SLightly off topic here I know, but, Dune had the same problem though,
that a lot of people are complaining about with Corpwar..... The first
set got delayed by many months, then the second set came out a lot later
then it was supposed to, now the third set..... will most likely come
out with about the same delay.
Now granted, we don't rely need new cards every month..... (we only think
we do.....) However, when an expansion gets deleyed by more than 4-6
months..... then they're looking at trouble..... Most of the folks I
know who play ccg's started with X-files, stopped when they lost their
liscence. Moved to Dune, dropped that after waiting 4+ months for the
expansion..... plus one of the guys we played with cheated like all get
out..... We then moved to B-5 where they settled, and I went on to
Shadowrun, 'cause I think the genre kicks..... Granted now, I'm hoping
Corp war will have some cards that'll seriously help out my weaker Decker
Decks..... And I'm looking forward to the new toys.....
However, when Card games come out with a new set every month or two, or
coe out with such a huge number of cards..... that kinda puts me off.
Magic has what? 17 expansions? Way to many..... About the only good
thing I had to do with Magic, was buy a few boxes of the first 3
editions, and stash 'em in the back of the closet..... Star Wars,
although a great game, suffers from having to many damn cards, and from
coming out with set after set..... It's nice to have a variety,
but..... Of course, that's not to say Shadowrun is perfect either.....
First run has what 400 +/- cards, with around 110 rares? That's made
it a real pain to complete a set, or even find cards you're specifically
after.....
