Inspiration and Time

The perceptive will notice that I haven’t updated recently. I have a “Mr. Fantastic and the Justice League” idea sitting in the drafts folder that is half done, but I’m not feeling a particular drive to keep going with. I really like the Justice League of America team from DCL, and would love to find every possible way to mix them up, but ultimately, I don’t feel like putting variations of the same decklist up. In general, the “Spin Doctoring” style has always been, for me, mostly about the build up to the decklist … the list itself just being a sort of summary, or to give something for people that don’t really want to read through all my stuff, and just want to go straight to the good stuff. Ultimately, that’s just not something I’m interested in. For the most part, I’m probably not the person that should be determining whether 2 copies of a particular card are better than having 3. I am working on a degree in stats … but ultimately, when something is going to be your job it would make deckbuilder more of a chore than a hobby if I did the whole analysis each time I built a deck. So, I’m not sure how much stuff I’ll have up on the site going forward. My time is currently split between school, a bunch of RPGs I have going, and trying to convince anyone to split with me for gas and hotel to a Mega Weekend. It’s looking like Chicago may be out … New York is closer, and it’s outside of the school year, so that seems a lot more likely. I hate saying something before I do it [it often ends up with me giving up before it happens] but I might try some story ideas out on the site. A friend of mine suggested that I use my ranks in trivial knowledge to do some comic booky ideas of my own, but I wanted to have a setting that wasn’t already done, especially with Heroes having a very good universe type [especially with it being both similar to our own world, and having an elaborate hidden history where superhumans predate the start of the show, all concepts I was looking for in mine]. I have a good idea of what the setting is like, so I’m now working of the types of characters to populate the world.
