[QUOTE="Treebore, post: 6028898, member: 10177"] I think for me to actually use these cards over my Monster books they would have to have a nice picture on one side, and ALL of the info I need on the other. Otherwise I will keep doing just fine with the book(s) and my mini's. The appealing advantage of the cards, for me, will be to pull out what I need for my planned encounters and random encounter tables. Making them far easier to carry than however many monster books I would otherwise pull them from. The added bonus would be an additional visual aid for my players, in addition to the mini/token/Pog's I likely have as well. The price point is definitely going to be tricky, because if I decide it is too high, which is highly possible since I already have the info in books, as well as some form of mini, I won't buy them. So its hard to say if I will even end up buying these, since I see their use beyond what I already own to be pretty marginal. I say this because I bought a ton of the Paizo item cards, and my players used them for a brief time before they got tired of them. However, I make use of the NPC cards on a regular basis, so can see myself using Monster cards in a similar manner, and most importantly, as often, if not even more often. Especially if they have all the info I need for them, so won't need my books. So its not exactly easy for me to predict how much I would actually use them, and there fore find them worth the money in the first place. [/QUOTE]
