So speaks the experienced roleplayer with not much need of another introductory set, YMMV. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Last Unicorn Games did some inspired work with RPGs. Their original production - Aria, Canticle of the Monomyth - still fascinates me in concept, although my Greyhawk campaigns keep me from playing it.As opposed to that, their work on CCGs was deeply flawed. I still play the Dune CCG, but there are many "issues" with that game. Including the worst CCG rulebook ever written. (The second worst I have decided is the Buffy CCG rulebook... oh look, the Buffy CCG was designed by ex-members of LUG!)[OT: Matt - can Shadow Partnership target Dune. Why or why not? <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />]Decipher's a pretty good company. They learn from their mistakes. Compare the Star Trek CCG to the LotR tcg - these are big steps forward.It'll be interesting to see the LotR rpg. I hope Decipher can solve the big problem: presenting meaningful adventure & campaign ideas for the Games Master. It was always something I had trouble with with the old MERP game.Cheers!</blockquote>
