Project #linocut steampunk #piecepack is under way!

Quite a few months ago I started the project by making this

and buying some supplies (such as non-black linocut ink :D ), and then procrastination happened and I got quite stuck.

Today I've actually drawn all most of the pieces on tracing paper, I need to add the smaller suites, trace everything from the reverse, and then finally carve the linoleum.

And then maybe I'll start procrastinating again, or maybe I'll actually do some test prints in the weekend?

I may also be thinking of regular piecepack suites and playing card suites in the same style, but first I need to actually assemble a piecepack and discover whether it will work.

Hoping my friend @tomwsmf and I can have a Zoom #Piecepack board game afternoon...

Wife and I played our first #Piecepack board game last night: Cream of the Crop. (Piecepack is, if you don't know, the boardgame equivalent of a deck of cards -- tokens, pawns, dice and tiles that can be configured many, many ways.) I intentionally picked a not-too-difficult game from the Infinite Board Game rulebook, and it was not bad. Fun enough.

I got excited and ported a memory game I used to have, "Paternoster," to the Piecepack system.
