What it does
Ongoing: If this is your only card here, +3 Power to this card.
Ongoing is always on while the card is in play.
It costs 4 RAM to play and brings 8 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 webcomics publisher run by Joey Manley, with a roster of about 30 professional artists, where the newest pages were free to read.
From 2002 it was among the first digital publishers to turn a profit from subscriptions, with the archives paid for. Spin-offs such as Girlamatic and Serializer.net made up the Modern Tales family. It ran until 2012.
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.
