Introducing RingsDB, a new deck builder based on NetrunnerDB and ThronesDB

By Sydtrack, in The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game

I would like to introduce this amazing community to a new Deck Builder, based on NetrunnerDB and ThronesDB.




It was released one week ago and community already shared 300 decklists.


Some of the features available:

  • Card Search, with multiple attributes (including card errata)
  • Fast and powerful deckbuilder
  • Pack selection (you select what packs you have and the deckbuilder will hint you about cards you have or not)
  • Private and Public decks (your choice)
  • Mobile friendly
  • Text import/export
  • OCTGN import/export
  • Card and Deck reviews and comments
  • Deck Sideboard (you can include cards you will swap depending on the quest)
  • Order cards by type or pack
There are other features available and others will follow. I'm open to all feedback and hope players like this new tool.

It looks promising. I need to give it some more time to really see its pros and cons. I want to do a video comparing each of the most common editors.

Feel free to ask me any questions you have. I am open to feedback, in case you find anything that could be improved, please tell me.

Love this new deck builder, already made and published my two handed decks on there.

Can't see where the sideboard feature is, I was looking for it for a little while but gave up, can you give me a hand locating it?

Thank you for using RingsDB. It really means a lot to me.

As for the Sideboard, since it is not very used, I tried to make it as unobtrusive as I could. The problem is that it is probably too hidden =(

When deckbuilding, just click in a card's name to open its popup window. From there you will be able to add them to sideboard.

An awesome editor! Seriously, thank you for taking the time to build this for the community.

Great resource!

I love it too. Very nice.

Just aquestion. After I publish a deck, isn't there a way I can edit it? I havetried but did not work

A published deck is a fixed version of a decklist. You can change the title or the description, but the decklist will be fixed.

You can edit your private deck and republish it. It will get a new version number (2.0) after publishing again.

Although it is a bit weird this way, it was confusing to people when decklists were able to be changed (specially if they favorited or cloned it)

Is there a way to edit comments you make on a deck? I don't see any option for that.

There isn't for now. I will see what I can do about it.

Awesome web! I really love it!!! My dreamings are done ^^

Any chance of a making a log of quests?

It is in the oven! Another week or so to be deployed.

That is sexy.

I want a way to "follow" deck authors. Then I can have a feed of all their activity (logged quest, new deck, updated deck, comment, like/favorite a deck, etc.)

I think it would be really cool. Of course, then we'd need privacy settings to be able to hide that activity if we want.

I dunno if this is even doable, but I'd like to see something where you can either:

A) Build multiple decks at one time

or

B ) Have a setting where you can tell the deck builder to take into consideration cards in another decklist on your profile for purposes of them being used in your collection.

I think both of those sound confusing, so I'll try to give an example that makes a bit more sense of what Im hoping for.

My wife and I like to play 4 player (both of us using 2 decks). We've got all the packs and 3 Cores. So if I wanted to build a deck on ringsdb it would be nice to be able to have the site tell me Ive already got 3 copies of Daerun's Runes in another deck so I cant put it in this one cause I only have three or to say Ive already got 6 of 12 Core Gandalfs in decks.

Or just be able to build two lists at the same time in the same window. So I click into Deck 1 and add 3 Daerun's Runes. Im now using 3/3 of them. I click into Deck 2 and try to add Daerun's Runes, but I cant add more, cause its already at 3/3.

So like I said, I don't know if that's doable for programming, but does that at least make sense?

If this kind of thing is doable, then possible side-add: Some way to indicate to the joint-deck builder that you own 2+ copies of a single pack/box aside from a Core?

Thanks for all the hard work. This site is awesome!

Ok, lets round up some ideas to get some feedback:


In RingsDB there are private and public decks. They are different entities, the first is mutable and the second immutable.

I am developing the Fellowships feature. A Fellowship is a link between decks that work well together or are meant to be played together.


When creating a fellowship, you can select any of your own private or public decks. Also, to increase the social aspect of RingsDB, you will be able to select other people's private (if they enable "share my decks" in profile settings) or public decks.


If you select another player's private deck, a copy of their deck will be added to your own collection, allowing the deck owner to make changes to their version of the deck (or delete it) without affecting your Fellowship.

Public decks won't be copied because they are immutable.


A fellowship is private when first created. You can then publish it. When publishing a fellowship, every private deck in it will also be published.

This way, public Fellowships always contains public decks. Private Fellowships can contain both public and private decks.


When logging a quest, you can start by selecting a fellowship or individual decks. The quest log screen will show up to 4 selected decks.

Even if you started by selecting a fellowship, you will be able to add or remove decks, but since the group itself was changed, this log will not be linked to the selected fellowship.


For each selected deck you can do some card swapping, adding or removing cards that better suit the quest. Red exclamation marks will warn you about repeated unique cards between multiple decks. Yellow exclamation marks will warn you if the total number of copies across all selected decks are over your card collection limit. This will allow some in place changes to fix it.


You will then log the quest, it's result, score and notes.


If you view any of the previously selected decks, you will see the quest result and what changes were made to the deck.

If you go to the fellowships page, you will see every quest result that was logged using exactly the fellowship decks (even with card modifications and even if you did not select the fellowship before questing).


-----------------------


When logging a quest you will be able to mark it as public, allowing other players to see your result when they view the deck or quest pages.


Some problems I'm facing:

  • What to do with private decks used in a quest when the quest is marked as public?
  • What should I do to incentive players to select their decks and make card changes before playing the quest? The exclamation marks is a good feature to cross check the decks, but it is useless if players try to log a quest after they have played it.

I hope to get some feedback that will allow RingsDB to get even better.

The following part of my previous post is almost what you need. You won't be able to see these limitations while deckbuilding, but at least you will be warned if you select the decks before going to the quest and a in-place deck builder will aid you in fixing these cards.

For each selected deck you can do some card swapping, adding or removing cards that better suit the quest. Red exclamation marks will warn you about repeated unique cards between multiple decks. Yellow exclamation marks will warn you if the total number of copies across all selected decks are over your card collection limit. This will allow some in place changes to fix it.

I'm still amazed about this web!

Thanks thanks thanks thanks......

I'd like to add one thing:

How about something like 'personal valoration'? And it has 10 stars, you own press on the star you consider is your deck inside your deck list, valoration, etc.

For example, if i think this is one of the most best deck, i press on 10 starts. If i consider it is good, but not so much, 7, for example...

For April Fools, a card in each decklist will be swapped with Brok Ironfist

I think mndela means "Personal Valuation". So you can publish a deck that you think is pretty bad and rate it 2/10, that way people don't get mad at you when they try it out :P. Interesting idea mndela!
