Maybe it's because I haven't read the book. I think having a short example session would help. The cards you've prepared look intriguing but I'm not quite able to make out the text. Also: If this is a CCG, how would that work? Would there be deck-building? I’m having troubles understanding that game. Maybe it’s because I haven’t read the book.

It's interesting, because I didn't really 'get' Crying of Lot 49. I understood a lot of its points, but I personally feel as though I'm missing the context of those points. However, after re-reading your idea for a CCG based on the book, I have to applaud. It's exactly the kind of happenstance which parades every which way through Pynchon's pages. Better yet, I want to play it! Oh right, I was supposed to comment.

I hope this (or indeed one/more of your many other ideas) translates into some vast and huge public adoration for you :) Unless of course the joy is just in the creating, ha ha. Then double kudos! Stu Corvus,

I've always felt that CCGs have a bad reputation because of the actions of one little hussy, M:TG. Plus the idea of expanding the narrative to the other books is a clever way to utilize Pynchon's tendency to reuse characters. While I haven't actually read this book, I definitely will now.

I'll read it swiftly, and return for another epic comment. I have a good feeling about this. I’m going to Borders after I get out of work, to see if they have this book.
