[QUOTE="MatthewJHanson, post: 5442123, member: 13968"] I agree that when I heard about fortune cards, they reminded me of RPGA rewards cards. However I think I'm less excited about them then you are. For a while you could download LFR cards and print them out. Plus with groups I play with, we always share with people who don't bring them. I think Fortune cards will be more unfair, because they are not free (though I suspect most players who have them will be happy to share). You could use the rewards cards in all LFR adventures, and only LFR adventures used rewards cards. I suspect WOTC wants you to use fortune cards for every game, not just events that specifically call for them. I think the RPGA cards have the advantage with "adventures that are written assuming players will be packing cards". This is fair about RPGA, many fortune cards will be [i]intentionally[/i] more powerful than others (i.e. the rare ones). Is that any better? This assumes that the cards will be successful sellers. If instead WOTC prints a bunch of cards that sit on store shelves, then they are out the print/developing costs, with no profit. I want WOTC to make money overall, but I will only give them my money if they make products that I am interested in. From what I have seen, there is no way that I'll be purchasing fortune cards, and most of the people I game with feel the same way. It's possible that I am in the minority here, and fortune cards may be a huge success, but I will not be surprised if fortune cards soon go the way of D&D minis. [/QUOTE]
