What it does

On reveal: If played in round 5 or later, +3 Power to this card.

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

It costs 4 RAM to play and brings 6 Power to its lane. You get 1 RAM in round 1, 2 in round 2, and so on.

Games cards roll the dice. Sometimes the dice roll you.

The site, in 1996

A role-playing game website with forums and columns on tabletop games, wargames and video games.

Four founders, among them Emma and Sandy Antunes, started it in 1996 to bring together several short-lived game sites. Skotos Tech bought it in 2001, and RPGMatch in 2024.

Boom era, 1995 to 1998. Netscape, frames, hit counters and animated envelopes. Everyone had a homepage, and every homepage was under construction.

The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
