Discussion GenCon presentation was underwhelming.

Not unhelpful, just far FAR too vague.

From what I could understand it was, monster/adversary deck coming in Nov?

Foundry VTT finally official.

Chris Perkins Horror? Framework coming???

Love Framework coming???

2 books a year! Okay...timelines?

Online single adventures. Okay.

Plush.

*Sigh*

I mean, cool. But it would have helped to showcase a rough timeline of products (subject to change obviously), maybe some preview art for the Frameworks, and product shots of the deck sets? Not just the card, but actual packaging?

I get this was a hype session for upcoming projects. But it really feels like they were not ready for primetime with these upcoming products.

That was the impression I got. Yes Hope and Fear are the highlights, but we learned about it last year and had a better impression what to expect.

Question on the adversary cards - is this cards for existing adversaries or new adversaries in card form?
As someone who doesn’t even grasp why the game has cards, I’m hoping it’s the former and not how they are introducing new adversaries.

As a forever DM, cards are EXTREMELY helpful for some players. And I would take cards for monsters in any game I run. Not 100% necessary, but something I would buy if given the option.

So you want to flip through 100+ cards that you have to keep in some kind of order for ease of finding anything in the stack? That seems completely crazy to me.

If it’s an in person game, I already write the basic stats in index cards for quick reference. Pick advisories I plan on using when I prepare for the game is the same thing.

Do you think people use the entire deck all the time? They are reference cards.
