I've had some questions that keep springing up in the Ol' Thinker. How many units must sell in order to make a deck worth producing? If enough individuals were willing to pre-order a deck, and THEN submit requests on its content, discuss, debate, and agree; would "The Powers That BE" be willing and able to produce? Many people have had excellent ideas about what could be included in/comprise a whole deck; and I find myself sitting here reading it and saying "I'd buy that"; I'm guessing some of you have done this, as well. Thoughts? ...cheers...

What happened to the "New Beginnings" deck? I thought I recalled seeing it posted with the rest of the cards, and was set to be released in July. Now I've seen it on quite a few other game retailers sites, but I don't see it listed here at Paizo. Is this deck still being released, and when is the ETA for the release? Thanks, mac1504

It was indefinitely postponed... Vic Wertz wrote: It has recently become clear that, given the unexpectedly late start necessitated by the product concept, it is no longer possible for us to finish the set on the original schedule, and delaying it would introduce conflicts with schedules for other sets. Thus, this product has been indefinitely postponed. and... Vic Wertz wrote: Basically, when we put this on the schedule in February, we were expecting to see the 4E equipment lists "any day now." In fact, we only got them last week, when 4E was officially released. So we haven't made a card list or commissioned the art yet, and our artist is now working on the Second Darkness deck. Since that deck needs to come out during the Second Darkness AP, we can't just slide everything back. It's possible that New Beginnings might wind up on the 2009 product schedule, but it's also possible that it won't—we're making those sorts of decisions in the next few weeks. So, for now, it's indefinitely postponed.
