TOPIC: 2015 < Final Year for Current Batch of Char. Cards

While recently cleaning up the warehouse, we found a stash of our standard character cards. See pic. This gives us enough character cards to use this design one last time in 2015. Previous plans called for us to re-design the character cards in 2015, but we will wait until 2016 -- so as not to waste these 5 boxes of character cards.

So...one more year. Sorry Barbarian players! I know you have been promised a two-handed damage upgrade. It will be here in 2016.

Always good to use the resources we have first! Looking forward to the redesign process after next year!

Would it cause too much confusion to design the new character cards before gencon?
I was thinking it might be good to have the new character cards ready before the token design next year.

Especially if the new cards are intended to be ready for Whos Yer Con 2016. Assuming there will be TD at WYC ins 2016.

Don't forget to set aside character cards for WYC.

It might be a good idea to do the re-design before Gen Con Indy 2015. We could maybe try them out with a few True Grind runs -- and then make some tweaks right after Gen Con Indy. This way they would be finalized before the 2016 token design begins.

Thoughts?

Sounds like a good plan.

Sounds good.

Given the full runs and small convention nature of WYC it might be a great early proving grounds for the characters.

I'll suggest giving the Wizards the current Cantrip design of 4th/5th edition where they have a standard non-magical weapon damage (4/6) that's at will, no charges.

Maybe do 1 Cantrip that's 2/4 damage auto hit and one that's build into the dial like the monk that's 1/2/3/4/5/6 and requires a slide?

*just suggestions*

This sounds like a great plan. I like that this story arc finishes with the same character cards and then the new story arc in 2016 gets new character cards.

Also, like the development prior to GENCON so they are done before next years token development.

Sounds like a good plan. We'll just have to all make sure we say that the design process is for 2016 about a million times in the thread. If we don't someone is SURE to ask where the new cards are at GC 2015

Okay, that' #1.

Sounds good to me Jeff.

Any thoughts on increasing the character levels? (Just curious)
