I've been programming since I was 8, first on an Apple IIe, then on an Atari 130XE, followed by various
x86 PCs, and finally the World Wide Web itself. Along the way, I've used (and abused) various forms of

my current day-to-day usage of JavaScript and HTML.

Since 2018, I've gotten back into RPGs in a big way, running (and playing in) several
weekly games over the course of the pandemic. Most recently, I started an

## Intro
Welcome to my custom card collection for the game *Anachronism*. It should be noted up front that I am not and have not ever been directly involved with Triking Games or [The History Channel](http://www.history.com/), except as a Judge during several organized play tournaments of *Anachronism*.
**Disclaimer: I do not own any copyrights to the game or its logos, nor am I attempting to claim the copyright of anything associated with it - all copyrights used herein are the property of their respective owners, whomever they may currently be.**
Now, with that out of the way, let me say a few words about the game itself.
<a href="#" class="topLink">Back to Top</a>
## The Game
Way back in 2005, a company called Triking Games, in conjuction with The History Channel, published a different kind of collectable card game: *Anachronism - The Greatest Game in History*.
I'll leave it to the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anachronism_(game)" target="iew_extwin">Great Oracle of All Knowledge</a>
to describe it:
> The game is a contest of arms between two <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warrior" target="iew_extwin">warriors</a> from numerous historical periods. Each game lasts a maximum of five rounds. The game is unusual for a card game in that it does not use shuffling as a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randomization">randomization</a> technique. <em>Anachronism</em> &quot;decks&quot; consist of five cards, and players do not draw cards or have a &quot;hand&quot; of cards. Despite the relatively small number of cards used in each game, card interactions and strategy can become surprisingly intricate, especially in the later rounds. Each player places his chosen warrior card on the playmat and his four support cards, face down, in slots corresponding to the first four rounds. The support cards may be any combination of inspiration, weapon, armor, or special cards. Each player flips his leftmost face-down support card at the beginning of each round. Initiative numbers on the support cards determine which player goes first in each round. The warrior cards may move and be turned (faced) as in a miniatures game. Support cards represent a variety of historical weapons, armor, items, deities, people, places or concepts such as the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nordic_countries" target="iew_extwin">Norse</a> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sword" target="iew_extwin">sverd</a> or <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japan" target="iew_extwin">Japanese</a> book <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Book_of_Five_Rings" target="iew_extwin">Go Rin No Sho</a>. The game's name is derived from the ability to mix the various support cards such that the ancient <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Greece" target="iew_extwin">Greek</a> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leonidas" target="iew_extwin">Leonidas</a> wearing a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kimono" target="iew_extwin">kimono</a> may fight a Japanese <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ninja" target="iew_extwin">ninja</a> who is wielding a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gladius" target="iew_extwin">gladius</a>. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dice" target="iew_extwin">Dice</a> are used by both the attacker and defender to determine the outcome of battles.
And unlike almost every other CCG, Anachronism packs were not blind boosters, so when you bought a [Genghis Khan](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genghis_Khan) pack, for example, you knew what 4 other cards were in the pack. And even though each player only needed 1 deck to play, the best combinations usually involved mixing cards from 2 or more packs together, so most of my friends would buy complete (or mostly complete) sets of the decks, just to maximize playability. And my friends and I played it alot, both when hanging out together, and at organized tournaments. In fact, I got into it big enough that I started running weekly, Triking-sponsored tournaments at our <abbr title="Friendly Local Game Store (in our case, Ballistic Comics)">FLGS</abbr>, even hosting the state's only *regional qualifying* tournament for 2006 (to qualify for the World Tournament at Gencon).
Unfortunately, a run of (<abbr title="In My Humble Opinion">IMHO</abbr>) less-appealing cards hit the game, and enthusiasm died down. Before long, the company closed, and Anachronism was just another footnote in gaming history. But that shouldn't mean the end of the game. And with *Anachronism*, it wasn't.
A group of determined former judges and players got together, and before long actually released a print-and-play card set containing cards which Triking had designed prior to their closing, along with an additional set based on the judges own ideas'. It is in the spirit of these "homebrew" sets that I present my own submission to the greater *Anachronism* fan community.

