So in short; thank you Mike and Vic for your continued support for this game, and future releases.

In my view the problem with the tray is all about the space wasted to accomodate expansion packs. Does anyone really keep the cards inside the expansion pack boxes, and those boxes inside the main box?

I thought that at first, however your not going to be playing with all the cards at once because of the way it cycles cards in and out. Sure a nice solution would have been to double the storage slots to add space for cards out of play, but then your increasing the box size and it's already a large box. The way I look at it is that these guys actual thought about room for expansion, other games you just have separate boxes (I've even got games where the orignal box isn't big enough to hold the tokens). Only feedback I have about the tray is that it needs to be made out of thicker plastic, I've got a thin tear where the monster cards go due to the thin plastic (and this was the condition the box arrived in).

I just want to add in here, I have just an hour ago received my RotR base set (I only discovered this game in December. After ordering for four different sellers and waiting nearly two months for it to arrive, but that is another story...), so yes I've not played the game yet, and can't really comment from that side of things.

However I've loved watching the live-plays by Grey Elephant Gaming, it's what grabbed my interest in this game (To have a role-play style game where I don't have to be the GM is a god-send!), I've ready the FAQs and updated rule book, and while it is a bit disappointing that the game has needed them, it actually the first one with approx. 1200 different card, and no doubt the lessons learnt will be passed on to the S&S set.
