Like any self-respecting hacker you will be customizing your deck as you play Card Drives. Cut, draw, and put stickers on your cards to improve their performance and unlock new programs.

The crowdfund goes live next week:

Art of an ace of spades playing card with cuts and modifications on it. These ram cards let you draw more cards as you play them, can have new suits, and different values.

Today in Blades in the Dark: the Hawkers had downtime and weathered Blue Coat scrutiny. The Leech made inroads into high society. The Slide was faced with difficult decisions and met with Bazso Baz. The Lurk put on an old costume and met with some messy theatre performers.

The clocks tick.

Folks keep talking about how digital PDF’s are more sustainable for indies.

So here’s the deal: this project will be digital. A pdf you can print. A digital network keeper.

If you give a little more I send you a modded card you can slot in your cyberdeck.

VOID_SHIFT is a solo deckbuilder where you build a space repair crew to complete a job with a time limit. Games take like 20-40 minutes. The physical edition contains the deck, five dice, and instructions in the lovely package above.

Get it here: shop.binarystar.games/products/voi...
A spread showing deck cards, job cards, dice, and the instruction card.

I always wanted to design a custom card deck, so this was a lot of fun. (Also, the quality of the POD cards is surprisingly good!)

These posters for the South Korean stage production of Macbeth are the greatest thing ever? #art
Poster for the South Korean stage production of Macbeth showing Lady Macbeth whose back is turned to us, and Macbeth posed towards us with his hand on the back of his wife's neck. The long cut in the back of her dress reveals skin in the shape of a sword/dagger that Macbeth seems to be holding. Poster for the South Korean stage production of Macbeth showing Lady Macbeth facing us with her cleavage cut into three pointy triangles. Macbeth is kneeling in front of her, away from us, his face in his wife's chest. The exposed skin of Lady Macbeth looks like a crown that aligns with the top of Macbeth's head.

In CARD DRIVES you use a deck of cards as your cyberdeck and character sheet, pumped full of custom programs, adware, ICE, and more.

Live and die on the 'Net and pass on your deck to a new hacker and start the whole thing over.

Coming soon!

The pandemic happened, I lost my job, and the Canadian government had a moment of clarity and did universal basic income for about 2 years.

I didn't choose it. I wanted to tell stories all my life. Everything else kept getting in the way, and making TTRPG's actually made me money.

CARD DRIVES will be my first digital only crowdfund. No printed rules, just a PDF and some Google Sheets for ease of play.

This gig is hard to sustain these days so I’m cutting my biggest cost: printing and shipping zines.
