## Notes

With the severe lack of traffic on the newsgroups, there is very little to post nowadays. We (in SoCal) have tournaments every month, so you will see them. However, Andrew Davidson has been extremely busy, so his reports are MIA.
I should clean out the registries someday. I'll be getting to the deck architypes as well, maybe a spring 1999 thing.

### What Should I Know?

Not much, to tell the truth. These are very straight-forward pages, and will remain so. No frames, nothing outside HTML 3.2. You'll always find links back along the tree structure of these pages at the bottom of each page, along with (except for the deck pages) a last modification date. Content over form, and all that.

### Why Bother?

Bryant:
I like Shadowfist a lot, so I want to encourge people to play it, so that it'll stay around and five years from now I'll be buying the Pax Britannica (Dragons from England make their presence felt, but the Jammers aren't buying it!) expansion set. Also, I get a nice chunk of egoboo from watching my hit totals slowly rise. It's a nice example of community good arising from self-interest, but I begin to verge on my political theory.

Michael:
Shadowfist is the best multi-player game on the market; We need to convince the population to play it over every other CCG. Otherwise, I used the site all the time when I first started to play the game; Now, it is my turn to give something back to the community. Plus, I have no time, so what's one more thing to do?

### Where Do You Get Material?

rec.games.trading-cards.misc mostly, and the stuff you (yes you) send me. Send me something neat and I'll stick it up, as long as it's Shadowfist-related -- you'll make my day.

### Who Are You?

Bryant:
I'm a fairly good Shadowfist player, a competent system administrator, and in general your typical Silicon Valley hacker-yuppie. My home pages, which have been vastly neglected in the course of making these pages a force to be reckoned with, are available for those who wish to plumb the depths of my psyche.

Michael:
Finally settled into a nice software engineering (i.e. programming) job with an unlikely subject: a finance company. I play many popular CCG's including M:TG, Shadowfist, and Doomtown and some not so popular ones as well. Beyond work, I seem to do too much around CCG's: I'm a playtester for Magic, a playtester for Doomtown, I tested Fist (a long time agao) and now B5 as well, a ranger for B5, and keep up these pages; plus we have a tournament a week (or more) with all of these games. Its hard keeping up! Also, I have Doomtown pages as well. Oh yah, eBay too.
