[QUOTE="TheYeti1775, post: 5294001, member: 20914"] Thinking about it some. Yes DDM would have been the better comparission in my first post than MtG. But another aspect on the cards I could like IF they came in the follow: 1. Random Treasure Pack 2. Random Character Pack 3. Random Encounter Pack 4. Random Adventure Pack This could be tied in with the online tools as well. 1. Random Treasure - The DM could use it as a simple item generator. Tie in would be the item is on the DDI Character Builder to choose from. They could be seperated in various level oriented cards, maybe 5 (1-10); 3 (11-20); 2 (21+) for a split in a 10 pack. 2. Random Character Pack - Again your latest DDI Character Builder could give these characters as bonuses to your monthly update. Whereas the card would be an essentially a stat block for use, the actual DDI file would give you the true meat of him/her. 3&4. Random Encounter/Adventure Pack - Don't they have an Adventure Tool now? I don't keep up with it much. But it could easily follow the same line of having it all ready and built for you on the tools they provide during a monthly update. I can actually see a lot of potential for good from this, as well as the negative that is possible. If it is kept as a seperate accessory product with bonus goodies on the Online Tools side, it could be a good thing. I do like the idea of the climate weather cards for a bit of randomness. While all of us know of tools that do all the above for us now, WotC does have an opportunity to capitalize on this and I don't blame them. I know I would. As was mentioned earlier, making it more edition neutral on the cards (game neutral would be even better for the PF/C&C crowd) would go a long way towards bringing a few of the old customers back in for a few stabs at them. Honestly even though I've yet to buy a 4E book, it doesn't mean I wouldn't pick up an Edition Neutral set like that. Just the same way the old Gazeteers still work just fine in any edition. [/QUOTE]
