Just keeps getting better and better.

I know it probably won't be for quite some time, but can't wait until the final version is out with no more bugs. The only thing after that is if new decks are created then they'll have to be revisions.

well

This brew has come a long way in recent times. I had a few run ins with the dev on his site about getting his ***** sorted on the project as the early stages were really just crap.



But he's really come a long way with this one and it looks like it's really starting to gather some momentum.



A very solid homebrew in progress here and as long as it continues to improve, we might see one of the 'must have' brews for the system in this project.
