What it does
Ongoing: If this is your only card here, +4 Power to this card.
Ongoing is always on while the card is in play.
It costs 3 RAM to play and brings 5 Power to its lane. You get 1 RAM in round 1, 2 in round 2, and so on.
Creators cards are strongest on their own, and some only get going late.
The site, in 2002
A free webcomic hosting community where amateur and independent artists posted their comics, talked in forums and joined group events.
Dylan Squires founded it in 2002, naming it after a friend's drawing of his late pet duck. It survived losing all its data in a 2005 server crash, was bought by Platinum Studios in 2006 and began passing to its community in 2015.
In 2002: Founded this year as a free home for amateur comics; by 2003 artists were arriving from Keenspace, which had bandwidth limits.
Dot-com era, 1999 to 2002. Glossy buttons, big money and a bug called Y2K. Some of these companies were worth billions for about a fortnight.
The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
