What it does
On reveal: +3 Power to a random card in your hand.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
It costs 2 RAM to play and brings 3 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 2007
An online database, wiki and forum for visual novels, the story games told in text and pictures.
By 2019 it had catalogued 24,000 visual novels and its forum had 14,300 users. Electronic Gaming Monthly said it helped bring the genre to a wider audience. Its mascot is Lasty Farson from Angelic Serenade.
Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.
The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
