So I see people asking for spell cards for the new Pathfinder game, which I whole heartedly support. However, please make them much better than the Crit and Fumble decks.

At the last Pathfinder Society game I was looking at a friend's Critical Hit deck, and realized VERY quickly the deck was useless to me. There was so much blank space, and the type was so small I couldn't read any of it! The type could have so easily been larger. For some reason it was decided blank space was more important than reading what the card said!

I know you guys at Paizo are still young pups, but give us old folks a break. IF you make other decks, please use a font size that can actually be read.

I strongly agree with this comment, there is way too much unused space on these cards. I can still read these, but in low-light situations it is not as easy as it should be. The items are great and my players love them, although I suspect it is my enthusiasm in yanking out the deck. When I used a modified Arduin critical system, their enthusiasm was not as great.

I will join the parade. The typeset is very small, and there is ALOT of wasted space.

If the spell cards are forthcoming, please make the type larger.
Also please send a loyal customer a bone aboutthe Crit. Fumble deck do we HAVE to wait until AUGUST to get these again?

But small type is so hip right now.

You'll never understand, grandpa!
