[QUOTE="True_Blue, post: 5293940, member: 49066"] I'm not sure how this product would be any deterrent to pirating it. If someone wanted to use these cards in a game, they could just look up on the internet the contents of each one, and put it within an Excel spreadsheet, then assign a number to each one. When they would normally "pick a card", instead they would just roll the appropriate die. Sure the person doesn't have fancy looking cards, but overall its the effect they probably care about, not the flashiness of the cards. Also, I'm not sure everyone wants to keep track of more cards. I will also echo the sentiment that having this as random just doesn't make too much sense to me. The only benefit I can see from it that someone mentioned is that you could buy a pack and then crack it open at the table, which is pretty cool to a certain degree. I'm not sure how often I'd really do that though. Also, having a bunch of these extra cards (doubles, triples, etc), is not desirable in the least. At least with miniatures you usually can find someone who needs an "army" of them. I would much rather just be able to buy a whole set at a time. I will try these out for sure, in some form. It looks like a cool idea overall. I would just rather they aren't random, but not everything is going to be exactly how I want it. I'll work with it and still manage to enjoy the mechanic, even with the downsides. [/QUOTE]
