If the cards were sold seperately, would you buy them? Would your players?

jh

Possibly. I mean that would allow a person to sowly get into the game. Buy the PDFs one at a time, read the setting, rules and what not and then if they like it, get a smal set of dice and try the game some with "note cards" and move on into buying the cards. It would e ore costly overall but I think over a span of few months a person wouldnt feel it so bad and they would get a chance to take the game in bit by bit.

In addition, buying an extra set of cards for the game would be good for anyone from what I understand.

Yes, without a doubt

Yep I sure would. And I think my players would as well. There are a couple of us who are completists. But despite that an extra set of cards or two is just a good idea.

Not only my players, me, too!

I was thinking about this when I was also thinking about the Adventurer's Toolkit.

To be a bit long winded, I was thinking that it is a bit of a pain to have to buy the adventurer's toolkit if the plan is to add more than one player. So if the thinking is that each additional player beyond the the core needs to buy an Adventurer's toolkit, then you have a bunch of repeated, unused stuff after the first kit. By this I mean the career cards and party cards.

I think packs of Basic Action cards would be an ideal way to add on additional players. Really, the core and the toolkit have all the additional stuff you would need with all the counters. Beyond that it is just the additional basic action cards.

Perhaps you could have packs of special action cards and such.

If that was available, I would definitely buy them.

I hate to admit it, but for as long as my group keeps playing, I'll probably buy pretty much whatever they put out. I'd love cards.

Yes they should release the following supplements:

1. Extra talent cards pack with all talents from the core set and Adventurers kit.
2. Extra action cards pack with all action cards from the core set and Adventurers kit.
3. HUGE dice set with the same number of dice that is in the core set
4. NPC/PC standup sets. I like the standups... never used figures, so they are perfect for us.

If we're talking about the cards from the core set, it would really depend on the cost, but I doubt it. I was thinking about getting some more dice to have my own set when I GM and let the players use the other set, but to get enough Challenge and Misfortune, you'd end up buying 4 packs at close to $50, when for $62 you can buy another copy of the whole core set. It is obvious that the dice sets are designed to add more dice to the community pool as characters advance in rank rather than to allow individuals to build their own sets. I fear that even if they did make the cards available, the cost wouldn't make them a smart buy and I don't really need multiples of most of them anyway.

I don't need more copies of the wounds or insanity cards; conditions maybe. As for action cards, an extra set of the melee, ranged, and support cards might be useful. A second set of the spells/invocations not as much. Duplicates of the Talents, probably useful. Dups of the career and party sheets and the career ability cards, not so much. Dups of locations, not at all.

Since they appear to be adding new cards of many types in just about every product they make, a card set would only offer "all" the cards (of whatever type) only until the next expansion is released, then it would be incomplete again. I'm not going to buy two copies of The Gathering Storm just to get multiples of the cards in it and I doubt they would release just the cards from each expansion separately. I'm not interested in buying more cards seperately unless I can get all of them separately, which is highly unlikely.

... those statements pretty much sum up my feelings on the idea. Its a fine idea in theory but it will be either so cost prohibitive that it simply doesn't sell, or the mix of cards are so insufficient that they aren't worth bothering with.

I have no purchased any extra dice for that exact same reason. It might make the dice stretch a little further, but that's all, and I doubt any of my players will buy a set for that exact reason too.

I'm hoping they will shell out for a couple of sets to share between them, so that we can have some GM dice and some player dice of sufficient quantity, but I won't be holding my breath.....

We probably buy each card expansion which really apports something to the game... we are a kind of completist (everything from Arkham Horror! Even dice! )

It depends on the price point, but I'd most likely buy a set of just action cards for the general basic and advanced actions which can be used by any character. Right now my group of 5 plays with a two sets of copied basic actions... and they don't even use all of them - only one have parry, two have dodge and no one uses the block cards at all!

I really don't need a second set of talents or career specific action cards - no use to have to wizards of the same order in my party, now is there? I just hate piles of useless cards anyways!! So if they put out a complete set of all the cards, I couldn't care less about that. I'd rather buy expansions, toolkits, adventures that come with extra new cards than pile multiple copies of the original ones.

Yes, definitely.

The cards from the WFR3 will be sold separetely (or in small packages). The original ones may be lost, or spoiled through the gaming and I'm NOT going to buy and entire set only for a few components.
