So I was looking at your website and with the Moon Knight OPD's you put the letters "DTR" at the end of special text. Does that stand for something? (Like a game effect or house rule or some such?)

gameplan.exe

"DTR" is the common abbreviation for "Draw To Replace". i.e., you can draw a card after playing the "DTR" special.

Ah, that makes sense now. I was trying to think existing game things and nothing seemed to fit those letters. I've actually used that effect on some of my own homemades, just called it "redraw" instead.

Well ...

Shortly after the last update financial matters took a dramatic turn for the worse, and I had been focusing so much on improving that that I kind of let all the OP stuff fall by the wayside. Most of my OP buds have had similar experiences, making it almost impossible to get together and continue play testing anything. So, the OP stuff kind of ground to a halt last summer, and remains at a stand still for the time being. I'm hoping to get things moving again in the near future, but that's uncertain as of right now.

Then, earlier this year I had a stroke and was hospitalized for a little while. I seem to have recovered pretty much completely from that, but was hospitalized again a little over a month ago for a heart problem. Since I have no insurance I'm looking at some pretty hefty hospital bills, and still trying to deal with the heart issue and high blood pressure.

But, aside from that, things have been just peachy!

I DO have a decent number of Homemade Cards backlogged and if I get a chance here before too long I'll start putting them up on the site. And there is SOME hope that we'll be able to get things going again here sometime next year, so ...


ETA: To answer the question in the OP, DTR means "Draw To Replace" as mentioned in a previous post.

Thanks man!

I'm actually OK with things at the moment, but it HAS been a wild ride the last year or so.

Thanks again!

Great to hear you're still hanging in there, Chris.  Now we share a few more points on the map of life.  As good as OP is, life always comes 1st.  (Heard that one before?)  Hope to see your site active again in the future.
As usual, my best to you and yours.

I'm working on getting the homemade cards rolling again, but it's slow at the moment. I'm optimistic for the future though.
