Black Phantom Chronicles Card Deck Behind the Scenes Part 10

Beta Test Results


I was much more pleased with this critique than with the Alpha Tests’ critique. Having more people with many different opinions is so very helpful, and although various opinions must always be taken with a grain of salt, everything everyone says is at least worth thinking about.

For instance, it was suggested to me by several people that I should duplicate the numbers and flip them opposite directions so that the card is face up either way. I am not going to do this because one of the problems I had originally is that the cards were over crowded. If I do as suggested, the number cards will go back to their state of having too much on them.

Other than that, I am taking the suggestions that were made in class about the breaks in a few of the numbers and the random dots. I am cleaning up the edges and fixing the lines in Photoshop. Of the smallness of the text, I am deleting the quotes and just moving the characters’ names to the quotes places. I am going to lighten the two dark images, and on my own critique, I have made the borders rectangles instead of squares and erased the outside symbol, thereby allowing the images enlargement.

Merlin Review/Story Plot Unlike the classic image of Merlin as an old, wise wizard, Julian Murphy’s and Johnny Capps’s Merlin rewrites the image. The series starts as a twenty-year-old Merlin travels to Camelot, sent by his mother to her friend, Camelot’s physician, Gaius. Her intention is for the physician to become the father-figure for her fatherless, magical son. It seems easy. Merlin even smiles with excitement as he sees Camelot for the first time, a shining white castle on the horizon. Mood and music quickly alter, however, as the wizard arrives inside the city just in time to witness King Uther’s execution of a person charged with performing magic. As the ax falls, the king commences to remind those gathered that all magic is pure evil and punishable by death. Despite the imminent danger, Merlin finds Gaius and remains in Camelot. And like the naïve boy he is, he shrugs aside his peril, carelessly using his own untrained magic, even in a bout with the young, seem...

The lack of Thanksgiving decorations

A Turkey in a yard from a 'how to' video on Youtube Thanksgiving Decorations Or the lack of them With October over, stores are putting up Thanksgiving dec... or I mean Christmas decorations. There may be a few inflatable turkeys or a turkey figurine here or there, but for the most part, Thanksgiving is not an easy holiday for those who like to decorate their house to match the day. So how about you? Do you find this a problem? Why or why not?

First Chapter of The Eternal Struggle (The Black Phantom Chronicles #2) Silence… The silence of impending death filled the air. No light broke the thick blackness. Not even a chisel of starlight on a moonless night seeped into his tiny, entombed—could it even be thought—coffin. Air gradually exhausted itself in the abysmal space, and Arnacin’s uncontrolled shivering, his gasping breaths, the very heat of his body, betrayed him. He sat crumpled against what used to be the entrance, sealed shut out of spite. Already, as he forced sleep away, the pain of airlessness allowed no more movement than the last futile twitch of his fingers in the place a doorway had once existed. Crack! A flash of light brought the windowless cabin back. Something in the back of his mind told Arnacin the storm bashing against all four walls was reality. His trembling body, however, insisted that the sound was wishful thinking, a last hope granted before he died in darkness. For hours on end, it was impos...