## My Cards
I've created a fair number of cards, and hope to have them all listed here before too long, but for the time being, I've only managed to build pages for my custom US American cards

## Credits
Many thanks to those who supported this project, intentionally or otherwise. Most especially, thanks to:
+ Triking Games and the History Channel, for publishing the game (and the prize support);
+ Ballistic Comics, for carrying the game and hosting the official tournaments (you will be missed);
+ My old play group, for all the good times;
+ Devin Heard for the [Encyclopedia Anachronistica](http://dystemporalia.org/encyclopaedia/) his fantastic interactive card reference (which was immensely helpful in designing the cards);
+ Twan van Laarhoven for [Magic Set Editor](http://magicseteditor.sourceforge.net/) and artfreakwiu for his [Anachronism templates](http://msetemps.sourceforge.net/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?t=144), without which these cards would look alot crappier; and
+ My family (especially my son, KDub) for their playtesting and continued support.

Even though modern historians have raised doubts about his actual prowress as a criminal, Billy's notoriety as an outlaw in the American "Old West" made him the perfect addition to this set.

It's safe to say that I have wanted a George Washington deck almost from the very first time I saw **Anachronism**. I'm not entirely sure why, but as the years went on, my enthusiasm never waned. So, once I started putting this culture together, his was the first deck I finished, and became the format by which the others were built (specifically, a firearm for a weapon, and an ally for a Special).

I always felt that the US should have had its culture pack. I mean, sure, there was a Native American pack (a good set, at that), and a Frontier American pack (?!), but where was the culture that included [George Washington](/anachronism/us_americans/george_washington), or [Billy the Kid](/anachronism/us_americans/billy_the_kid)? Where was [Wyatt Earp](/anachronism/us_americans/wyatt_earp), or [Ulysses S. Grant](/anachronism/us_americans/ulysses_s_grant), or [Robert E. Lee](/anachronism/us_americans/robert_e_lee)? And so it was that I sought to fill this gap with my custom-made **Anachronism US American Culture Pack**, featuring five of the greatest warriors ever to have called themselves Americans.
I have tried to use only sourced, public domain or otherwise <acronym title="Non-Copyrighted">N&copy;</acronym> material to build these cards. If you discover that I am in error or somehow in violation of a copyright, please let me know at <anachronism@itsericwoodward.com>, and I will take every measure possible to correct the mistake.

Considered by many to be one of the greatest military leaders in U.S. history, General Robert E. Lee commanded the Army of Northern Virginia (and, eventually, all of the Confederate forces) during the Civil War.

In 1997, I released my first (and, so far, only) computer game, **Camp Happy Island Massacre**, a comedy-horror text game for the DOS operating system. Originally written while I was still in college, the game is about a cursed summer camp and the 3 surviving counselors who try to stop a horrific force before it claims them.
If you have a functional DOS machine (or an emulator, like [DOSBox](https://www.dosbox.com/)), you can download the game in a [ZIP file](/files/chim/chim.zip), which contains the following files:
+ [`CHIM.EXE`](/files/chim/chim.exe) *(the main executable file)*
+ [`CHIM.FAQ`](/files/chim/chim.faq) *(list of frequently asked questions)*
+ [`FILE_ID.DIZ`](/files/chim/file_id.diz) *(ZIP file descriptor)*
+ [`INTRO.TXT`](/files/chim/intro.txt) *(the intro screen)*
+ [`LICENSE.TXT`](/files/chim/license.txt) *(the distribution license)*
+ [`MAP.TXT`](/files/chim/map.txt) *(a text map of the island)*
And now, thanks to [DOSBox](https://www.dosbox.com/), [Emscripten](http://emscripten.org/), and their unholy lovechild, [JS-DOS](https://js-dos.com/), you can play **Camp Happy Island Massacre** in your browser:
<div id="jsChimDb"></div>
<button class="btnFullscreen" onclick="chim_db.requestFullScreen();">Open in Fullscreen</button>
<script type="text/javascript" src="./js-dos-api.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var chim_db = new Dosbox({
id: "jsChimDb",
onload: function (chim_db) {
chim_db.run("/chim/chim-exe.zip", "./CHIM.EXE");
},
onrun: function (chim_db, app) {
console.log("App '" + app + "' is running!");
}
});

A few years ago, I got heavy into Steve Jackson's incredible conspiracy-focused game, [Illuminati](http://www.sjgames.com/illuminati/), and made a handful of cards inspired by some of my favorite conspiracies, which you can find below:

As it says [elsewhere](/about.html), my name is Eric Woodward, and this is my website.
Mostly, I use it as a repository for some of the stuff that my brain has dumped out through the years, such as the [games](games.html) and [web](web.html) projects that I occasionally work on, the odd [journal entry](/journal/), and what I'm working on right [now](/now.html).
I also host [my own git repos](https://git.itsericwoodward.com/), in case you want to see what I've been working on.
Thanks for stopping by!

