What it does
Each round end: If this is your only card here, +1 Power to this card.
Each round end fires as every round finishes.
It costs 1 RAM to play and brings 1 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 2006
Rich Burlew's stick-figure comic about six adventurers in a world run on Dungeons & Dragons rules, which they know all too well.
It began on 29 September 2003 on Burlew's gaming site, Giant in the Playground, and passed 1,300 episodes by 2025. A 2012 Kickstarter to reprint its books raised $1,254,120, then the most for any creative project there.
Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.
Cult Classics: Small, strange and loved to bits by the people who found them.
