and many twists for cards already listed in the set.
Thanks again to everyone who's written in; although some changes have
occurred to the cards, I'm keeping them linked to the person who
originally proposed the card.
Currently the set stands at about 75 cards. A few interesting themes
have opened up; everything seems to be in sets of three or four -- the
three Bahos and Feathers (of which one has yet to debut); the four
Kivas and the four 'seasonal' Objectives. The Challenges still need to
be developed (and more on that later, if a certain friend chips in), and
the Runners need a way of grouping together.
Someone mentioned that it seemed terribly North American, which is
rather funny since it started out as an Aztlan/Amazonia mix. To be
honest, though, I hope to touch on the more prevalent Amerindian
cultures in a /generic/ way, with specific cards covering the more
disparate areas.
One of the major currents of the expansion is migrating game mechanics
from one card type to another -- you'll see there are Objectives than
generate nuyen, Contacts that mimic Biotech and Recon, and Mages and
Shamans that don't have the right skills. New Runner types -- namely
Tribal Warriors and Tribal Elders -- are introduced, but so far no new
game 'function' (like Underworld's arrests) is present. More to come on
that.
So, keep on sending in your ideas and suggestions. I appreciate all the
comments I've received so far.
