Hi!

I'm Carolyn from PA. I recently got hooked on cards via Kickstarter - had read Name of the Wind a long time ago and liked it a lot, backed that deck and started seeing others. Then, well, there are all these other neat card designs..... and maybe even the (remote?) possibility of learning a few new skills. I had no idea what an interesting ecosystem playing cards inhabit.

I should explain my screen name, from a previous hobby - also mostly but also by no means completely a Domain of Men. Autocross is the parking lot/cones/racing thing and I did it (mostly slowly) for about ten years, during which I did a lot of driving schools. At one of these my husband and co-driver both did the school the day before me and completely wore out the tires. As a result I drove the whole day on corded tires, ie, on the bare steel. Now that was exciting.

You all have a good forum here. Looking forward to learning more.

Regards,
Carolyn

Welcome aboard. Lot of great people and designers on here. Take a look at everything, and jump right in.

I have never raced on corded tires, but have to admit driving on pretty bald tires once upon a time.
Last night I stayed up late playing poker with Tarot cards. I got a full house and four people died.

Don't inconvenience yourself on my account. Anyway, the last time "a girl" accurately described me was.............I can't think of a world event that would make sense to you, because you're too young. Well, never mind.

We aren't all young whippersnappers around here - despite the average age being between 15-25...  :))
