Well, here it is Tuesday morning and I’m writing the blog that I forgot to write on Monday night. I was going to write my blog after rebooting my computer but by the time it completed rebooting, I had moved on to something else and completely forgot about the blog. I am that absent-minded.
So, remember when I said I didn’t think I’d have time to draw three strips AND a mash-up in a weekend and that I’d be doing three strips and no mash-ups? Well it turns out that I really missed drawing mash-ups last weekend, so I ended up drawing one this weekend. I get a different kind of satisfaction from drawing a mash-up than I do drawing a strip, so it looks to me like I’ll be switching back to the old format of two strips and a mash-up shortly after New Year’s. There was a chance that I was going to stay with the three strips a week format like a lot of other online comics, but it’s not for me.
I said my thoughts of Star Wars The Card Game would follow my first play last week. I’m running short on time before I need to go catch the bus, so I’ll keep it short. I liked the game. It’s got some good mechanics and plays well. I’m not sure I built a well-balanced Dark Side deck as I was short on characters for the most part. I also needed more resources to play the good cards than I was generating. It may all have been just a bad shuffle and draw. I’d have to try the deck again though I have two other Dark Side decks to try out first.
Okay, that’s all I have time for this morning. Have a good week y’all!