_Compiled 2014-03-10 / Updated 2022-09-17_
[As noted elsewhere](/linklists/pd_comics.html), my total inability to draw has often hindered my creative processes, forcing me to rely on overlong text descriptions or poorly-drawn sketches. While researching other possible graphic sources, I came across several sites brimming with resources for game developers like myself, who wish to use <abbr title="Creative Commons">CC</abbr> and <abbr title="Public Domain">PD</abbr> art to make new games.
Below are links to some of the sources I've been using, compiled as of March 10, 2014. The links were last verified (and one was updated) on September 17, 2022.
### Links
- [Art Assets for Game Developers](http://letsmakegames.org/resources/art-assets-for-game-developers/) - The name says it all. Part of [LetsMakeGames](http://letsmakegames.org/), a Australian non-profit that supports game development.
- [OpenGameArt.org](https://opengameart.org/) - Also listed on the site above, this site includes free sprites, tiles, sounds, and other useful bits.
- [Game-icons.net](http://game-icons.net/) - A collection of SVG-based game-related icons that can be used in most any digital (or paper) games.
- [Ambrosine's Game Creation Resources](http://www.ambrosine.com/resource.php) - A searchable database of game engines and resources, plus lots of info about classic games.
- [Pixabay](https://pixabay.com/) - A searchable database of over a million public domain images.
- [Wikimedia Commons](https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page) - Boasting of 46 million media items, this is the media collecting arm of the Wikimedia Foundation (the keepers of the [Great Oracle of All Knowledge](https://www.wikipedia.org)).

_All Links Last Verified: 2022-09-17_
As a self-professed serial enthusiast, I often go on tangents of research about very specific topics. When the topic is somewhat obscure or "retro", I usually find myself wading through pages and pages of search results that go to dead links, inactive sites or, even worse, straight-out bad information. When that happens, I'll often collect a page of the good links, tack a date on the top (indicating when I last checked the links), and file them away as LinkLists.
Some of the ones I've posted here:
- [Blogroll](/linklists/blogroll.html) - Blogs I like to read.
- [Free Game Development Resources](/linklists/free_gamedev.html) - A collection of free assets to use while designing games (digital or analog).
- [MUCK Resources](/linklists/muck_stuff.html) - I briefly got into multi-user text gaming, and compiled these links while I was attempting to figure it out.
- [Public Domain Comic Book Resources](/linklists/pd_comics.html) - Recently, I've discovered a treasure-trove of fantastic, completely-free images, hidden in the comic books of the 40s and 50s.
- [Tabletop Role-Playing Game Resources](/linklists/tabletop_rpg.html) - A bunch of great, _free_ resources for starting and running role-playing game campaigns.
- [Web and JavaScript Game Design Tutorials](/linklists/web_game_tuts.html) - Inspired by a request from my nephew, who wished to learn the dark arts of coding.

A good friend and myself worked for a while on building up a <abbr title="Multi-User Chat/Created/Computer/Character/Carnal Kingdom">MUCK</abbr>, running Fuzzball 6.0.
Unfortunately, we were a little late to the party, and it proved difficult to find good actively-maintained online resources. To that end, I created this list of active MUCK-related sites, as of September 15th, 2011. The links were last verified on September 17, 2022.
I hope it serves someone well.
_Update 2015-11-11 - Since it's been 4 years since I first wrote this list, I should mention that I actually wound up becoming frustrated with the limitations of the MUCK software, and abandoned it for the much better-documented [LambdaMOO](http://www.moo.mud.org/), before ultimately losing interest in the whole endeavour._
### Links
- [The official Fuzzball site](http://www.fuzzball.org/) - Links to the official repos and docs, presented via a (fake?) telnet session. - _OFFLINE as of 2018-05-20_
- [Ginger's MUCK Help Page](http://www.soappuppy.com/muck/) - Scripts, documentation, and other &ldquo;Useful Stuff&rdquo;.
- [The Mink MUCK Manual](http://www.rdwarf.com/users/mink/muckman/toc.html) - Good material, but unfortunately most of the rest of the links on this site aren't good.

