I was reading radbackers response on the prog thread when it struck me, I didn't know if there were any 2000ad top trump cards.
Are there such things out there?
Should there be New editions?
I love TT. Does anyone else think it'd be a worthwhile venture?
I was thinking the Nikolai Dante set would be rather awesom.
The Judge Dredd pack would be epic. So maybe;
Judge Dredd: Mega City
Judge Dredd: Cursed Earth
SDTT
Nemesis Edition (including ABCs)
ABC Warriors
Slaine
Before I continue making an ass out of myself, are there any out there?
I would buy them
There is an electronic version on Barney.
Also on the back of the early 2000AD's there was a cut out and keep version (I think).
I have a specialist set.
Heres a preview

Ahah! Good one, meanie. :D Just goes to show how much fun they are to make up! Out of interest is "willingness to pay for IPAD" stronger the higher or weaker the higher they are willing to pay?
I was going to PM you CF before posting this to check whether it was worth bring the subject up. So glad you swooped in this quick.
I remember doing some cards at the Bristol Expo and casually discussing this as a good idea.
You see you could have Dimitri and his CREST POWER against Arkady's.Then something like CHARISMA at which Dante'll win every time. His cunning only usurped by Vladimer or Arkady. You can have all the Ladies. Frag it have a SEXINESS rating for all the characters. They are so much fun.
Strontium Dogs could have a bounty rating, Stealth. RESOURCEFULNESS. WEAPONRY.
What set would you like to see being made and what suggestion do you have for any of the rankings?
Many years ago when Top Trumps first camme out and were something of a craze at shool, my gran bought me a pack. Probably at random, becuase I ended up with possibly the most boring set in existence. While all my friends had tanks or racing cars, I had 'commercial shipping' - tonnage, length etc for oil tankers and cargo ships.

Had to really.
Used to have BOTH sets of the Horror ones as a kid! Still fighting the urge to re-buy on ebay even though they are about £40 a pop now.

I had 2 or 3 packs of those cards with cars on them and that type of thing but i didnt know what you were supposed to do with them other than read them and look at the pictures.
I have the Top Trumps of... Trumps. After that a Dredd one seems a no-brainer.

Ha! Trust you PierreLycanth!
Actually so did I till I was 16Seriously though...@bluemeanie... is paying more for a IPAD stronger or weaker, as I've got Gibson here who's willing to pay 2G ...?

Although a little too like RPG stats and you might want to have some more fun with them.
Lawfulness is a given.
Sanity would seem a good one.
Hotness?
% of Scar Tissue?
Ah, the ol' Top Trumps cards. I used to love these as a lad. Most of the decks around, in my day, were to do with cars or feckin' tanks. It was only in later life that I picked up genre-based decks, such as Marvel heroes and Buffy.
Great fun, mind, regardless of the topic. :)

Simple, really. You read out a stat from the card on the top of your deck - your opponent(s) then read out the same stat on their card. Winner takes all and gets to choose the next stat. Repeat ad nauseum until only one person holds cards.
I would have a set at the drop of a hat.
I have some Star Wars and LOTR somewhere.
VNP
There was a set put up on here years ago I'm sure 'UKDane' and 'Watcher' did them IIRC...
http://www.2000ad.org/?zone=news&page=games
i always meant to update this with more modern heroes and villains - may get round to it a t some point, if Robin is up for doing any necessary and anyones interested
That's the set I mentioned. Now, what ever you do, do not play it, as you will just lose track of time and wonder where the hours have gone!

That explains it.
I thought that they were information cards.
:lol:
Yup, we could do some more.
I'd be up for the ones mentioned here.... Very cool and it'd be fun to work them out too.

God this takes me back.
I still want to know why Godzilla is wearing a bow-tie?
Heres my take on them :)

Wow, impressive!
Yeah! Nice going Gumpty.
I see your quest is the full AyDee universe.
How about collections of the separate character universes? Still have a large set of each I'd expect.
But, saying that those are indeed an impressive start. I'm humbled by how you've made it look so easy and yet so worked-out, attractive. I want that set right now.
Thanks for the comments, I tweaked the typeface for the Dante card think it reads better now.
It would be cool to have several sets much the same as the Collector Cards (some lesser thrill starved comics have ;) )

consider them a download!!!!!
bloody excellent.
to note, if i can get the dead brain cells out of the way.
the orginal set printed in the prog, was there a red space ship that if you had it basically won the game as it was unbalanced and trumped everything? or did i make that up in a fever dream?
Nope think your right there was something like that and thanks for the compliment. Still needs work on them though and its my take not ipso dethargo so to speak.
Those look bloody fantastic - I'm guessing those are just dummy stats though - it wouldn't be a very exciting game if they all had the same stats!
Classic TRUMPS character poses and yes I'm also guessing those stats are the basic idea. Come on Gumpty what do the backfaces look like?
I'm fascinated and curious as to where you grabbed the Strontium Dog type from?
Heres a set featuring characters for the big meg.
The strontium type i ermm "procurred" from a graphic novel ::)
Ive added the prog number the character fist featured this is to effect a conclusion should you end up with a stalemate on stats. Also added the Artist out of courtesy.

Hah! As RAC's sig used to say, " I think we got a reader here!"
No longer mere playing cards, more compact info-slug, TRUMP cards. Brilliant Gumpty.
How I wish I had the money to go into production. And of course, all the rights to. I guess with all the different banks I'd have pay into on sale of these little babies the profit margin would leave much to be desired.
Honestly, I like how you've shrewdly gone with Mega City Edition instead of Dredd.
