I also don't think my phonebook joke will be all that inaccurate given that, in addition to detailing FIFTY-EIGHT THINGS that are all at least a bit more complicated than anything in any other expansion, it has to go over the rules for Duration cards again, as well as Reserve cards and the tokens and Events and calling and exchanging...

Plus it's pretty standard for rules to recap "being in play", "when things happen at the same time", "don't shuffle until you need to", etc. It's also possible we'd get a reiteration of the lose track rule. But I imagine the rulebook tries to be as short as it can.

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.

Speaking of that card, should we look forward to any more wacky interactions with Possession and Adventures cards that we haven't seen yet?  I just realized the potential nastiness of playing your opponent's turn with your Haunted Woods in play.  It's not quite the Masq pin but it could lock down the opponent pretty hard.

The set isn't that far off guys.

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

I know people who think the Beatles and Star Wars are overrated..

What do you think of the greatest sci-fi adventure of all time?

I don't see how Doctor Who is related to Star Wars or the Beatles... Am i missing something? Maybe there was an episode where he met the Fab Four that i missed?

Brazil is the best movie ever. I'm not sure it qualifies as an adventure but well there's some adventure in it.

I think i can speak for anyone when i say everybody is looking for Adventures.

Who are the Beatles?

It turns out that Paul McCartney had a band before Wings.

They were famous for never using commas, an idea that Brent Spiner is said to have co-opted for TNG, so that Commander Data never (with one known exception) used contractions.

This was all after he dueted with Kanye though right?

[SwitchedFromStarcraft]

No, this was before Kanye, but after Tony Bennett.

Future Imperfect, where Data's use of a contraction tips off Riker that he's not experiencing reality.

There are actually several exceptions. Several cases in the first season before they establish "Data doesn't use contractions" in Datalore. Also in "In Theory", probably the most notable breaking of the rule by a current-timeline, not-fake Data. And in "All Good Things", an alternate future version of the character uses them.

How long did it take to program the Adventures cards for playtesting on Isotropic?

How long do you think it will take Making Fun to program the cards?

I have no idea how long it takes Doug. I mean I've got my latest changes, there's one new card and two tweaked cards or something. One day the changes appear. It would look the same to me if it took him 10 minutes or three hours.

For MF there are two sides to this, the "back end" and "front end." Different people work on these things. The back end, they were going to start on earlier, because that guy would be available earlier. I don't know if that happened as planned but if it did that work could just be done. The front end, they couldn't start on until the general release of the new version. How long does that take, man, I don't know.
