Deck code: ZVEJZ
So, the idea is to create a custom f.ds themed Cards Against Humanity deck. When we have a bunch of cards, we can make the deck on Cardcast and actually play with it on Pretend You're Xyzzy (which is free) if we can have enough people interested in playing at the same time, or it can be run as a forum game if not. Even if you don't intend on playing CAH with other f.dsers, you can just come up with cool card ideas just for fun.
You can submit any number of cards and they can be white cards or black cards. The formatting of the cards should follow the instructions from Cardcast:
PlaceholdersAn underscore (_) indicates where a white card fits into a black card. Use up to three.
- Good: I always say _ makes a great gift.
- Good: _ is the best thing about _.
- Good: What makes a great gift? _
- Bad: What makes a great gift?
CapitalizationBlack cards: Write as sentences using proper punctuation and capitalization.
- Good: The latest Californian fad is _.
- Bad: the latest Californian fad is _.
- Bad: The latest californian fad is _
White cards: Only capitalize proper nouns and generally exclude punctuation.
- Good: yoga classes with Batman
- Bad: yoga classes with Batman.
- Bad: Yoga classes with Batman
PhrasingBlack card and white card phrasing must match. Ideally, black cards should prompt noun-like white cards.
- Bad: last night we jump up and down.
- OK: last night we decided to jump up and down.
- Good: last night was full of jumping up and down.

Furthermore,
generally the following should be kept in mind:
- The majority of black cards should only have one blank space for a white card, but there should also be some with two or three blank spaces.
- Designing cards by taking an established sentence and breaking it up into a black card and a white card is certainly acceptable, but there should be a good number of other kinds of cards as well.
- Not all cards have to be specifically f.ds related. This applies especially to black cards.
- The cards should have at least the potential to be funny in the right circumstances. It's fine to have cards that are inherently funny on their own, and it's also fine to have cards that are only funny in rare situations, or only found funny by some people.
For the time being, all card submissions will be counted because we need a lot of them.
