are we not all things? ([personal profile] tinkaton) wrote2023-06-10 11:42 pm

So one of my internet hobbies for a long time has been online TCGs. I've always liked collecting things (e.g. Pokemon cards when I was younger, enamel pins, etc) and online TCGs are great because they don't take up space or cost any money but they still satisfy that desire to collect and display lots of pretty things. Most of the online TCGs I've played are community-run games (go check out [community profile] colors_tcg, we're having our 13th anniversary event this month!) but in this post I wanted to share a site called NeonMob. They were going to close earlier this year, but they're now under new management and are having a user drive right now!


What is NeonMob? In their own words, NeonMob is:
☆ An online card-trading game, where the cards are all created by independent artists.
☆ Free to play, with optional paid features.
☆ Similar to old-school baseball cards, mid-2000s online pixel card collecting, and modern gacha games (though with better odds!)

Basically, like Pokemon cards, you open packs of random cards from artist-made sets and can trade with fellow players on the site to complete your collections. There's a lot of cool art and it's a lot of fun. They also don't deal with any NFT/crypto-type stuff and (since this new company took over) they don't accept AI-created series anymore, for anyone worried about that.

If anyone is interested in joining, here's my referral link! And let me know if you sign up so we can be friends. :)

Ooohhhh this is so cool! I do love the idea of a non-space-taking, basically-free hobby. Do you ever create cards?
