Info… Firefox Difficulties

Thursday, February 21st, 2013

Just a head’s up for all you Mozilla-Firefox users out there…

Apparently, a recent Firefox update has put in place a different PDF reader (something called ‘PDF.js viewer’ maybe?). It appears if you are using this reader, you may have some trouble in downloading the free PDF’s on the site.

The good news is there are alternatives: the PDF’s download just fine on Internet Explorer, Safari and Google Chrome and you can still use Firefox to actually download & save the files to your computer and then open with Adobe Acrobat proper.

If anyone is still having trouble viewing stuff on the site, let us know and we will see what we can do to help you out…

New Idea Of The Week…

Monday, January 7th, 2013

There is a new Idea Of The Week up. This time it talks about using the Combat Cards & Fantasy Cards as an aid in your role playing campaigns – not for the player characters mind you, but rather as a tool for resolving important battles in the campaign that don’t involve, but will affect, the player characters.

Check it out for more information…

Update…

Tuesday, December 4th, 2012

We just realized it has been a while since we have had an update here on the site. Rest assured, a lack news is not for a lack of anything going on – we have just been so busy it slipped under the radar.

Here are some of the things we have been working on:

New Tech Card Set Coming
We are working to put the finishing touches on the next expansion for the Technology Cards. This time it will be chock full of sci-fi technologies to add to your Combat Card battles.

Print-On-Demand Commercially Printed Versions
We are also working on adjusting the formatting of the Combat and Fantasy Cards to allow for them to be printed as a finished deck by a commercial printer on a Print-On-Demand basis. While we have not yet seen the proofs, we have been assured that the cards that folks will get will be really top notch – thick glossy card stock, rounded corners, etc. We are hoping to have more information on the availability of these in the new year.

Solo Cards Progress
Work continues on the solo versions of the Combat and Fantasy Cards. The basic mechanics are pretty much done, we are now just working the kinks out of the scenario structure. So far they accomplish everything we had hoped for – they perform just like a regular game for the player, are easy to set-up and run and are useable for any genre normally covered by the games. In addition, the test battles have proven to be very fun & unpredictable and will really lend themselves to extended campaigns.

So there is a little taste of what we are working on around here. Hopefully, it won’t be quite so long before the next update… 😉
