Black Phantom Chronicles Card Deck Behind the Scenes Part 8

Forced Alterations to Plans


Since last week, I have had several more people look at my project. Overall, I think I am content with the work. I am now in the phase of wrapping up, adding minute details, trying to make sure it prints in high quality, and that everything is clear and legible. It means a lot of tedious work, and going back in to change back what was just changed.

That said, the largest alteration to my plans is in the box and booklet area. As I continue to contemplate pricing, I realize that anything added to the deck will make the end result too expensive for future buyers and that the best thing to do is to purchase it at its shrink-wrapped default price. This changes more in my proposal than in my timeline, although there was a week I was going to design a box and now, I am not going to, because it is my opinion that anything over 20 dollars is too expensive a price for any card deck. At first, I considered designing a booklet instead, which was slightly cheaper, but the price still went over 20 dollars. Therefore, I will simply have a shrink-wrapped card deck, I hope, a very nice card deck, but nothing fancy all the same.

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...
