4. Any chance of expansions for class boards?​

I’d love that. This set leaned into the iconic four—Fighter, Rogue, Wizard, Cleric—and the classic fantasy species. I'd love to see a future product where we show the newer classes, like Barbarian and Warlock. But complex classes mean trickier component design.

9. Okay, but why does ale cost 1 gold piece in the Drunken Dragon tavern?​

So the gold pieces. We didn't want anybody to have to manage a bunch of different denominations. One gold piece is a lot easier to manage than a gold piece and 10 silver pieces and 100 copper pieces and all that. So you just have to pretend that the Drunken Dragon tavern is not extorting you.

Call it inflation, or the ale is just that good.