I've been an <abbr title="Role-Playing Game">RPG</abbr> enthusiast for 30+ years, and after a long hiatus, I've been lucky enough to spend the past few years playing (and running) regular games. Thanks to the explosion of content from the <abbr title="Old-School Renaissance">OSR</abbr> (a ["play style movement"](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_School_Renaissance) inspired by the early days of RPGs), there are a number of great, _free_ resources for starting and running campaigns.
Below are links to some of the sites I've been using for my own games, compiled as of September 17, 2022.
### Links
- [DnD Speak](https://www.dndspeak.com/) - Excellent collection of tools, tables, and lists to inspire your games.

_Compiled 2012-07-23 / Verified 2022-09-17_
The other day (_over a decade ago, as of last update_), my nephew asked me for some advice on learning how to code. Having been a code monkey myself since 3rd grade, I can appreciate the desire to learn coding in general, and game development (his preferred specialty) in particular.
But, things have change alot in the <strike>25</strike> 30+ years since I first learned, and I suspect that learning BASIC on an Apple IIe is no longer the preferred starting method (or even terribly useful). So, after some brief thought, I suggested he learn the art of JavaScript (and the HTML that surrounds it), which I prefer for several reasons:
1. it's simple (or, at least, can be, with the right libraries),
2. it's powerful, thanks to the modern JS engines in Chrome and Firefox, and
3. it's relevant in this modern, interconnected world.
So, in order to simplify the transfer of knowledge for him, I present the Web and JavaScript Game Design Tutorials LinkList, as compiled July 23rd, 2012. The links were last verified on September 17, 2022.
### Links
- [W3Schools.com](https://www.w3schools.com/) - I've been a fan of this site for years, and found them to be an invaluable resource as I honed my own JavaScript skills. They have basic and advanced tutorials in both [HTML](https://www.w3schools.com/html/) and [JavaScript](https://www.w3schools.com/js/), as well as lots of examples and references.
- [Tizag](http://www.tizag.com/) - Well I'm not particularly familiar with this site, they look like they have some good from-the-ground-up tutorials on everything from [HTML](http://www.tizag.com/beginnerT/) and [JavaScript](http://www.tizag.com/javascriptT/) to [Perl](http://www.tizag.com/perlT/) and [Flash](http://www.tizag.com/flashTutorial/) (and lots of stuff in between).
- [Developing HTML5 Canvas Games for Facebook with JavaScript](http://manuel.kiessling.net/2012/04/02/tutorial-developing-html5-canvas-games-for-facebook-with-javascript-part-1/) - A more specific tutorial, written by a developer who wanted to teach his 5-year-old son about video games. Steps through the building of a simple space-shooting game.
- [Codeacademy](https://www.codecademy.com/) - A relatively new tutorial site, with a social bend. Sign in via Facebook, and earn badges and achievments while you learn. Looks like it might be a great way to learn, as it seems to start right out with an interactive JavaScript command line.
- [Eloquent JavaScript](https://eloquentjavascript.net/) - A free ((Creative Commons 3.0 Attribution, for those that care about such things.)) ebook designed to be a "modern introduction to programming" by way of the JavaScript language.
- _The Very Simple Tic-Tac-Toe Tutorial Using HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript_ (formerly at http://www.dreamincode.net/forums/topic/247361-simple-tic-tac-toe-using-html5-css3-and-javascript/) - The name says it all. A single page tutorial posted to the dreamincode.net forums, covering the step-by-step process of developing a simple game. Link down as of 2022-09-17\_
- [HTML5 Games 101 - An introductory tutorial to HTML5 Games](https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/230794/HTML5-Games-101-An-introductory-tutorial-to-HTML5) - Another step-by-step tutorial, this one demonstrating how to build a simple snake game.
- [MDN - Learn Web Development](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn) _(New)_ - The Mozilla Developer's Network is a treasure trove of information, with tutorials and reference material for all levels of developer.

Enjoy these custom tokens I made, based on other games and movies.
As with [my other custom Magic cards](/magic-cards), these were created with the help of the excellent [MTG Cardsmith](https://mtgcardsmith.com/).
This first set uses art from my game, [Mythic Wars](https://mythicwarsgame.com/):
<ul class="clearfix pageMenu pageMenu-gameCards">
<li class="pageMenu-item">
<a class="pageMenu-gameCardLink" target="iew_extwin"
href="/images/magic/mythicwars/horror.jpg">
<img class="gameCardImg" alt="Horror"

</li>
</ul>
This set was made at the request of a friend for a Demons deck he was building, and was inspired by the movie [Dogma](<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dogma_(film)>):

title: Magic Decks
description:
date_pub: 2019-02-23T16:28:00-05:00
content_type: feature
section: games
subsection: magic-decks

