What will be the... fate... of the fate counters in the next expansion?

By Pinky6, in Talisman

From John Goodenough:

"Most expansions will feature at least a couple of cards with a fate theme. One of the upcoming expansions will take full advantage of the light and dark sides of the fate tokens by introducing new game rules. Dark fate will be easier to replenish but is more treacherous because other players may be able to use it against you. Light fate is more difficult to replenish but it may grant players additional benefits besides just rerolling a die. Like most expansion rules, the new spin on fate is modular so players can choose whether or not they use it in their games. The light and dark sides of fate are aimed at players who desire more interaction with other characters and want to use the tokens for more powerful effects. Just imagine being able to force a player to roll a 1 result at the Enchantress!"

There have been a few comments already, but what do you all think we can expect in the next expansion regarding fate?

John makes it sound like you can use your dark fate to make other players reroll (presumably just when they don't want to). How might light fate be used to interact with other characters I wonder? Maybe light fate could be paid to avoid a region-wide disaster (without a role) and dark fate won't even help with it?

We only know what John Goodenough said..

I think we must wait a little until we know more...cool.gif

But using a dark fate against a other player who visits the enchantress and forcing him to become a toad sounds not baddemonio.gif
