Novel, and I can see why they're doing great numbers on their Kickstarter. But... I'd rather not let somebody else decide what my Fireball looks like. Theater of the mind, anyone?

The spells are pretty nifty, but I'm most tempted by the tarot deck-- especially the Fool, just for the animation of the puppy dog's tongue & tail flapping in the breeze.

That is super cool. I'd like to get a set with pictures of my players characters that go from living to dead when I tilt the cards.

Cool, but expensive. And, it is only the SRD cards.

A friend of mine got me the Tarokka high deck cards in these fir Christmas. They’re really cool. I’d love to get a full set of spells, but they’re so expensive and it’s only the SRD spells.

Boy, I'm sure glad the don't illustrate any magical effects in the D&D rulebooks . . . . wait . . .

They certainly are expensive. And that's the main reason I didn't back the Kickstarter, lack of disposable funds (and too much materialistic crap in my house as it is).

But I would hardly criticize these cards based on their cost. I'm sure it ain't cheap to make them, they ARE super-cool, and they are an optional accessory for the game. I feel they are very appropriately priced.

I also wouldn't criticize them as SRD only spells. Without a license from WotC, which would make these even more expensive, the SRD spells are the only ones they can do!

They don't in older editions or games like C&C. But hey, I can see the appeal. It's just not for me.
