Probably just to advertise the programmable thermostat.

Also, some card ideas for when Taritus returns:

Two new card types: Artifacts and Megaprojects.

          Artifacts: a dwarf is (X)ed for turns specified on the card. After that, the dwarf is -(X)ed, and the artifact can be used. At the beginning and end, costs are specified: food for the beinning, other for the end.
Two associated cards:
     Possesed Mood: On the next artifact you play this phase, you don't need to pay the food  requirement, and
     Fey Mood: The dwarf that is (X)ed for your next artifact produces one more of any resource it already produces as long as it is on the field

Megaprojects: similar to artifacts in that they are made over a course of time, however they are more powerful, are constructions, and and take many more resources.

Taritus, do you mind if any of us start taking over this thread?

Yeah, except for all the posting on their profile... Maybe they don't operate on a new replies basis...

Anybody want to give him a PM?

"Very Rare Card Pack": There is a chance of getting one of these in each booster. Chance of getting it is equal to rare card. It gives you one of a few booster-specific "Very Rare" cards that are very powerful as well. Second, it would have a (very low) chance of giving you an "Ultra-Rare" card. This is a universal booster pack (there would be only one UR booster set) and would have extremely powerful cards, most of which are forum references: Ironblood, Morul, Cacame, and  Planepacked, just to name a few.

You could also buy a VR or UR pack for an increased price. A VR pack would cost about twice a normal booster and a UR pack would cost 100-150

Deliberately imbalancing the cards sounds like a bad idea to me, as it is the luck of the draw can have people end up with wildly differing amounts of rares...

They shouldn't be game-breaking, but definately a little powerful. Maybe make VR just another type of pack? Just one card for a fairly high price, but it's not in the "meatshield" section.

Bump!
At this point I think that it is reasonable for me to take over card distribution...

Hmmm, actually, I think I'll go ahead and ask for a booster pack and see if this might be interesting. I participated in one of these once on another and it went well until people just kind of vanished, which seems to be the same thing that had been attempting to slay this one- so eh, either way.

But anyway, Yea, 1 booster pack to decide whether I should grab one of the starter decks, or go all out and draw nothing but boosters.

Let's see how interesting this can be...

Oh, gee, um, right, how did that work again...

And yes, This thread died, but some people still seemed interested when it happened, and I think I can safely take over card trading and distribution duties, but if I don't bother to make new cards it could get stale soon...

Well then, I think I got reasonably lucky, at least in that it clearly favors a certain deck personally-

I'll go ahead and take the Dwarf Starter deck with my remaining 40. Anyway, I guess I may as well say I'm open for a match... Hmmm... I'll go ahead and PM you my deck when someone actually accepts that I guess.

As far as new cards go, I'm sure there's enough people on here to suggest more cards. Hell, I could probably do a whole booster by myself if desired. I'm fast enough on new ideas that I suspect I could pull it off. Either way though, mostly just try your hardest I suppose. If it works, it works.

Didn't you already spend your points? Or did Taritus hand out some new points?

meh, I will print out a new booster for you anyway, if you don't have the points then, meh, I will work something out...

*printing, and doing some other stuff*
