Three more cards for EF (yes, it's still on hiatus) and I've been doing them one every other day or so. The count is 130 out of 150 cards, so it's the last 20, and that would probably take the net 6 months or more. It can wait though. All cards are on the Custom Cards site... somewhere. There's one that I drew yesterday, but haven't placed on the blog yet. One of these days.

Besides updating the site for the new EF cards though, there's the new stuff on the site as well... new BoA for starters and uh mostly announcements. I've got to add the remaining BoA soon and the April Calendar, which I did today, but won't be posting it up until nearer to the end of the month.

Talking about the announcements there though, it seems pretty certain that 2i has given/licensed their rights to MND to Cookie Jar Entertainment. The links there proof from different avenues that the property is with CJE, although there hasn't been any announcement yet from them. The only announcement that has been official is the Nova thing about the online game. Ah well.

And as for the online game, the March tournament haven't been too shabby with almost a score of games played. The top is still pretty bunched up though, so unless someone plays a few more games, the prize will probably get split at the beginning of next month. That's cool though.

There's also quite a bit of playtesting being done for the custom cards... all 3 of the expansions that are still in playtesting - TG, KQ and TW. I've given out some tokens... which reminds me, I've got to get the contest going for next month. More forum posts...

An aside though, there's been some activity on the HumAliens Yahoo group, and I've been monitoring what's going on there. Perhaps there is increased collector's frenzy in anticipation of the new animated series?

Mark has been busy on his games, the amount of updates he's been doing is, well, crazy from my point of view, but fabulous from Ed's point of view. Logan has been tinkering with LMS like it's the only thing left in the world, expect lots of good things there. Tomi got a Mythos update, and a Tomb Raider bugfix over the weekend! Wow, that's busy. Martin is has a few more days left on his next VTES expansion. I think it's probably ready and all. Ed had to give everyone a free month on VTES though, because of server issues. Hmm... I didn't realise it was that bad, but I haven't been playing recently as well.

Two other things non-CCGW-wise. The first is that I've been perfecting Merry (he's in Lost as well!) with threats and So Fair so Desperate. Coupled him with Madril and IB and skirmish card discarding Targon (in place of Smeagol) and they seem to be rather good... if the draws are favourable, and I don't get stuck with shadow cards near the beginning.

The other thing is that today I found out I have been made a moderator for the Urban Dead wiki. Wow and ouch. Time to get really really busy.
