So I was rummaging through my old things today and I came across a blue notebook.
I immediately recognized it as my notebook from freshman year of high school (so 5 years ago) and I found some interesting card-related things.
First there are several pages (full) for my first pass at a SW/LotR Cross game. The cultures were Empire, Gangster, Jedi Knights, Rebellion, Skywalker, Scavengers, Smugglers and Vader.
I wrote out (by hand!!) every card in the 251-card set through the Rebellion culture, and many of the card titles I used then have found their way through every incarnation of this game idea.
After that, there are pages of DCs I came up with. I made these right as Battle of Helm’s Deep came out.
Here they are, unaltered in any way.
 •Saruman, Instagator of Men

Next was a petty attempt at a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles / LotR Cross game. I promptly gave up.
Some card titles:

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
We Were Awesome, Bro
Dudes And Dudettes
Major Buttkicking Is Back In Town
Major Pizza Attack
Gimme Three!
Next was a SWCCG set I was working on, called Heir to the Empire (guess what it was based on).
Towards the back, there are some random SWCCG sites I came up with.
Those sure were the days. |
Riddle 9
When I came to Abraham I let him live just a moment longer. When I came to Moses I saved his life more than once. But the salmon... I regret to say I had a hand in its death.
Who am I? |
