"Funko Fusion" was developed 10:10 Games, a company founded by Jon Burton from Traveller's Tales. Unfortunately, the game got really bad reviews.

Typing on your own computer, and having the draft stored into local storage requires absolutely no policy at all. If anyone else's computer is involved with that, then it's a problem. Also it makes no sense for a program that run

In earlier versions of C# (including .NET 3.5), Access Violations did not inherit from Exception, and could not be caught using "catch (Exception ex) { }" syntax. You had to use "catch { }" syntax instead.

I think that .NET DLLs can still be loaded by native code? I could throw together a project to check if that actually works or not. Edit: Using the tool "dllexport" ( https://github.com/3F/DllExport ), you can
