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 4 RAM to play and brings 7 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 1997
Dave Winer's weblog of links, short notes and software news, published with his company UserLand's tools and still updated today.
Launched in February 1997, it is counted among the web's oldest blogs. In December 1997 Winer gave it an XML feed, an early step toward RSS, and it inspired Jorn Barger's Robot Wisdom Weblog, which coined the word weblog.
In 1997: Started in February, published with UserLand Frontier's NewsPage Suite; in December it gained one of the web's first XML syndication feeds.
Boom era, 1995 to 1998. Netscape, frames, hit counters and animated envelopes. Everyone had a homepage, and every homepage was under construction.
Cult Classics: Small, strange and loved to bits by the people who found them.
Pixel tribute by dub3, after the 1997 page.
In the game, this pixel page loads the way it did in 1997, then plays a short scene. Want Scripting News in your deck? Make a free account and open some packs, or try a match first. No sign-up needed for that.
