GF9 is updating the D&D 5E SPELL CARDS

The spellbook cards from Gale Force 9 were generally positively received, but they did have their fair share of criticism. Gale Force 9 has heard that criticism, and is updating the cards. The new ones have rounded corners, and a concentration notation, which were the two main complaints about the cards. These new cards should be headed to stores right about now. Finally, tow missing spells have been added, and small add-on packs will contain archetype cards. (Thanks to Jeremy for the scoop).

Here's GF9 on the new cards:

Hey everyone,

The new versions of the cards should be making their way to stores now.

To answer some of your questions, These cards will have a large C (in a coloured diamond) in the duration field to denote spells that require concentration.

The easiest way to identify the new cards also relates to one of the issues people had, the sharp corners. The updated cards will have lovely rounded corners on them.

In regards to ritual tags, you'll find that ritual spells have always been labelled as such. On each card, directly underneath the spell's name, is a line that reads, "1st-level divination (ritual)" to use Detect Magic as an example.

Finally, the two spells that were missing (Destructive wave for Paladins, and Mislead for Arcane casters) have been put back in their rightful place.

And in some exciting news. We've heard the complaints from people who are disappointed that archetype cards are missing from the decks (Light Cleric's Fireball etc.) so we are currently looking at ways that we can produce small, add-on packs that will contain these cards.

Yeah, but did they fill in the spell descriptions for cards with long descriptions instead of just showing "reference page XX of the PHB"

Sounds like nice changes, but same as above, I want to know if they've added all relevant info to the card itself. Referencing the PHB defeats the purpose, IMO. Don't need a word-for-word description of the spell, but all important info would be nice.

Despite the above (valid) criticisms, I think it's great they listened to complaints and fixed those issues in the newer print run.

Not so great for those of us who bought all of the earlier cards (since we have a PC wizard, bard, paladin, cleric, and NPC druid in the party). :lol:

And I wouldn't be interested in buying from a company that did not listen to the valid complaints of its customer base and did not fix issues in newer print runs. I don't consider this special service, I consider this business as usual service (not that everyone does it).
