More Student Wars v2 CCG

You can download the cards here.

Worked some more on Alliances today. Yearbook got a couple interesting cards that let you basically treat the top card of your discard pile as in-play (attacking it, spotting it, whatever). All the keyword-based sub-factions got a helpful Persist Event that will make building decks based around them easier. Also dealt another blow against attackers with new “characters may not be damaged” powers and cards.

Did some general cleaning up so that cards are slightly less cluttered… mainly eliminated the across-the-board sub-faction abilities and stuck them on one character each instead. Still looking for ways to clean up cards further. Using symbols for some common terms and actions isn’t out of the question, but I have to be sure to not overdo it like my last attempt.

Also generally did some strengthening of GPA. I’m not sure if it’s enough.

If anyone has time and would like to playtest, I would be eternally grateful. The game needs a lot of testing and balancing (the Humanities faction, in particular).

McCain WTF

I have no idea what to even say to this

Cindy McCain lashed out at Barack Obama Tuesday [saying] the Illinois senator has waged the “dirtiest campaign in American history.”

It’s frightening if she actually believes that.

Edit: Just to make clear… I don’t believe Obama’s campaign is clean, I just believe that McCain has run a far, far dirtier campaign (and this is yet another example of it). Obama’s campaign didn’t throw me into an introverted depression for 3 days, thankyouverymuch.

Edit edit: The fact checks are telling. On the first page, all of the McCain criticisms that I saw were either True or True (but incomplete), compared to all of the Obama criticisms which were either Misleading or False. Seriously, who’s running the dirtier campaign?