I'm a huge fan of [Magic: the Gathering](https://magic.wizards.com/), personally believing it to be one of the greatest
tabletop games ever designed. I've been playing it for the past 18 years or so, and frequently join my friends in their weekly casual games (which have been running for over a decade).
Initially, we played regular, 60-card Magic (aka [Legacy format](https://magic.wizards.com/en/game-info/gameplay/formats/legacy)), but have shifted over the last few years to playing <abbr title="Elder Dragon Highlander">EDH</abbr> (aka [Commander format](https://magic.wizards.com/en/content/commander-format)) fairly exclusively. As I've been rebuilding my decks to work with the new format, I decided to start documenting them (or, at least, the ones that actually <strike>win</strike> work).
Click on a deck name below to see its full list of cards.
+ [Edgar-World](edgar.html) - A red-white-black vampire-tribal deck headed by [Edgar Markov](http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=433277) (because I &hearts; Eminence).
+ [Estrid's Masks of Fate](estrid.html) - A green-white-blue deck with a heavy focus on enchantments (especially Totem Armor) commanded by the Planeswalker [Estrid, the Masked](http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=450641).
+ [The Fight of Dragons](ur-dragon.html) - A five-color dragon-tribal deck headed by [The Ur-Dragon](http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=433289) (because I *really* &hearts; Eminence).
+ [A Hard Day's Knight](knights.html) - A red-white-black knight-tribal deck with lots of equipment, commanded [by Syr Gwyn, Hero of Ashvale](http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=476048).
+ [Saheeli-Thopters](saheeli.html) - A blue-red deck based around (and commanded by) the Planeswalker [Saheeli, the Gifted](http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=450645).
+ [Slimefoot's Sapsuckers](slimefoot.html) - A black-green deck designed to generate and then sacrifice Saprolings, all to trigger Commander [Slimefoot, the Stoweaway](http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=443093)'s damage-inflicting ability.
+ [Tap-Bomb](hidetsugu.html) - A mono-red deck built solely to enable the ability of its Commander, the tap-bomb himself, [Heartless Hidetsugu](http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=382282). Stupidly evil.
+ [Temmet's Invisi-Tokens](temmet.html) - A white-blue deck full of token-creature-generating spells, just so Commander [Temmet, Vizier of Naktamun](http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=426909) can make them unblockable.
+ [Wrexial Rising](wrexial.html) - My first commander deck, a blue-black horror-themed deck headed by the Cthulhu-esque [Wrexial, the Risen Deep](http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=446907).

### Notes
This deck is still quite new, with the official Saheeli deck having just been released in August, 2018. It's my first (and, so far, only) Planeswalker Commander deck, mostly because I don't typically like using mono-colored Commanders, which all of the previous Commander-capable Planeswalkers were.

Between the hours of roughly 9AM and 12AM (`America/New_York` time, give or take an hour or two), you'll most likely find me working on any or all of the following:
- work stuff,
- this website,
- some crazy side project (probably involving a game and/or a Raspberry Pi), or
- my Monday night [Old School Essentials](https://necroticgnome.com/collections/old-school-essentials) campaign.

The web is, IMHO, the most revolutionary invention in information sharing since [Gutenberg's](https://www.gutenberg.org/) printing press. As such, I spend an inordinate amount of time thinking about the web, and I do what I can to help [develop it](https://blog.itsericwoodward.com/2015/developing-the-web).
### Here
+ [LinkLists](/linklists) - Lists of links (natch) to various web sites, resources, and/or [blogs](/linklists/blogroll.html), typically organized around a particular subject. Like bookmarking, but not. Updated (occasionally).
### Elsewhere
+ [Mythic Wars](https://mythicwarsgame.com/) - The site for my tabletop card-and-dice game, where the gods and goddesses themselves battle for ultimate supremacy! Features a free print-and-play demo, lots of free wallpapers, and the comprehensive rules, among other things.
+ [The Codex Mythica](https://codex.mythicwarsgame.com/) - An [open-source](https:/git.itsericwoodward.com/eric/codex-mythica/) web application I wrote which functions as a card database for Mythic Wars.
+ [My Blog](https://blog.itsericwoodward.com) - A retired instance of the [Known blogging software](https://withknown.com/) where I used to collect my various day-to-day musings.
+ [My Code Repos](https://git.itsericwoodward.com/) - A private [Gitea](https://gitea.io/) instance hosting some of my Git repositories.
