    Have not forgotten about two other projects:

Color Coded Spells for my Black Hack clone
Posts about subsystems using cards, tokens, etc.

As for the former, I sent Kevin Chenevert the finished spells I have to this point. I need to do a proper OGL before publishing more.

As to the subsystems, I discovered that it will be much easier to demonstrate than to describe in words with still pictures. I am working on the video. My hope is a single take without an "um.. err.." or a "blasted card has slipped under the table... OW!"

    After drafts and outlines of various subsystems, it seems that the best way to demonstrate them is by video.

Despite my best efforts, it seems like I take too long to show the reader what I'm saying. For example, I can demonstrate using playing cards for initiative in 15 seconds yet I can't seem to get it under 800 words.

So the delays have been setting up a recording place.

    Encouraged by folks online and offline, I'll be posting in September about introducing different subsystems in games. The first two posts will be about using playing cards for random encounters and magic items.

To better explain how these subsystems work, I'll use the Microlite20, The Black Hack, and Mini-Six games. M20 is roughly newish versions of D&D, The Black Hack feels a bit like older versions of D&D, and Mini-Six is non D&D.

If you know of a mini d% system or some other small (in size) game, let me know. I'm happy to branch out of D&D-ish games.
