My name is Hugo Ferreira, but you might also know me as the Ophidian "Lore Guru" Lord, and it's with overwhelming joy that I am writing this today. As of today, the best customizable card game that ever hit the market reached a colossal milestone! Today we celebrate the 18th anniversary of Ophidian 2350 CCG and to a certain degree the birthright of my own Ophidian Universe, sometime later.
So first of all, and once again, thank you Gregg, Raffi, and Shaun for creating this bad boy and letting me play on your playground. But also thank you Carl and Jason for expanding it and enhancing it even more, and mostly for also letting me play ball by contributing to your amazing versions of our game.
You see, even though I do not have any credits on the making of our birthday boy here, as I only entered the fray one year later, that means that damn, for me, it's 17 years of almost non-stopping promoting and expanding this awesome game with the writing of over 160 Gladiators Bios, multiple fictions, all that you can find on our Blog, a pen and paper Role-Playing Game that has the Ophidian 2355 setting and even a couple of games and related projects, that for A or B, I still haven't released to the general public.
Overall even though most didn't have the opportunity to enjoy the magnificent Ophidian 2350 CCG when it was first released back in 2003, due to multiple reasons, the thing to retain is that so far it spawned into one short-lived online game of my own creation - Ophidian 2355 RPG, that later I turned it into a pen and paper version, one tabletop game - Ophidian Wars made by Carl, and one recent expandable card game Ophidian 2360 made by Jason, and hopefully during the years to come, I do know for that fact that our journey is far from over, as it actually is just beginning now that we're reached into adulthood.
On a sober note, to end this long message, unfortunately, this year, I didn't have time to create a print and play set to celebrate this milestone, as I usually do, nor I do have any news on when our game, or a new variant, or even Jason's new venture, unrelated but somewhat compatible - ArenaVerse, will be hit the prints, as this year I've been a little away from our Ophidian Universe for a magnitude of reasons, even though you may find new content on the blog every week, those were written and scheduled for over a year or so now, but at least I managed to mix my new project - designing T-shirts, with our Universe and create a group of Tees for the Ophidian Universe, and from it, this awesome tee was born...
You can find this one, and the rest of the Ophidian Universe Tees, alongside some other designs of my other projects on https://mscaosinfinito.creator-spring.com. I hope you enjoy this text alongside my new T-shirt and hope to see you around in the Ophidian Universe, as the future is much like our games, an undiscovered country.
Thank you all.
