Collectible Card Game Headquarters

Edit2: I've just learned through the discord that there are MANY custom sets completed and available, it just isn't advertised anywhere you would guess to look. Right at this link:
https://github.com/FLAREdirector-mse/MS ... aster/MSEM
Github is very confusing to most, let me know if you can't figure it out. Don't be scared to seek out the Forge discord either, the folks there are very helpful if you are patient.
You will need to do some things to get those sets working in Forge as well. Ask me if you need to know and I will post an explanation.

Edit: This thread has over 500 views. I am still hard at work on this folks. Don't be scared to say hi. It's hard work and a little encouragement would be helpful. I hope somebody is inspired to do this on another set. Planesculptors.net is a cool place.

I have been fantasizing about coding and playing the Netropolis custom set by Zarepath in forge for years. I don't think I ever will honestly.

But it got me wondering if other sets have already been done by people more dedicated or less busy than I.

Does anyone have any finished and ready to go custom sets or custom set cubes they would be willing to share? Maybe this post could be a good place to collate what is available.

Seeing plenty of views, I think the interest is there. I began looking into putting Netropolis together last night. I am going to do it but don't expect anything for a long time. I'm a stay-at-home dad to two young kids, I don't have a lot of time.

Ok, hit my first snag. I've created this creature successfully, it makes the equipment which I have also coded correctly, I tested. Now how do I get it to attach to that creature? Turns out magic has never actually created a equipment token which automatically attaches immediately in the same action. Usually the equipment creates the creature a la Living Weapon, not the other way around.

Got it working! Estrid the planeswalker helped me get there.

I'm still working on this, I'm just getting my help from the discord since I got no responses here.

I see views coming in; if this interests you, spend some time on planesculptors.net. There are many amazing sets there that just need some ambitious lad to start scripting and not stop until it's done. I'm aiming for one card a day, but I'm moving faster than that most days. Most cards are easy, it's new mechanics that are hard.

My next task is to tackle the upload mechanic. It's tricky, you exile a card, usually from the top of the library, and it can be returned to hand for 2 Mana. That card is "uploaded".

I scripted the Superiority mechanic. I got lucky, this mechanic already exists in magic, just without a keyword. See survival cache.

With the help of Medusa on Discord upload has been scripted. This was the most difficult mechanic, it should be mostly smooth sailing from here.

34 cards done.

61 cards done. I'm a busy man but also an impatient man. I can't wait to draft this set.

Getting close to finishing all the commons in the set. I'm excited! Still a while to go though.

96 cards done.

All commons are done. Some of them are proving difficult to script, even with assistance on discord. It's about 6 or so that aren't working quite right. Looking forward to the uncommons!

116 cards done.

130 done.

149 done, with a small list of cards that aren't quite right yet.
