Adding The Skinsaw Murders to the existing base set....

[Mike Vacco]

I have read that you keep all the cards that have been added to the base set when adding new sets....

At any time do you remove "older" cards from the game when adding a new set?

Wouldn't the creatures or item/equipment/Spell decks get diluted with less than desirable cards over time?

This is addressed on the Rise of the Runelords Adventure Path card.

Thanks!

So remove from game basically means remove it from the box permanently or just for the current game?

Just want to be sure.... I'd hate to find out at the end of the campaign we did it wrong!

I just added them in. Makes the game for fun.

Permanently. It's designed to weed out weaker cards as you get more powerful and have access to more powerful cards (required for banes, optional for boons).

Leaving them in does exactly what you pointed out: it dilutes the decks. In the case of boons, it means you're less likely to encounter the more powerful ones. In the case of banes, it makes the game less difficult than its intended to be.

Permanently for that AP with the characters you are playing. If you are playing with different groups you may need to add them back in. (That would mean you might want to track which cards have been removed.)

For example, you would continue to remove the appropriate cards after they have been encountered all the way until the last scenario in Adventure Deck 6. You would not add them back in until you start over or play with another group of players.

Right. Think of the game box as the current state of a campaign (in RPG terms), with "permanent" being relative to that campaign.
