Has a reprint of Adventures been released yet? I'm still one of those guys who hates the flimsier cards.

No. It is not a good time for me to estimate when it will happen; I'll know more later.

We know that your good at making dominon. The question is whether you are good at Dominion.

What about my good at making Dominion?

I hold my own irl. Now you just need to find out how good those guys are.

I played Donald once: he won. Extrapolate to your liking.

[Tables]

I played Donald once: he won. Extrapolate to your liking.

Very well. If you played Donald at Dominion 100 times in a row, you would have a 100 game losing streak.

I'm not very good at this extrapolation thing

[Witherweaver]

I played Lord Bottington once: I lost.  You can extrapolate.

You need to win the Rats split.

I was reading the flavor text for the base game over dinner last night (as I do) and I noticed that it mentioned 3 of what would become card names in later expansions (Feodum, Minion, Treasury.) Was this in any way intentional? I ask especially for feodum because unlike the others it's a pretty obscure word.

I named Feodum that because it was in the first blurb (which predated it). The others weren't especially intentional; they were good as card names for the same reasons they were good as blurb details.

This is one of those examples of how experience with the cards is significant. I bought up the Gears and put Lost Arts on them. SCSN didn't compete for the Gears; he hadn't seen that combo in action before.

Does that mean we can look forward to names such as:

Fife, Freehold, Petty Lord, Banner and Anarchy?

I compiled a list of card names that need cards.

Any thoughts about a novelization of the game?  Or asking/letting someone else (Brandon Sanderson, etc.) do it?

No, but I'll consider it now. Well. If it doesn't use my jokes then what's the point? If it uses my jokes then I want to be the one writing it. And if I'm the one writing it then it will be something else.

I guess the point would be we'd all buy them and enjoy them?  We've had shared worlds covered by multiple authors for years (remember Dragonlance and Forgotten Realms?), so why not a Dominion world that you define, even write your own first few trilogies set there, and then dozens of fantasy greats could join.

It could be sort of Xanth-y with the jokes, instead of serious.  Wouldn't even need a [serious] in the title.

[Davio]

Which other game captures the essence of Dominion best without being a total ripoff?

I.e.: you can actually admire what someone did with the deckbuilding idea.

I think it should be a love story, and should be written by ADK :/

I'm not seeing it. I don't see what you get other than cashing in on Dominion. Which is better, the best shared world I define, or the best shared world I define that has to involve Dominion?

Those are not the same question.

I haven't played any Dominion-based games except my own. In interviews I always cite Eminent Domain and A Few Acres of Snow as examples of how you can be inspired by Dominion without just cloning it, but I haven't actually played those games.

Eminent Domain is 10% Dominion and 90% Race for the Galaxy.

Eminent Domain is 7--10% Dominion and 90--93% Race for the Galaxy.

Fixed that for you...

[A Drowned Kernel]

I would read a book by Donald X., and I would be more excited for it if I knew that it wasn't Dominion themed. My stupid fanfiction aside, Dominion doesn't have a coherent story or a fleshed-out world behind it. A Dominion novel would just be a story set in a generic medieval fantasy world with a few Dominion references thrown in.

Nah, it's more like 70% Dominion/30% Race.

It's more Dominion than people think.
