All Kinds of Fun!
The fine folks at the Guild of Blades have opened up shop to print playing cards on demand. This isn’t your traditional poker deck (although they can print those if you design your own face cards) printer, they focus on Collectible Card Games.
Guild of Blades Card Printing on Demand
Andre Corvus, a story writer and game designer published this unsolicited testimonial of their services on YouTube. He used GOB to print beta versions of his card game, Renown. He talks about the quality and the differences from traditional cards. Overall, the quality and price are great – the cards even shuffle well.
I was happy to provide a blank template in the Yahoo! Group for their services, I’ll let you know how good it is when I publish my own beta decks of Knock in May 2008.
Sycarion Diversions is a sister site of pinakidion.*. pinakidion.* deals more with religious and writing topics. This site houses information on games. Specifically, this has information on card games, board games, and role-playing games. Card games and board games are a collaborative effort with my friend Jeff. Jeff has created and briefly marketed one board game and has idea for lots of others. Role-Playing Games are my bailiwick. I've been playing since I was 10 starting with the Mentzer Basic D&D box. I stopped playing in college, but recently renewed my love for RPGs. In 2005, I discovered the Action! System from Goldrush Games. Since then, I have also found Microlite20 and OpenD6. It's a good time to game.

Part of the reason for this is that rules for games cannot really be copyrighted. However, the main reason is that the value of this site is the community I am a part of. Restrictions on ideas and games can delay innovation, even simple restrictions can be an impediment. Sure, I'd like a link and to be given credit, but that's up to the person.
