Thanks!

Trying to decide on the frequency with which to post them. I was thinking the middle of the week, because I don't want to interfere with postings on this site. I'm open to suggestions.

Site updates

I'll be announcing this formally next week, but the site postings are moving to a three a week schedule: Mon, Wed, Fri; so as long as you don't hit those days, we should be good.

question

Who is your audience for these? If for "us", that's one thing. But if you're also hoping to attract folks who don't know much about Untold, you have some jargon to clarify, like "swapping" and "swap buffer".

Overall, I do like your blog.

The Untold Community

It is pretty much for the Untold community, since they are the only ones who might read it. In the first blog, I link the primer if they don't know how all the cards or rules.

Nice blog and nice build! :)

OK - let me know if you need any help. It's probably the color of your "visited" links. ;)

That should work...

Take a look now, and see if that works. I'm not very tech savvy for being someone from my generation...

Great job

Great job with the post and the builds, Ben! I think I know the first one, but I'm not sure with the second one! I love the Lovecraft-inspired builds, however!!! :D

Thanks...

Like I said, one's a dead give away, but other you have to get a little creative on...I guess you'd have to be a big Lovecraft fan, PLUS own Hostile Hands to figure it out...

What about?

What about a peek into the world of a fan-turned-developer? What is it like to be "taken into" your favorite RPG and "given the reins", so to speak?
