age

*these cards have their rules written directly on them.

That sounds great! I like all of your additions, and I agree about the ruleset(s), since any game that would require rule re-writes would probably already be like 9 or 10k deep into the equivalents territory.
