Maybe after a certain amount of time passes and you devise a new special "thanks for supporting us!" goodie, perhaps the fate deck can be turned into a download? Though I'd rather pay for nice professionally printed and cut cards, I'd rather have them than not should you decide to no longer supply them.

So it will not be very easy here in Europe to get hold of a Fate Deck :'(

We'll definately be finding away to make the cards more available.

Right now they are actually printed on plastic so they're really durable, though not cheap, as they'd retail for about $20-25.

Two more questions after a few plays:

Turns/Rounds:

Do we have turns? I understand, that you only dice ones for initiative. So if player A wins the initiative he activates/nominates a figure then player B, then A again than B and so on. That is clear to us with an equal number of figures per side.

Example: Player A has 3 figures and player B has 6 figures - after  3 alternating nominations player A is finished, but player B has
3 figures left.
Question: Must player A wait with his next nomination until player B nominates his last 3 figures?
              Means both sides must finish with all his figures before a next round starts?

Psychology:

Example: In one turn cultist A sees a friendly figure die within 5" and he is then the last model of his faction in play.
Question: Must cultist A one psychology test or two?

Hey Loki,

I'll answer your second question first: Yes! It is possible to make several in one turn. In the case of the example one test for seeing a friendly model die within 5' and then a second test as he is last man standing...You could get around taking the second test by going face down or face up after failing the first test... ;)

Looks like you have the turns a bit wrong thou...In your turn you may nominate a figure, this figure takes two actions and play is handed over to your opponent...after your opponent goes you do not have to nominate a different model until they have all been used, you can nominate the same figure if you want. You will want to utilize the Command ability to make games less 2 dimensional. With Command you can nominate an additional models in your turn. So, for example: In my turn I nominate my Character who has Command...he will nominate two agents...now I have three models that get two actions each on my turn. Models that come with command are as follows: Threshold Character, Cult Leader, High Priest, Mummy, Serpentman Demigogue and a few others that will be in the expansion. So, to clarify: a player never has to use all his figures before the next turn starts. Hope that helps...
