Howdy!  I'm Nate from NW Wisconsin USA.  I'm just a casual collector of interesting card decks that recently got more serious.  While looking for display ideas and new card decks I found this site in a Google search.  I previously collected the decks and used them for card games once in a while, but now moving into displaying and protecting the better ones.  So far I have about a dozen decks and about another 6 or so on order.  I hope to start learning a few minor flourishes and the like as well.  I've been mostly active on Board Game Geek and especially Kickstarter lately.  Giving this a try now!

Question though - I added my Kickstarter URL to my profile, but it doesn't show up and everybody I look at just says 'Kickstarter' or 'Twitter', but no actual links.  Is this as designed for privacy or something???

  • Pick a card, any card...no, not THAT card!

Those links should show up, not sure why they don't.  In the meantime, feel free to drop them into your signature, which appears just below all of the messages you write.

The board has undergone a number of changes in its short 28-month existence.  I'm betting it's just a bug that creeped into the code that's causing that error.  Meanwhile, if you have an important link you'd like to show the world, just drop it into your signature, easy peasy.  If you know a little BBcode, you can place icons from Facebook, Twitter, wherever and turn them into links to your pages.
