I know The Wheel of Time had its own CCG back in the day, but would anyone be interested in a Living Card Game based on the property? Themes of reincarnation, destiny, and the Wheel turning could lead to some compelling gameplay, in FFG's talented hands. I also feel the tone of this series is sufficiently different from that of AGoT, W:I, and LotR that it could be successful.

Yes. Totally. It's a very good idea, the series has a lot of fans, and there is not much material available around. Very good call, sir!

How would it work? Are you thinking something along the lines of LotR, or each player having light and shadow decks like Star Wars?

Either that, or each player plays both light and shadow, a la the previous LotR game by Decipher.

I wonder if it would be judged to be too close to their other epic fantasy LCG.

That would be fantastic. And I would most certainly buy it.

I love the series, but would only go into a co-op one, as I have no partner for non co-op LCGs.
Btw, loved the old Middle Earth: The Wizards game by ICE, and collected it for fun, but never had anyone to play it with. Co-op LCGs (and games generally) are way easier to draw people to.

I'd be all over it if I could play a deck base around braid tugging and dress straightening.

I burned out on the series around Book 7. Nothing like reading 800 pages of crap where the story doesn't move forward at all to kill the buzz! However, I still love the setting and would be all about an LCG, and even a second go at an RPG (though I don't know if there's a substantial enough audience for the latter).

Same here, I think I read part of book 8 and just realized that he was just milking it.

I eventually persevered through to the end. Honestly I'm not sure it was worth it, despite it being finished by a much better author (Brandon Sanderson). Although the quality of the books does pick up again after book 10, it never got as good again as the early books were. The ending felt rushed, and somewhat forced.

All that said, I do think there's enough material there that a decent LCG/RPG could be made from it, provided the Jordan estate is interested in licensing the material.
