Wacky Wizard Games Imprint and Three New Games Announced by @wwizardgames

Image
Wise Wizard Games announced the launch of Wacky Wizard Games, a new brand imprint focused on family-friendly, lightweight games. Three games are planned for release in 2024 as part of this new brand imprint: Star Realms Academy, Caution Signs, and Pack the Essentials. If you are interested and attending PAX Unplugged they will have prototypes of Caution Signs and Pack the Essentials. "We are super excited to be adding this new family friendly product line to our catalog. We wanted to maintain the focus of Wise Wizard Games on strategy card and dice games with geeky themes, and have created Wacky Wizard Games as an umbrella for lightweight games with a more whimsical, cute vibe," shared Debbie Moynihan, COO of Wise Wizard Games. Star Realms Academy Forge your own star realms, overloaded with cuteness! A kid friendly but still fun for grown-ups version of the popular Star Realms deckbuilding game for 2 players. A little less math, no reading necessary, but still tons of fun! 

How to Re-size Digital Comics in ComicRack for use with Tablets

Image
For those of you who don't know ComicRack  is a utility to not only organize your physical copies but also any comics you have in .CBR, .CBZ, .PDF, .CB7, DjVu, .CBT, and a few others. "ComicRack is the best eComic reader and manager for Windows computers. It is an all-in-one solution to read and manage your eComic library. It is actively maintained, has a strong user base and is FREE." One feature that I found to be very helpful when transferring your comics from your PC to a Tablet is the custom Export. Basically it allows you to re-size or compress the files based on the criteria you set and can even change the format based on what your device supports. You might ask yourself why would I want to re-size or compress the comics on when my device says it supports 1920x1280 resolution wouldn't I be getting distortion? The answer is No.
