Hey, how's this for an "out-of-the-box" idea? I'd be interested in trying it.

Any more details on how these work?

I can imagine these working well with action points or another expendable, earned resource. I'm eager to see how these work, especially given how essential the critical decks have become to my play experience.

This is my little baby. I am not quite ready to reveal the mechanics and such, but rest assurred we will preview this in the Paizo blogs before it releases. I am using a variant of these cards in my home campaign and they are a blast! Paizocon attendees will be able to use them in a very unique event that we are also not ready to unveil. :)

Excellent - push that envelope!!!!

Sounds interesting - I always loved the Torg subplot cards (*like Nemesis, Contact,etc...) and if they have a similar mechanic to that, it should be well worth a look.

C.L.O.S.A.T. cards are great...illustrated ones are even better. :D Looking forward to this.

please dont flame me, but could this be used in 4e?

i love the game mastery cards, so just wondering if i can use this? the mechanics cant be so different that they dont have some crossover. unless it affects the abilities.

i have a system where i hand out a card with a mechanic bonus for good role roleplaying, great ideas, sound planning, and making me laugh.

it has a +1, +2 or +3 to attacks, skills, etc. i have about 500 of them, all a little bit different. there are collection cards, if you collect 4 of the same kind, you get to raise an ability score. there are some that if you collect 3 you can recharge a daily power, and collect two to recharge a encounter power.

im sure that there are none for powers in the card set, but if the mechanics are like skills etc, then i should be able to use them.

please dont flame me, but could this be used in 4e?

thank you for responding to me lisa, now, get some sleep. every commander in the field needs to have an effective sleep plan.

This is a long time away, but I still want it now. This is such a brilliant idea and I look forward to it.

Will there be more decks like this one ? The idea opens up a whole can of possibilities !

At first blush, it reminds me a little of Jonathan Tweet's "whimsy cards." Didn't he eventually turn that into Everway?

If sales do well, there will indeed be more decks in the future. So buy, me hearties, buy!

I just purchased about every card set thingy that you have available at my local FLGS's. I would happily, HAPPILY, purchase these little puppies once they hit store shelves. This is not something that I would see a lot of use in something like your run of the mill AP (unless you could clue me in), but I could definitely see these in more organic games for home groups.

Lisa, can you please show us some pictures of this new baby of yours? Or get a youtube channel and some videos of it? Please?

But I can assure you that they do work just fine with Adventure Paths and other published adventures—we've been using them to great effect in our Rise of the Runelords campaign.

Well, I do have a gamemastery card subscription. Can't miss it that way.

I literally CANNOT WAIT! This looks AWESOME!

This looks really cool. Looking forward to seeing how this one turns out.

We're a ways from having anything show-offable.

So Vic, I'm not the only GM that is woefully behind on great campaigns.

Actually, I am the GM for our campaign and Vic is playing a very sexy Varisian sorceress. :) But, yeah, we are behind in our APs and always will be. I have a group of six that get together once a week for about 3 to 4 hours at a time. It takes us about a year and a half or so to get through an AP. The good news is that we have lots of options for the next one! Which looks like it will be Legacy of Fire.

*Recommendation on back cover is for four 12th level characters.

I have to admit upon reading the title of this product I thought they were being co-produced by m night shyamalan. Pull the card at the end of your adventure for a unique plot twist. Such as “turns out the characters are actually in modern times!” or “the characters are ghosts who have yet to realize it!”

What a twist!

Yeah... I like your guy's idea better.

That Monday group isn't as RP heavy as the people that I was thinking would be great for your second epic. But I'm making efforts to start going through the AP's instead of reading them and sighing heavily.

I turned over the text for the cards yesterday, so we are THAT much closer to getting these out the door! Now Sarah gets to weave her artistic magic on them to make the beautiful! What's that Wes, I need to write up the rules? Sigh, never done. Never done. :)
