dexfarkinFirst off, someone was blasting Paper Lace on a stereo as I got out of the subway station this morning. It's always nice to know that you've swapped realities.

So, Steve Jackson Games has put out a new addition to their Chez Geek line. If you don't know what that is, a helpful link.
In a nutshell, its the classic card game of being roommates. Each of you contests for booze, nookie and sleep in order to earn the most slack and win. Too often these games take on terribly fitting results. Anyhow, three new sets have come out for them. Chez Greek, Chez Goth, and Chez Grunt. Set in the gothic subculture, a college frat house and the Army respectively, each follows the same idea as the original, and all six sets can be played as a single massive game.
Guess who got the three new decks this weekend?
Years ago, I posted a series of cards for a Chez Dex series here. Unfortunately, technical difficulties killed the actual production of cards, but I might revisit the project again after the con. I need to get back to some artwork. Obviously my old cards are hopelessly out of date. So, I'm holding open card auditions. If you've got an idea for a card, drop me a comment and I'll add the best ones.
Bucket of Sangria - Thing(Booze) Cost-3, Slack-3 "This has gotta be the third largest sangria I've ever had!"
Digital Camera - Thing Cost-2, Slack-0 The camera adds 1 slack to all Nookie rolls, including those with the Live-In SO. "Of course I keep these private, hon."
Fandom Wank - Whenever - Fandom Wank automatically cancels Blogging, even after its been played. "Because the trolls needed even more attention."
On-line RPGs - Activity Cost-0, Slack-1 die-2 Automatically reduces next turns free time to 1 "It was causing social conflicts, so I just stopped doing everything else."
