20th Anniversary
2004 – 2024

Early in the game someone asked why playing cards were used to represent vampires (in other words, why playing cards and not car keys or dog tags or - if authenticity is the aim - fangs). I explained that Dracula's name starts with D-R-A-C, which is C-A-R-D spelled backwards. Also, the last three letters of his name U-L-A, or U-LA is from the French ooo-la-la, which means I don't know what I'm talking about. It got a laugh and was subsequently incorporated into a patter story.
