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 3 RAM to play and brings 6 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 1999

A fan-run news site for Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings films that later covered Tolkien's books, games, fan art and The Hobbit films too.

Founded in 1999 by Michael 'Xoanon' Regina and Erica 'Tehanu' Challis, with Calisuri and Corvar. Tehanu's set reports got her escorted off the set, then invited back to meet Peter Jackson; over 1,500 fans came to its 2004 Oscar party.

In 1999: Its first year, gathering every scrap of news about Peter Jackson's coming trilogy.

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.
