[QUOTE="Achan hiArusa, post: 5422322, member: 2597"] Profit Motive? Sure, they are a company, if they don't make a profit they fold. So they have every right to make a product they think will sell. And collectable cards sell. Just not to me. They've been doing this with 3e through the RPGA, so it's the next logical step. I like cards, I've been in games that use the old Whimsy Cards to good effect and I've played Torg before and the drama deck is awesome. What bothers me is that they will be collectable with commons and rares. It will be up to DM to make sure that there are no game breakers in a deck and as sure as anything once they make them there will be a banned card list just like with MTG, I have faith. The old Saga system cards weren't collectable, the deck was a standard deck with each game. They were used instead of dice for random rolls with a fifth suite that spelled misfortune for the players. And they had auras which could be used for divinatory purposes if the DM was stuck during a game. And yes WoTC started out with "The Primal Order", "Ars Magica", and "Talislanta". When they started putting out Magic The Gathering and then dumped all their RPGs people accused them of destroying roleplaying not knowing they were going to buy TSR. [/QUOTE]
