Would cards really be that bad?

[QUOTE="Rasyr, post: 2707181, member: 2855"] Adds? Well, for execs, it adds the possibility of increased sales from the cards. And who says this wouldn't make things flow easier and smoother? Hmm... name of Feat written on character sheet, where you have to look Feat up to use it (depending on how complicated it is). OR Feat is on a card, along with the rules for it. No look up, no need to erference anything else? Sounds like the latter is going to allow for smoother play here. The point was that the player's "deck" of cards IS his character sheet, not a supplement to it. What I was postulating was basically replaces the the character sheet. A character deck would also allow for making it much easier to sit down and have a "quick" game as it is more portable than a number of books. With such decks, they could also hold "D&D tournaments" as well, with prizes and such ( a draw, and a way to increase sales over and above the costs of the tournaments). Official adventures would use cards in place of stat blocks within the book. The idea being for the cards to be played by the GM (i.e. put face up on table when PCs encounter it) at the proper time. For games in home settings, they would provide the GMs with instant encounters by combining the proper selection of cards that he wants/needs. Anyways, I was just hypothesizing. :D I never said the idea was a perfect one, just that it was one way they could do what had been previously suggested/talked about in this thread and the last two 4E threads.
