I am stealing a bunch of this op from EvilBadman, who in turn stole it from someone else.
Looking for the in-game thread? It's right here.

What the hell is One Thousand Blank Cards?
Think "Calvinball: MS Paint Edition."
Intriguing. Tell me more!
1000 Blank White Cards is a card game. Every player gets 5 cards. They go around one at a time, drawing one card, playing one card. Play continues until the deck runs out. Simple as falling off a log.
The catch is that generally you're writing the cards, because most of the cards in your hand are blank. You can do near whatever you like with a card - make up rules, destroy the rules, modify the rules, give people titles, make unreasonable demands, give points, anything you particularly like. An example from an old game on here:
Note several important elements: A title, an image, and what the card does. These are the three common elements of any card. Or things can get a bit more... abstract.
Or possibly even surrealistic.
or
You get an idea of the kind of shenanigans that can go down.
Wait... doesn't that card make sure nobody can win?
No rule against making a rule that nobody can win.
But... I...
Right you are, my friend. Right you are.
But what's the POINT?
Play to win, my friends. Play to win.
Sort of. Only not really.
Quite often cards will give points, or coins, or glorbnaks. This is a fine thing, and a handy matchstick to determine "who has the most points". However, a true Thousand Card Master knows the point is to be funnier than the other fucksticks. If you make people laugh you have won. If you do not you can have infinity points and be a loser. Big-time loser. Epic loser.
How do I get in on this?
1. Create five cards such as ones you would use in the game. These have to be new cards, or you will be forever mocked.
2. The first five people to PM me five acceptable cards are the five players. There will only be this many players initially, though I'm not necessarily opposed to adding more players via cards in the future.
That makes twenty five cards. I will, on my own initiative, go back through other games and other sources and find another thirty five cards to seed the deck with. On top of those sixty, ninety Blank White Cards will be placed into the deck to make a total of one hundred and fifty cards.
Randomly each of the players will be given their hand of five cards. Player one will draw a card and play a card. In a sane world, player two would then draw a card and play a card, but given what we're playing, I make no promises.
Any cards bigger than let's just say 300x400 (or 400x300) will bring the risk of instant and overwhelming punitive action and mocking.
Fuck you, I won't do what you tell me!
You will now.
I'm run this game. My powers are boundless and unconstrained by the mere cards of players. I reserve the right at any time to ruthlessly execute people for not playing a card within 24 hours if I am around, or if they are terminally stupid. I am a harsh dictator.
This is too long! Can you summarize it for me?
Blank White Cards.
PM me 5 Cards uniformly formatted at 400x300 .jpgs, first five to do so are IN.
Oh, and one final note...
There is a spot reserved for another player - if he decides to participate, we will run with six players.
GET IT ON!

Hush with you, I started brainstorming some awful ideas way before you changed the title 8-)

If you emailed them to me I could conceivable host them.
Again, don't let me get you fired.
Wait, that's not right...

Hmmm... I should've made a Princess Bride card. Oh well.
Well, let's say I'll consider it. Either way, my eye will be on the thread.

Just waiting on our mystery guest now.

You might be in sooner than you think.
And like FreeAgent suggests, I'm not opposed to new people coming into play via either a card or being booted and replaced.
Steam
Valkun!? Good lords - I haven't seen you since the LP:Zelda thread!
Where have you been hiding?
My mother was in the process of and successfully completed her transition to the afterlife. Morbid but true. And I've been kind of busy trying to get into the Air Force.
I've submitted ze cards to our humble host. Hopefully there really will be some add player cards just to frustrate h-bunny.
Just a heads up - our mystery player will be busy at work for the next seven hours or so and unable to put together their cards until then, but they're definitely in.
Soooo...we'll start tomorrow when they're received.
If people that haven't yet submitted cards feel like doing so anyway, you can feel free. (I don't promise to use them but I probably will. :P)
I cannot confirm or deny that this is already the case.
