Anyway it's a little too late for rolling thunder format now. While it's OK
for a totally new game, it's not too good for a game which has already taken
the standard release format. FRPG tried to do it for L5R, and a lot of the
newer players are complaining because the new cards are very much more
available than the the cards from older sets. This causes the newer cards to
be valued less than the cards from 'non-rolling thunder' sets. For totally
new games like Doomtown and LBS this is no problem as all the cards were
released in the rolling thunder format and thus of equal rarity (Rage II, I
understand will have foil inserts, thus adding another rarity I beleive).
