Today's Thing is a Mac OSX screensaver. Shelly and I have been playing The Spoils Collectable Card Game. It's a good game that fixes most of the problems of the now bloated Magic the Gathering. Another tip, you can play almost any CCG with the excellent Lackey CCG Mac and PC program. It's free and well supported. I got all of the cards for The Spoils screensaver from there. Unfortunately, they're all the low quality JPEG scans as that's the only Lackey plugin currently for The Spoils. Someday, I hope to code my own game to play on Lackey as there's a way to make plugins for the program. Oh, I used FotoMagico to make the screensaver, the new version has a way to make mac screensavers. I bought the older version, so I apologize for the tiny banner in the screensaver. The screensaver is all the cards in the game in alphabetical order. There's some neat artwork and interesting mechanics.

Download the zip file here. It's 58 megs. Can you spot the MST3K joke in the card?
