At what time will you post previews each day?
I assume you'll post them here and on BGG, where will you post first?
I'll post them when I get up, which will probably get slightly later as the week progresses. No earlier than 7 AM Pacific time.

I'll post them on BGG first. The image may not show up instantly over here.

Are you already planning an expansion after Adventures?

If there will be an other expansion, will it have some of the new things from Adventures as well (like events)?

I know, right? I can understand asking, but the only way to leave announcements up to Jay is to leave them up to Jay.

If there are more expansions, mechanics from Adventures are fair game. Any given expansion's mechanics wouldn't be at all announced until the little blurb went out though.

You're not going to get real information, so have some fake:

Expansion 10: Modern Times - introduces a board
Expansion 11: Borders - introduces Team play and player abilities
Expansion 12: The catapult - introduces pantomiming, singing and shooting meeples at the supply
Expansion 13: Legacy - A treasure chest with Vp and coin tokens, Potion costs and the good old team cards from "Borders"
Expansion 14: Secrets - Co-created by Klaus Teuber, introduces player elimination, dice and ressources
Expansion 15: Ultimate - Another treasure chest for Dominion's 40th birthday
That's all planned for now.

Is your favorite card from Adventures one of the previewed cards? If so, which card is it and why is it your favorite?

pacovf has a neopets account.  It has 999 hours logged.  All his neopets are named "Jessica".  I guess that must be his ex.

Is your favorite card from Adventures one of the previewed cards? If so, which card is it and why is it your favorite?
For Kingdom cards, this may seem like cheating but I think Page and Peasant are my top two. Page turns into a Treasure Hunter that turns into a Warrior and so on; all that stuff is part of Page. You know? I am looking at the cards, using the metric, which of these am I just buying without thinking about whether or not they will be good. Man, Page and Peasant.

Transmogrify is a top card for me. I wasn't even previewing that; I picked all my previews, then thought of having the extra previews; WW and DG got a choice of two cards to preview, but the other three were previewed by playtesters who just picked the cards they wanted. My previews are trying to show off exciting cards and simple cards and the variety of things the set does, you know. Transmogrify triggers at start of turn like Guide and why not show off three different triggers. Guide was a simpler Reserve card, a good one to preview. Anyway Transmogrify, who doesn't like that.

For Events, probably Inheritance is my favorite. I am all about the craziness. Borrow is a pretty sweet one; sorry about the wording being confusing. It made sense to me at the time. And well there's a rulebook. I knew some people would complain about the art but previewed Borrow anyway.

Was writing the rulebook entries for the individual Adventures cards more of challenge/effort than for Possession?

None of the rulebook FAQs have been especially challenging. You try to think of everything people will ask and then the set comes out and you see how you did. The Possession FAQ is especially long and well you will have to see the rulebook to know how Adventures does by that metric.

In the same way that Possession has a long FAQ that's largely reiterating the point "it's their turn, not yours", I predict that Inheritance has a long FAQ that's mostly "they're still Estates".

Be advised, however, that the discussion is comma use in San Antonio, not Oxford.

Now I'm curious how many people on this forum are old enough to get this reference.

Old enough?  I mean it was initially released in 1945, but haven't they been aired on TV ever since?

If only we lived in a world where people enjoyed media older than themselves. Alas, no-one ever listens to the Beatles anymore.

They aired reruns of Looney Tunes constantly in the 90s.  Not sure about now, but I grew up watching them despite them being 40 years old.

To where RGG is actually located (a suburb of Albuquerque)? It's not an age thing really.

My comment was made firmly tongue-in-cheek.
