Consistent card layouts in future sets

[Steve Geddes]

It's a minor thing, but the reversal of monsters and barriers on the some of the cards is an annoying source of occasional error when dealing out location decks at the start of a scenario. It's quick to grab the monster deck and deal the number of cards shown on the top row to each location, then take the barrier deck and deal the second row, etcetera. Trouble is a handful of the locations list barrier first.

Agreed. And it isn't obvious whether the numbers are still lined up with the correct item in these cases (I read that they are).

[Steve Geddes]

Hmm, I didn't think of that. I also assumed the numbers were also "out of place"

When I asked about the table on the Town Square card, Vic from Paizo said that the rows were right, just in the wrong order:

Cheers. At least I did it right. It's possible I didnt notice the error at least once though.

It's hardly a major thing, but it would be worth tidying up for Curse of the....Whatever is next.

Speaking of card layouts, one suggestion for the card text for monsters. Take the Harpy for example. On the card it says:

Before the encounter, all characters must make a Wisdom 8 check; ... etc.

My first question when reading the card was "Why?"
It became clear when looking at the bestiary and the special abilities of the monster.

So the card text could read:

Captivating Song: Before the encounter, all characters must make a Wisdom 8 check;...etc.

Would give the card a little bit of flavor without taking up too much space.

Cool idea FloMo.
