Kale, aka Charon, sent me a few more details about his upcoming advertiser supported CCG, Geek Fight!

The setting for the first set is actually a gaming convention, and it was inspired by a movement for “geek fight clubs” seen in some areas. In the cards you will see all of your favorite geeks, ranging from “The Unwashed” to the “Obsessive Fangirl”, and even “The Grognard” and “Man-Faye” himself. The “Sword of 1000 Souls” is actually an inside joke with one of my friends, and is intended to be overpowered.

Getting the rules and cards ready is a real chore, but I am reaching the finish line. I also have a list of sponsors that is growing rather quickly, and that will be posted on the site ASAP.
