chrisvenusA bad thing might be happening. Something has occurred that might get me to start bankrupting myself with buying a Collectible card game (CCG). It would appear that there is an Exalted CCG in playtesting. Damn. Hopefully it will be shit. Luckily I get to find this out first by helping playtest. So this means I need to print out the cards, read the rules and have a game with some people. But even if it isn't a fun game think of all the pretty artwork....

Exalted CCG
The 'multiple decks' idea is cool, but will make the game insanely expensive to collect since you'll need 100+ cards total to play so if the ratio of good to pants cards is similar to other CCGs (which it probably will be since nobody ever gets their balance right) you'll need to invest about £60 to play properly at all and the best part of £300 to build a tournament quality deck.

It's a plot by the American government so that the next generation of voters will understand why they need increases in the military budget.
