Welcome to zockergilde.net
Hello from Germany! I am Fhizban and this website is the centrepoint of my hobbyist boardgame creation activity. I plan this site to be a developer diary for upcoming game concepts, board- and cardgames. All zockergilde.net projects are concipied as uncommercial and partly open-source games.
A word from the author
“The concept of zockergilde.net is absolutely contrary to the money making aspect of all boardgames and card games currently on the market. Theese free game are rather meant to be expanding concepts based around a core of fundamental mechanics. True to the spirit of both boardgames and cardgames alike, all zockergilde.net projects utilize the power of the internet to add one more component to the development team: The player himself.”
- Tobias Strunz (alias Fhizban)
OGC – “Open Game Concept”
Most zockergilde.net projects are free and open-source, wich means that players and authors alike will be able – and are encouraged to – expand and evolve a project by creating new factions, cards, rules and even card types or victory conditions. Expanding a game can be done either way: by simply brainstorming and inventing new stuff, posting it on your website and publishing it in forums. But also by building cards and components according to a “Creation Codex”, a system using point allocation similar to the character creation in roleplaying games. After creating cards you can submit them to zockergilde.net and after a review and playtesting through a group of trusted judges, your content is added to the official game database. Please note that only cards created using the official “Creation Codex” can be submitted and accepted as “Official Cards”. While any card or component created without the codex and without review from the author of the game is considered to be playable but “Unofficial”. Only official cards will be integrated into the zockergilde.net card database, and get their own templated design. Last but not least – only cards considered to be official are “tournament legal”.
