Worm: Comments

Posted this question over on /r/colorpie to see what other people think about the characters' colour identities.

I note that /r/parahumans also provides links to one person's take on cards for a handful of Worm characters.

Should I have heard of whatever this is about before?

What can we say about Worm? It's...

  • A web fiction series. A story you read on the web (or download the huge fan-compiled ebook).
  • Long. Really long. About two million words.
  • Dark. Very dark. It starts off merely somewhat gritty in a grey-versus-grey world, and then things get rather worse.
  • A story of superheroes and supervillains. Lots and lots of them (hence cmeister's thought that there are easily enough characters to fill the number of creature cards required for an entire Magic set). Every one has a well-defined power set. Many of the superpowers are extremely innovative, which makes for interesting challenges reflecting them on Magic cards.
  • A world where the "heroes" and "villains" alike are flawed, human characters, with ideals, hopes, moral principles, quirks.

The first chapter is here.

This cardset is being created from the perspective of after the story ends, and so contains quite a lot of spoilers.

I began reading it. I was inspired to create Skitter based purely on the character's power set.

If your comments are on a small number of specific cards, they may be better added to those cards. This is for comments on the set as a whole.
