Obviously the most important question here..... How is this going to affect Mafia.?

Pretty sure Ozle is offering to mod Dominion: Adventures Mafia!

Actually, quite a few of the card names would go well as Mafia titles.

Really? You aren't excited to see which cards will be previewed or to read the blurbs? I'm still pretty stoked.
Man. Do I have to find old jokes to put in these? I did not write hilarious previews. I got in, I previewed, I got out.

You don't need jokes, necessarily. I enjoyed the Hinterlands, Dark Ages, and Guilds previews. Just do whatever you usually do. The previews are interesting in the same way the secret histories are interesting.

I'm looking forward to what new types of beards we will see.

On my mockups, I count over 20 beards. I'm guessing the actual set will have fewer, but who knows.

Hey, I'm just a spectator, man.  I'm just worried about humidor-style complaints when the world #1 changes over an Adventures card.

Well, think of it this way. Would you prefer that some of the set's playtesters have a short-lived advantage online, or that the new cards are all so similar to existing ones that there is no such advantage?

Is there any evidence for the expansion being online any time close to the physical release?
I don't think the new version will be done by then, and I doubt they'll implement it into the old one.

What I'm looking forward to most is people's reactions when they see how right/wrong their guesses have been.  And there have been some quite accurate guesses on here.

That's true, Adventures online will postdate the new version by at least a few weeks, which in turn will postdate Adventures irl by at least a few weeks. So people who play irl have some time period to get in games and discuss cards and so playtester advantage seems like it can be safely ignored.

I'm surprised no one mentioned the "new card smell" for this. Does everyone play primarily online now?

This expansion is printed by Hasbro, and I have heard that they do not smell as nice.

The end of playtesters being smartypants.  :P

Man, my mind keeps coming back to this, I'm so bad a reading into +1s on the forums... is there actual resentment here or just snarky envy? Should I be apologizing for something?

I've been thinking about it too, and I don't think there's a need for an actual apology.
It probably just went a little bit too far and started annoying people.
The best apologies for any behavior is to do it differently next time.

Sorry Donald, you have to make another expansion so jsh can behave this time.

I upvoted that post and I know for my part that it's just snarky envy.

I used "smartypants" to convey that no actual ill feelings were had.

I mean sometimes it was a bit annoying, but man if I knew about all these cool new cards I would want to talk about them too, and there really aren't that many channels to do so.

Also, it is well-known that snark gives you loads of respect around these parts.

hmmm, i started this in this thread and I don't actually have any envy or annoyance......

But then Donald has already told me in private whats happening next with Dominion so technically I am a step ahead (without knowing this one)

I dunno, man. Maybe it gives you loads of respect but the only way it seems I can get respect around here is by posting articles, or actually working hard to put some kind of video or something together. You people with your one-liners that make message of the week is just something I can't do.

Wait, seriously?  You're not actually joking?  Hasbro, the toy company without a soul, is printing the American edition of Dominion: Adventures?

Hasbro, who also own Wizards of the Coast, producers of Magic: the Gathering, Dungeons and Dragons, etc. And I have head some very nice thing about the smell from opening a pack of Magic cards, FWIW (I am actually being entirely serious and not joking here, though I'm not entirely sure that the people who said those things were not themselves joking whilst doing so).

Yes, the smell of new Magic cards is absolutely amazing and I'm not joking.

Bomb, Cannon, and many of the Gunpowder cards can strongly effect gameplay, particularly in a destructive way

Just keep trying! I know it can be demoralizing at first to post beautifully constructed witty oneliners, and see them flop spectacularly. Don't let it stop you! Maybe try some simples jokes for a while, or wildly off-base ones that you don't feel that confortable with, change the board from time to time... Soon you'll see how you get a better grasp of what works and what doesn't. If you persevere, you could be on top of the leaderboard by the end of the year!

Have you considered going towards a more cat gif direction?  Or maybe something in the puppy or otter family?
