I love the item card decks having purchased the Legacy of Fire, Carrion Crown, and a couple adventurer packs. But one thing that I think could be more useful to GMs is if every pack included cards that could actually be played on the map or battle grid.
I love the idea of the Gamemastery Map Pack: Caravans, but a 5x8 inch wagon and horse train just kills the space on a battle mat (even my enormous 3 ft. by 5 ft. sheet of glass over a drafters grid).
The much smaller, less wieldy 2x3 inch cards could fill the dungeon dressing niche. I'd much rather have a flat card on the board representing:
- mounts and pack animals
- carts and wagons
- tents
- pit traps (or the pit spells)
- piles of coins
- magic carpets
- a set of stairs
- a patch of phosphorescent fungi
- teleportation or summoning circles

I heartily endorse this idea!
I like it a lot, but I'd like them to be done on transparent stock like Gloom cards or the assorted spell effect templates given out a few years ago by the RPGA.
It would be very nice to be able to add scenery to the existing Flip Mats without having to draw it in or put down something on a non-matching background.
transparencies for spell effects and decor would make a fantastic set of cards, and would offer so much usage when combined with the flipmats. That's a great idea.
Well, transparent playing cards are out there, so it's not unprecedented, and the price makes me think that it's feasible for the GameMastery line.
That would be a very, very cool product indeed. Much more useful than the dungeon tiles with items on them, which are a PITA to transport and find.
I'd buy it!
