So Im thinking about picking up the Adversary Decks but I dont like buying things blind. Since Ill probebly pick them up one at a time I was wondering if anyone could point me towards a list of whats included in each of the different ones.
Whats in the Adversary Decks?
What's in them? Gold! Gold I tell ya!
Basically they are cards with some graphics and adversary stats. Easy and portable. You don't have to bookmark a page. They contain many of the sdversaries from both the EotE and AoR CRBs if I am not mistaken. AFB right now. Scum & Villany have thugs, bounty hunters, crime lords, etc. Imperial Personal has stormtroopers et al. And the third one has sundry others. Very handy.
Edited by mouthymercIve read the descriptions in the FFG store but I was hoping someone could provide a more detailed list of which character are in which pack so I can decide which to get first and what sounds interesting.
Wasn't asked for, but I figured I'd include it anyways for the curious: here's what a card looks like.

I bought all three, but to be honest, I haven't opened them yet
They're a good deal for $7 each, though. I see specialization decks as basically worthless (IMHO,of course), and I was hesitant about the adversary decks, since I usually just print up encounters ahead of time with my GM Tools. But I bought the adversary decks anyway because I think they'd come in handy for ad-hoc encounters. Plus, they're pretty ![]()
And now I'm kicking myself. I just went to my FLGS the other day, and I forgot I had bought the adversary decks. I was planning on getting card sleeves before I used them. Doh!
As a GM, it would be perfect if they released a vehicle deck as well, so I didn't have to flip between the vehicle and pilot profiles.
I use them every session when i need a quick NPC equal or similar to what im looking for. IT has it all right there.
THey took at the NPCs in the back of the core book and gave them a card with a nice picture.
I don't use mine often, but it is nice to have them handy when I need stats on the fly for an NPC

If you do, make sure you get clear sleeves, rather than art sleeves. There's actually printing on both sides, including descriptions of talents and other abilities.
