player266669 273 Posted August 18, 2014 (edited) Picked up the three adversary decks FFG was selling at GenCon. I like them. The font is predictably small in order to fit some art in, but I was pleasantly surprised to note that along with the names of talents, they included their descriptions, too. This should minimize the need to look anything up. I'm not sure offhand exactly which adversaries the decks cover, though. The packs have 20 cards each and there are three of them, so we have cards for 60 adversaries. All in all, a really nice product.

kaosoe 7,573 Posted August 18, 2014 (edited) I stupidly did not pick any up while I was at the convention. I am kicking myself for that. But I was in a game where the GM ran out of pregens. So he instead handed a few players adversary cards. That was a good idea. Edited August 18, 2014 by kaosoe Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Simon Retold 1,132 Posted August 18, 2014 I find these a whole lot more useful than the Talent cards (which I really believe were a huge marketing mistake). 7 Split Light, bradknowles, Glorious Chief and 4 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Agatheron 657 Posted August 18, 2014 These are going to be VERY useful for me. Quick references, and excellent for on-the-fly games... especially when my crew often goes in directions that are very unexpected. These I will be picking up at the first opportunity when they show up at my FLGS. 1 capnhayes reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the-hypnotoad 46 Posted August 18, 2014 Ok I'm jealous -- what was the expected release timeframe on these decks? Q3 I assume? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RLogue177 1,506 Posted August 18, 2014 I think they were $6.95 or $7.95 a pack. I bought a set as well and they're pretty awesome. Here's hoping they continue to make more of these. 1 capnhayes reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

New Zombie 128 Posted August 21, 2014 Still nothing on the site about these, not even a preview article. Strange... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
strongarm85 90 Posted August 21, 2014 Hell yeah! I'll pick up a set of these! The Assassin Droid looks positively badass. You see I could ever get behind the specialization decks because its way more efficient to just print specialization trees and slap bundle them together with your character sheets.

Ebak 1,465 Posted August 21, 2014 I'm curious if these are new adversaries/NPCs or just from the books. Either way I will be picking up all three decks! Just curious if there is anything new in them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

player266669 273 Posted August 25, 2014 I can put up the full list of which cards are included, if anyone wants it. It seemed to me the adversaries were from the existing books. I don't recall seeing anything new. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dr Lucky 1,045 Posted August 25, 2014 I didn't even realize they were selling these at GenCon! I'm kicking myself for not asking my buddy to pick them up. These look great! 1 GM Hooly reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
That Blasted Samophlange 6,923 Posted August 25, 2014 The best thing is they are seemingly branded as a univrrsal rpg product, like the dice are now, rather than for a specific game such as Edge of the Empire. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Orlandun 9 Posted August 25, 2014 These sound super useful. I get sick of fumbling through notes and books to keep checking stats and abilities. So much better to be able to have them right in front of me during an encounter. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
