First, warning since this post has spoilers for the ZEITGEIST adventure path.
These were stretch goals for the Kickstarter, and I wanted to give those out there in TV Land a chance to see and toss us feedback on the contents we're planning.
Act One NPC, Ally, and Treasure Cards
The idea here is to have cards the GM can give to his players to show them what NPCs look like (and we've included a few 'red herring portraits' that GMs might use as the basis for new NPCs with their own personal plot threads), and also to have cards so the players can keep track of allied stats and the powers of their gear.
There will be a total of 120 cards. NPC names will not be listed, so that GMs can reuse them later, and so the 'red herring' portraits won't be obvious to players that these characters are 'unimportant.' Unless people express an intense desire for us to make a different version with the names, there'll just be the one version.
For cards with stats, if we can fit all the stats on one side, then the front will be PF, and the back will be 4e. Some cards will use front and back for PF, requiring a second card front and back for 4e.
Cards will each have a subtle number on the bottom, and we'll include two index cards that list what's on which card. The first xx cards WILL have names, because they're NPCs the party will know about at the start of the campaign.
Cards
* The purpose of the theme cards is not so much to provide a full reference for all the 4e powers they get or abilities the theme feats in PF grant, but mostly just to remind players, "Hey, you've got a thing. Don't forget to use it."
Any suggestions for revisions before I start assembling this for Eric to layout? I could remove the 20 red herring portraits and add in more of the 'non-plot-relevant' magic items. Some of these probably don't end up in the party's hands, at least not long-term, but they might be more useful.
Addendum
I've had an epiphany. We should also make a pack of cards for the various Martial Scientist techniques.
Premium Handouts
And here's the tentative list for what handouts will be in the Premium Handouts pack. There will be 20 sheets in total, each a little smaller than 8.5x11, made of cardstock so they're fairly sturdy. We mostly want these to be props to represent documents the PCs would actually hold, or to be reference items to help the players keep track of the many complicated elements of the campaign, or to be useful game tiles that have mechanics for mini-games and such.
Suggestions and comments are very much appreciated.
