Updates!
Added 2020-05-21 06:47:21 +0000 UTCFor anyone who hasn't seen the site recently, lots has happened!
- CardCast shut down permanently and unexpectedly
- I was contacted by Cards Against Humanity, who took issue with some aspects of the site (mentioning their name, the color scheme, the donations). As such, I've removed the official card packs. However, I have some new pack content coming that I plan to provide instead. All third party packs remain. 90% of people played with the suggested packs, of which there were 65. The new suggested pack list is 56, which will grow as we add proprietary All Bad Cards cards.
- Due to CardCast shutting down, I busted my ass to create a brand new custom card system. You can now create your own custom packs and browse the packs list. You can use custom packs in your games. You can even save your favorites, which will automatically be included in your games.
- I had some of the CardCast pack data saved on my servers, so I built a page to let people download the data if they knew their CardCast code. Additionally, you can use that saved data to recreate your pack automatically on All Bad Cards
- New color scheme! Gray + blue!
I hope you enjoy the new functionality. It's definitely a bummer that the official packs AND CardCast packs are gone, but I hope this custom pack functionality helps!
Feedback is always welcome. Thanks for your support!

You should just make a whole category of cards making fun of the sheeple! The social justice Warriors and the trans... Transformers more than meets the eye😁

2020-05-30 17:32:47 +0000 UTCA long, long time ago I used to work for Absolute Quality in Hunt Valley. We did third party testing for a lot of god awful Hasbro games and products like Arthur's Reading where the developers were so bored I was writing up bugs for things like making a baseball bat look like a penis which Arthur was holding in a piñata rhyming word association game for elementary school-age children. Then words popped out of the piñata that rhymed alright... 'need' followed by the word 'weed.' SMH. Come on guys. That's what I ended up working on when my boss punished me and moved me from the project I was assigned on to the Mac lab to test educational software that no one wanted to test because I'd beaten him three times in a row in a first-person fighting game we played after hours. Don't get me wrong, we tested some fun stuff too, but most of it was mind-numbing. That was forever ago though. Late 90s, early 2000s, after a gamer friend of mine that I knew from running a WWIV BBS referred me right out of high school.

2020-05-22 20:38:14 +0000 UTCOh hey, I work in video games too :) Always happy to have help tracking down typos. I didn't write the cards, so it's basically up to everyone playing to tell me where they are! And uh, that would be a-ma-zing! I would SUPER appreciate the marketing push. I am decently skilled at grassroots marketing (which got this thing off the ground) and some sites have picked me up due to that (Business Insider, TechRadar) but 90% of the articles out there don't mention All Bad Cards as an option, even though - now - it's one of the only remaining options to play online!

2020-05-22 16:58:30 +0000 UTCI just want to second my 'thanks' for revamping this option :) Also, if you need any help with either fixing cards with typos, etc. let me know. I used to be a software beta tester back in the day outside Baltimore (fancy title for getting paid to play video games) and my current EDJ is a local marketing firm where I work remotely doing website updates, design, and content writing. So if you need an extra hand, I'd be more than happy to help and seriously appreciate you getting back to me and helping me with my plan. I'll totally write up a story and market it after the fact with a link to the game site and your Patreon since I'm a marketing nerd and writer as my way of saying THANKS! :)

2020-05-21 20:08:10 +0000 UTCIf you log in at the top with your Patreon account, you can "Save" your favorite custom packs. Those packs will automatically be included when you make new games.

2020-05-21 20:03:56 +0000 UTCHi again - is there a way to login or save our custom cards/pack preferences?
Frank Galgano
2020-05-21 19:58:34 +0000 UTCThe most useful way would be to report as a bug using the bug system for the misspellings (the link in the footer). A few people in the community have been helping track these down since there are so many. I pulled the card data from other projects, so that's where the issue comes from. Regarding the write-in, I need to revamp the system I created. I misunderstood what people wanted out of the feature. Agreed that it is a good idea!

2020-05-21 17:09:53 +0000 UTCThank you for this - it’s amazing that you put this together so quickly and so well! Two suggestions: 1 - can you have an option to write in your own answer in every hand (just like “My Cards Suck”)? That way, you can browse your hand and either play an existing card or write your own, not one or the other. 2 - There are a lot of grammatical and spelling errors. How can we flag those to help get them edited? Thanks again!!

2020-05-21 09:25:24 +0000 UTCAs was I! But, during the last week, the following all happened: I was contacted by them, CardCast shut down, Remote Insensitivity shut down, and the Creative Commons license that had been on their website for ages was removed. I guess they changed their minds.

2020-05-21 08:22:14 +0000 UTCWait, seriously? I always thought CAH was very opensource and cool about people copying it
