Is there a way to get emailed or otherwise notified when somebody replies to your post (like this one)?

Likewise, is there a way to get notified of replies to somebody else's threads?

Looking for something like the BGG notification system or what other forums have where they can email you when there is a reply.

I'll try to remember to come back here and check for answers, thanks! :)

I know the FAQ is coming (how do we find out when it is released?) and I wanted to make sure card timing is addressed.

From what I can gather, you can play any card at any time to affect any player unless the cards says otherwise. The exception is that once a player enters an encounter your options are more limited. During an encounter, you and other players can only play cards that effect the actual check(s) involved.

For example, the Sleep spell says "Discard this card to evade a monster whose highest difficulty to defeat is 10 or lower.". You can't play this to allow another player to evade a monster because that player already entered an encounter and this card doesn't impact the check.

The Heal spell, on the other hand, says "Reveal this card and choose a character at your location. Shuffle 1d4+1 random cards from his discard pile into his deck, then discard this card.". This can be played at any time to heal any player except it can't be played during an encounter because, again, it doesn't affect the check.

The Detect Magic spell ("Discard this card to examine the top card of your location deck. If the card is a blessing or has the Magic trait, you may immediately encounter it; otherwise, return it to the top of the deck.") can be played during another player's turn as long as they are not doing a check. But the card you draw is the one at *your* location. This card overrules the general rule of not being able to have an encounter on another player's turn.
