Meet the Team

The passionate people behind Local Legends TCG, creating a game that brings communities together.

Our Story

It started with a simple question: What if trading cards could teach kids about the real heroes in their community?

As parents, we spent countless game nights playing Pokémon and other card games with our kids. The games were fun, but we wondered: why can't our children learn about real people who shaped our neighbourhoods, our province, our country?

"I wanted my son to know the stories of people from our community: the teachers, the volunteers, the leaders, the artists. Playing cards with faces he might actually recognise would strengthen his connection to where we live."

That's how Local Legends was born. A trading card game that celebrates real Canadian heroes, from local community figures to national icons. Every card tells a story. Every game is a chance to learn.

Based in British Columbia, Canada, we're building more than just a card game. We're building a way for families to connect with their communities, one card at a time.

Our Soul Statement: We are pulled to honour community figures while they are still among us. We want to change the flow and honour all that have had a positive impact on our communities, both past and present.

Our Approach to AI

We believe in transparency about how we create.

Local Legends TCG was developed with AI as a creative collaborator. We used AI tools to help explore ideas, design game mechanics, generate prototype artwork, and accelerate our development process. This human-AI partnership allowed us to bring this game from concept to playable prototype faster than we ever could have alone.

What AI Helped Us With

  • Card artwork and written content: Both the visuals and the text on each card were generated through a hands-on collaboration with AI. We carefully designed prompts, defined parameters, and refined every detail to match our vision.
  • Game design exploration: Brainstorming mechanics, balancing gameplay, and iterating on rules
  • Development support: Building our website, creating documentation, and streamlining production

Our Commitment Going Forward

We're deeply grateful for what AI made possible, and we're also thoughtful about its role in creative work.

For our Kickstarter campaign, we're committed to collaborating with local artists to create the final card artwork. Different funding tiers will help us budget for professional, human-created illustrations that bring our Canadian Legends to life with authentic artistry.

We see AI as a powerful tool for prototyping and exploration, but we also value the irreplaceable touch of human creativity, especially when honouring real people and community figures.

Why This Matters

The Legends on our cards honour real people and the spirit of Canadian communities. We want to celebrate them with artwork that reflects genuine human craft and connection.

Thank You

Thank you for understanding and supporting our journey. We're building something special, and we're excited for the next phase: one filled with local artistry.
