This is fine by me. The time delay don't matter much.
I play RotR in a Group, we are currently playing deck 4.
Solo play with 3 character is what I do most of the time. I have played through RotR 3 times.
SS once, found the ship-hopping-from-location-to-location rule silly. Won't play that ever again.
My favorite is WotR. Better story, and finally difficult enough to make it a real challenge.
I play the Seasons as well. Better than the original stories because of more space to tell the story. Season of the Righteous is best since the story is a parallell story to the original story.
So I'm really looking forward to a season using Cards fro RotR, with a more fleshed out story. Also looking forward to more Class Decks.
I buy everything related to this game, so keep it coming. I recommend buying the Iconic Heroes boxes. Great to play with the minis and there are special cards for each hero included.
