So, here are two example cards with a little pop of colour!

A card describing a potential target in Prestige, with the gameplay relevant text in black and white

Here's an example of another card type!

And this is my idea for how the finished version will look like!

The same card as before, but now it looks much fancier (there’s even a fancy background).

As some of you might recall, last year I designed a card game. I used a label printer to produce the prototype, and it’s now been played and refined such that I’m working on a version that can be printed out and played by anyone. This is what one of the prototype cards looked like:

A prototype card from the game I designed. A plain white card with a thermally printed label in it. It is very plain and simple.

Ominous!

David Seymour on Aotearoa’s colonial legacy: “Māori should shut up about it.” David Seymour on the legacy of the COVID lockdowns and vaccine mandates: “Look, people need to be heard.”

ACT's David Seymour said he was open to the idea of a select committee inquiry.

"A lot of people felt they were ostracized from society and if this helps them feel seen and heard, then it might not be a bad thing."

Apparently my criticism of another conspiracy theory theorist makes me a vital part of the "Protein and Peptide" research community.

Dear Dr. M R. X. Dentith,

Who is prototyping a board game? Me!

Aside from the cheeky look the bull is giving, popping out from behind two milk bottles, one has to wonder if the bull is small or the bottles really really big!

My mother just sent me this, and I can't tell whether it's a cat or some owl-cat hybrid...

Yes, Apple, that was the word I was trying to spell…

iOS suggesting that when I was writing “announcement” what I probably was trying to write was the non-existent word “annoucemrny.”

I love this claim, which starts with “I have special skills gleaned from years of experience” but ends with “Statistically it’s quite safe to say almost all stamps are fakes!”

Text says: "I'd have great difficulty explaining it to you, it's purely experience. After 60 years of playing with these things I can tell. There are differences in the paper, the colours, the shades and so. You get a feel for it. Plus the fact that 99% are dud, so you're ahead of the game before you even start," he said.

Last night I put a lot of superglue on my fingers making these! Although I love the Starfury design from #Babylon5, I think the Colonial Viper from #BattlestarGalactica might be the best SF fighter craft design thus far
