I had to return some of them because they were 2nd printing, and order some 1st printings from the other side of the world. I sleeved everything and got the Broken Token tray.
<p>So the game cost me $350.</p>
<p>But you know what? I finished it last week after a month of play and loved it. I will dip my toes in Skull & Shackles for a week or two but will go back soon for a second campaign of Rise of the Runelords while waiting for Skull & Shackles to get complete. I have thousands of dollars of RPG books that never got opened, so I'm pretty happy with the cost-to-fun ratio of the Pathfinder Adventure Card Game.</p>
<p>Oh, and I'm pretty happy I didn't attempt to track down promo cards for this release, as that would have been, by your definition, ridiculous!</p>Orbis Orboros wrote:Yeah... I have a problem.

I love to have the options. I also ordered a few Ranzak extra to give to people I know buy the game without promos.</p>
<p>Furthermore, I can say that shipping a Poog via e-bay from the US to Europe easily double the cost. But so worth it :)</p>Yep, I ordered all class decks. I love to have the options. I also ordered a few Ranzak extra to give to people I know buy the game without promos.

<p>1) I think there must be a way to use the cards in a way that increases the narrative and plot.

2) I like the idea of going to an area and encountering area specific monsters/weapons/items that is yet to be captured. viz. When I go to the catacombs I don't like encountering a bunyip. </p>
<p>Perhaps this is not the thread where this post belongs though </blockquote><p>Yes, not really the place for it, I agree. I'm just curious as to the lack of posted custom scenarios. I saw the compilation thread, and that's just variations with the default cards. It's challenging enough to do that, but I just figured I was missing something. If we're spending hundreds on a single game, it just seems like there'd be more creative output for home games especially from this kind of community.
<p>I'll take it elsewhere though! Thanks for checking out my homebrew thread. I will not be deterred by the silence and general lack of "homebrew" over there. ;)</p>Draight wrote:Jonah, after reading your thread on HomeBrew, I was inspired to do something -- but I'm not sure what -- yet.
