The problem with Operation games
4 years ago
General
As some of you may know, I am obsessed with the game Operation. It didn't used to be that way. Until recently, I avoided the game due to the noise. Thanks to the addition of the PAW Patrol the movie version, I can't get enough of it! However, there is one flaw in the game-- It's too dang easy! Sure, Operation consists of pieces that must be extracted from cavities in the board, but after a bit of practice, it just seems too easy. The game used to contain cards and money, but Hasbro removed them! Those sons of guns! In the case of the PAW Patrol version, there are no cards, no money, and, surprisingly, no pictures of the pieces! (How rude!) Thankfully, I also edit board games, especially Operation, so I am currently developing stickers for the PAW Patrol Operation game! Once I finish developing them, I will post the file and instructions on FA and DA! (yes, I will write instructions for where to attach the stickers on the game board.) Currently, I am making the "101 Dalmatian Street: Rebirth" version of the classic game; don't worry, I will add cards, money, pictures, labels, and an actual bank! The game is an adaption of my fan-fiction series, 101 Dalmatian Street Rebirth, and includes Dolly and Cruella Dalmatian (Not De Vil, but good guess) as patients! There will be twenty unique pieces in total! (This will be explained further in depth in a later journal) Another problem with Operation games in general is that, even when they came with cards, there was no compartment to put them in! The same goes for the money! Ugh! Sure, there was the storage tray, but really?! No bank vault? What the heck, Hasbro? And even when Hasbro brought back the cards and money in the 2015 50th anniversary edition, they were cheap enough to put the money on top of the cards! That meant no specialist cards or paper money! And the holes are a little bit too big. They ought to match the outlines of at least some of the pieces to their respective cavities!
Anyway, I will be accepting almost all requests for Operation game covers, with a few exceptions:
No inappropriate content (That includes gore and porn; reasons will be discussed in the comments; just ask!);
No "realistic" Operation-- A bit too real. That, and the game's supposed to be cartoonish and funny, not real-life. (No offense intended.)
No existing IRL Operation games-- Due to copyrights and boring law stuff (again, no offense intended), I will not be accepting exact replications of Operation games that exist in the real world, nor will I accept redrawing someone else's Operation for the same reason. That, and it also suggests a lack of originality.
However, remakes of Operation are allowed. An example would be operating on PAW Patrol's Chase. I will also allow Vore-based Operation, just cause I am a huge fan of Vore comics. :)
Also, please, no actual real-life body parts; the conditions are that the pieces (ailments) must be either based on real ailments or be entirely fictitious (such as my Paint Splat). I'm an artist, not a surgeon. <insert ick emoji here>
The limit of pieces is currently thirty. Speaking of which, I am planning on drawing 3 PAW Patrol the movie-inspired background surgery pictures, each with different characters and a different vehicle, and a Blue's Clues and You! version. (I will hold a contest in a later journal as to what pieces will be included.)
Ciao for now, and as Dolly says, "Bow-Whack-a-Wow!"

Update: Please make all pieces original or present them originally. Either way is fine.
