Allow me to hold you attention for two minutes more: I need your opinion.

Sorry for posting two blogs in rapid succession but I want to gauge your opinions on something, perhaps this isn't the correct forum (rofum?) to be asking since this isn't an RPG forum but meh.
Ok, I have a fantastic idea, and some preliminary sketches for a game but I am hung. You see I have this fantastic world, I built up from scratch, most minor details are covered and the fluff I feel is up to grade. So all this goes into what?
A card game sort similar to Magic the Gathering but with a lot more background info?
+ More people will be interested probably
+ Larger reception
+ Could be posted on kongregate or other gaming websites
+ First idea was to create the card game with a twist
- Hard work building the world up would be wasted perhaps on a card game
- Do internet card games survive, would have to be up to scratch with games like 'elements'.
Or an RPG, perhaps P&P, no flashy graphics or anything, details are scratchy, maybe built up on a forum.
+ Will be able to focus on the fluff I created
+ Possibility to release multiple rule editions
+ Will exercise writing practice
- Almost certain to fade away after a few years
- Requires constant number of members to be fun
- Requires more than one person to run
I personally want to go down the card game route and then issue the fluff in bitesize proportions on a forum or wiki.
But what do you people think? I generally am interested in your opinions because I think the people here are down to earth and...friendly(?) even if this isn't your cup of tea/ don't give a
fuck.
Thanks for reading,
