Thanks everyone for reading and commenting, I really appreciate it. I continue to get much more out of this than I ever expected to.
In an effort to include some modicum of content, I'll share a minor vanity/convenience order I got in last week - nerd cards!

Including shipping, was under $10 for way more cards than I expect to ever use. I always find it awkward meeting new gamers to get/give contact info that will be kept track of and to pimp my blog, and end up scribbling info on scraps of paper. Now when I play someone new that I'd like to again, I can just pass them a nerd card.
There's probably some technological way to do it like tapping datapads together or something, but I haven't even figured out how to text or put names by contact numbers in my phone yet so a paper-based solution was the way to go for me.
Any non-direct gaming or hobby aids you've come up with to make your life easier?
Nerd Cards ... great idea :D
ReplyDeleteAnd way more personal then sharing your contact information via phone, datapad, whatever.
Neat concept. I'd spend forever & a day designing mine, but neat idea.
ReplyDeleteThat is hoo-LARious! Me likey.
ReplyDelete@t800a - Thanks. Yeah, I like the personal touch, even if it does seem a bit vain. I think it could be cool for a group to make group cards too to advertise their club, with info on where they meet, club website/forums, etc.
ReplyDelete@Loquacious - Thanks. Yeah, the designing took a little while. I was helped due to having a theme I wanted (Taurus/bull/zodiac) and only having a limited selection to choose from.
@TKE - Maybe they'll spread. I look forward to having these next time I go to a tournament or other event.
dude you have 100+ followers already, your pimpings going well enough!
ReplyDeleteThat's so funny, just a weeks or so ago I was talking with a buddy of mine about getting some gaming-specific business cards made for this very purpose. Awesome!
ReplyDeleteI think thats a great idea - especially for when you meet like minded individuals on the tournament scene or new gaming group.
ReplyDeleteCheers for sharing.

@Musings - The world is not enough!
ReplyDelete@Papa JJ - cool, look forward to seeing what you get.
@Rogue Pom - Exactly. Glad you like the idea!
I went through Vistaprint, by the way. Had some job hunting cards made there earlier. They run lots of specials including free offers (like 250 cards free, just like $6 shipping, though have their logo on the back). I got these through another offer, 500 for $8.77 including shipping with blank backs. Signup for their e-spam, and strike when the offer is right.
