Solid thoughts on the Driving deck. Someone already mention the "basic car" as a single card, and I had thought perhaps that opened the way for multiple basic...

Yeah, OUaT is a lot of fun. And I do like your idea -- it would be fun for the same reason fanfiction is fun -- getting to do new things with familiar...

You know, synchronicity is almost creepy. I looked up the diaries you mention, and subsequently was led to the piecepack site, which coincidentally enough was...
I've actually had an idea like this for a while, and I think I finally worked out a way that it might work in Dvorak. I actually thought up a bunch of cards...
So, is it a racing model, or a combative game? Is there only one ball in play at a time? What exactly has "Life" and what is being attacked (presumably by...

Being an unashamed rules-lawyer, I had a couple of questions about the basic Dvorak rules... What happens to a card that is 'destroyed'? Is it sent to the...

Hmm.. I'm still not clear on the marble maze concept. So, the "ball" is a Thing card, which denotes the "current player" so to speak. That player plays Track...
Well, with this talk of a maze for a possible marble maze game, and since I have been unable to work on this idea for quite some time myself, I have decided to...

Actually, I sent an attachment with that last email. It included the details that I had so far for the game. You can also see it at the online message archive...
