    I'm not surprised. There already exist a Warcraft pen and paper RPG based on the d20 system, so a card game is the next logical step. The paper RPG is actually very good though, so I wouldn't shout "sold out" just yet. I don't like the sound of the game affecting your play ingame though...

      Not only is there already an RPG version of Warcraft, but there are 2 boardgames: A warcraft game based on warcraft 3 which has been out for around a year now, and an upcoming world of warcraft game board game, which is still in development, but looks absolutely insane.

    My favorite MMORPG, a LARP, has had a card game for many years. Hail Eris!

    This is not the greatest sig in the world, no. This is just a tribute.

    Like a virus, they spread through my gaming community. Like a cancer, they grew to crowd out other, healthier pursuits like AD&D, Shadowrun, Starfleet Battles, Gamma World, etc. I stood against the tide only to watch friend after friend fall into the CCG trap. Steve Jackson stabbed me in the back after discontinuing the old hotness Illuminati for the new and busted INWO. And now they threaten WoW? In the immortal words of one of my greatest heroes, "Oh, my valve!"

    Then again, an Arcanite Reaper lottery _would_ be sorta cool...
