Whatever they're going to be called, what do you think is going to be in the monthly expansion boxes? My entirely baseless speculation:
1 Dynasty card per clan
1 Conflict card per clan
6 Misc - mix of Dynasty, Conflict, maybe a Province
That's 20 cards! And it allows for a good mix of everything, keeping every player interested and invested (in more ways than one).
Also, what do you think they're going to be called? Netrunner's are "Data Packs", but I don't know about the other LCGs.
They said they will be named Dynasty packs.
It's already been announced that they'll be called Dynasty Packs.
As for composition, Thrones has shown it can vary from pack to pack - sometimes it'll be two Characters, for example.
I speculate they will contain cards and a fiction insert.

I know both Lord of the Rings and Arkham Horror have space for an entire scenario (and sometimes a short story about a new character), so this is certainly possible! Maybe this time around I'll actually be able to stay on top of the story!

In last Cycle of Conquest there were story inserts in blisters as well.

I for one barely had a grasp on the old L5R story outside of what was in rule books, flavor text, and the Clan War novels. I'm only reading all the old fiction now. Part of it for me was intimidation, and feeling like so much story had happened before I started that trying to follow it would be impossible. I look forward to following anew from the beginning.
I think over each arc (run of 6 packs) each clan will have equal dynasty and conflict cards but it may vary within each individual pack.
I expect, by the end of each cycle, every faction should have at least three new Conflict cards and three new Dynasty cards

My guess would be to double that. I'd expect on average each clan will get a dynasty and conflict card in each dynasty pack. That would still leave six slots for neutrals/strongholds/holdings.
Whatever it ends up being, I'm excited to open those first dynasty packs to find out!

They're going to surprise everybody. The very first Dynasty Pack will have 10 new Dynasty cards and 10 new Conflict cards for Ratlings! No one will see it coming!
Edit: Wrong thread.
Based on Thrones, I would also think a lot of dynasty packs will be at least somewhat thematic. A handful of clans my receive the bulk of new cards for a single pack, or all the clans might get new cards support one or two themes like scout or magistrate.

Yeah, I guess I was kind of underestimating. What you have seems about right.

And the back of the box will be a Nezumi stronghold, like back in the day!

I hope it is, but you aren't allowed to play with it. It is just there to taunt you.
As long as I can use the packaging as a stronghold...
What?

WAAAAAY back, AEG would print strongholds ON THE CARD BOX. My very first stronghold was cut off the box, not an actual card in its own right. Which is why personalities you could buy with only the gold on your stronghold were called "boxable".

It would be kind of funny if they brought this back for Dynasty packs. Have a new Stronghold for each clan be on the back of different ones. Drive everyone nuts.

Yes. I know.
Maybe FFG can bring back mon-backed strongholds as promos.
I think it will be 60 cards, per chapter pack but not every Clan will have cards in each pack. We might get cards for 2-4 clans, probably tied to which clans are prominent in the story line at that time.
There will be fiction inserts which the cards in the set will address. Not sure what else at this time.
Oh man, this talk about promos makes me regret getting rid of the massive grip 'o Koku I had.
In AGoT 2.0, what do their packs look like?

Just mail it to FFG.

2 cards for each faction. 4 Neutral cards.
No obvious pattern to card type. I suspect dynasty packs will be similar.
