As there were already two cards included with the character addon deck - i dont believe that additionally 5 NEW promo cards do come with the adv deck 2 at once.
[edit: adv. deck 2 promo card is already shipped and it is not one of that 5].
So now we got already knowledge of 2+5=7 promo cards of 9 total...
[Edit: 2+1+5=8 ... Only one promo card unrevealed!!]
This cant be legal!
How can this be?
And the guy got 3 copies of EACH unreleased promo card!
Vic, could you please explain the promo card distribution model and how this could happen? Please...
Too many to be con promos no? Usually only one is released. Seems like a retailer maybe got a hold of them? Or a distributor?
Hot topic!
Glad I spotted these!
This ruins the complete monthly release model, right?
Someone is about to suffer from some Wrath of the Righteous, if you know what I mean!........
What I mean is Vic & co are about to send a nasty cease and desist message
Doesn't ruin anything, it merely spoils the cards for a small fraction of the PACG gaming population that is playing WotR and actually reads this post.
And 19.99 USD for one unreleased promo card is really expensive!
I bet these promo cards are ALL sold within the next HOUR!
You could tell everbody... Hey, i got something you dont got right now :-p
The same thing happens with the minis promos. Odds are, someone in China who's somewhere in the manufacturing line stuffs a couple in his pocket and takes them home to sell on Ebay. My guess is there's not much Paizo can do about it, unless they think it's worth the trouble to make an issue of it with their manufacturers.
Hey Vic, I'm thinking these really shouldn't be up on eBay at this time. Con Promos?
Con promo is temptation of the big die.

But the ebay seller is located in L.A., CA! Not china!
Also the cards aren't printed in China anymore.
I guess then the cards are printed in L.A., CA ;-))))
The blessing is the one promo card which is mostly viewed per hour according to ebay - 11 times per hour...
Hopefully the blessing will.not be released with AD6, but much earlier so you coukd use it frequently.

I guess that's one reason I don't mind being so behind with the game; my fiancee and I just started AD3 of S&S last night. By the time we finish the rest of S&S, the Season of the Shackles, and the B adventures, I expect we'll have gotten all the promos. :)

Especially with the extra advertisement here. ;)
Is it possible they are fake?
Could Paizo change its planned promo card set still right now? Or are all promo cards already shipped to the distributers?
Well I guess my question is how hard would it be to make fake cards and call them promos
Producing fake cards would be very illegal!
Selling promo cards before their actual release date is pretty nasty!

Eugh, sucks to see stuff like this happen. It happens with PFS boons all too often.
So, thanks Vic + ACG folks for (another) fantastic nod to something I wrote for PFS!
Ebay auctions were ended by the seller... I think he got an email from Vic ;-)
Grump. This should not be possible.

Minor pet peeve on one of the cards...
** spoiler omitted **
Nah, that's intentional. It's what happens when goblins name things.
Maybe it is really a sting operation to find the people who are buying the illegal promo cards.

None of the 5 cards was sold in the narrow time window they were up on ebay for sale!

The only good thing of this leakage is:
Even if the blessing is going to be released in AD6 (not enough playtime to use it frequently), you could already proxy it starting with AD1 ;-)
Awesome, Vic. Glad to see you were able to find the perpetrator.
