The set is scheduled for release on Dec 1st. That's a month and a half from now. I'm sure some plan will be in place by then. It's good to ask the question now though, and make sure that Dean has planned for it. ;)

I have some ask on gamers and if you dont really understand or want to use kickstarter that is fine.

You can use the donate button on Gamers site (at the bottom of the forums page) There it will use paypal (some people are more comfortable with paypal) From there I will get you what you ordered to you.

Since the recommended mini is not listed on the card, will there be a complete list available of which piece (and from which set) is recommended? The pictured mini is pretty obvious for some, but not everyone would recognize the piece. Just wondering since I haven't seen or just missed an answer to this before.

Love the Phoenix set icon! Looks cool and very apropos.

The plan is to release a full list, once the set list is revealed :)

Dean, here's a question for you....for anyone who wants to do Release events, how do we go about 'ordering' more sets of cards? Or for those of us who donated, if we want 2 sets of cards, how do we get a 2nd set?


Id like to know this as well. i would be interested in getting 1-2 more sets for my playgroup in Racine. most of the remaining players are teens with no job.

Two of us live in the same area and donate ...

How do we have you ship both orders to one of us to save you postage?
We'd like some extra sets for the local kids. How do we add that to the order(s)?

I know I may be getting ahead of myself here, but if somehow, the 500 sets you have printed doesn't settle the demand for cards, will you guys use that when calculating numbers for the next one?

+1
same issue, I don't mind paying for more sets, but if it's already paid for, will I just pay to cover shipping?

Here's a question for yah.

What is the quality of the V-set cards? Will they be the same as the Wizards cards (Print, colors, picture, etc) or is that all copy righted? What is the length, width, and thickness of these cards.
Depending of the Quality, I am very interested in two full sets, how do I go and secure myself for two sets. (I am very happy and willing to pay).

Lets say I buy two sets for a set price, and I am unhappy with the quality or condition my cards are in, will I be able to get a refund (provided I ship them back first). Or am I out of luck?

Thanks for your time.

On Gamers we have some of the actual images of the back of the cards (aka the stats). They are intended to be the same size as regular cards and likely to just be B&W on the front (extra color is much more expensive so I doubt we'll be able to splurge on that but keep color for factions). The front of the cards, I think that image is being kept as a surprise since there hasn't been any mention at all of it. I know the physical quality is going to be from a professional printer so it will be high quality.

The backside is a BW Gamers image - the front side is color, just like the card images we've shown for previews. In fact, those images are the actual card fronts that are being submitted to the printer.

The backside is a cool image that Les made, and it looks really good in BW, as he designed it that way. Sticking to BW on the back for the Gamers logo, saved us 400-500 for the set run as opposed to printing in 4 colors.

The length and width are the same as WotC I believe (although it's obviously possible they could be slightly different as we aren't using WotC's printer obviously). In thickness, I think these are actually slightly thicker - as least that's what I've gathered from Dean's statement that they feel more substantial and less bendy than WotC - but I haven't seen the samples myself.

As for getting yourself 2 sets Trade, please send Dean (on Gamers preferably) a PM with your request - you only have to pay shipping at this point, as the donations already payed for the print run (although you are welcome to contribute more if you want which goes towards shipping for those who can't afford it, creating and mailing prize packages and V-set 2 funds) if you want to contribute more.

Ah, now I see what Jedispyder was getting at. That's cool.
Thanks for the clarification. :)

Haha, yeah it was 2:45am so I was a bit out of it when I posted that and had to rework and paragraph several times and just missed that bit.

I'm assuming they'll still fit into standard card sleeves, correct? So, a little smaller would be ok, but a little bigger would mean you can't store them in a standard card binder/sleeve. Just thought I'd check to be safe. Thanks!

Sorry I never got back to you on this. The graphics designer of the cards has stated they are 2.5 x 3.5 (no clue what WotC was but they should be very similar if not the same).
