Buy the card packs!

Absolute power is kinda neat.

Is there any chance the Elven Blood book is gonna be available after the con?

I want that bad, as mission packs are pretty much gold to me, but I will not be at the con, and I want to know if I need to bribe someone to buy me one.

I'm intrigued by the "cards" idea.  As a GM, I like the idea of the vehicle/drone stat cards, because it means that I can pick out the cards I'd use the most and have them available at game time instead of having to write them up beforehand or looking them up at the table.  Guns are probably less useful, since most of the time they can be abstracted by type. 

What I'd like to see the most, though, is a set for typical NPCs (imagine all the various ones from different books on cards!) so I can pull out what I need and have all the info right there w/out looking it up all the time, including (and especially) sprites and spirits.

It makes me sad that they're a convention-only item.

The NPC/contacts cards are definitely on the list of possibilities, for all the reasons you mentioned.

The gun and drone cards are also a player-side tool, and that's probably how I'd use them.

We've had a great response to the cards and they're not even out yet. If they sell as well as we think they will, we'll definitely work to get them into stores.

As a print product, probably not.  Right now this is purely a test run to see what the response is, so I don't believe they were printed in large numbers.  Between the limited run and the low price point, I expect these to sell out at the convention.  (Which would be good for us, because that will show an interest in Missions as a print product :))  If you really want one, your best bet is to find a Swag Sherpa to grab you one.  Sorry! :(

As a PDF, definitely!  The PDF will likely be available not long after Gen Con (A couple months at most, I'd like to wait till the summer cons are over before unleashing these to the public at large).

Also, thanks.  I'm glad you're enjoying the Missions adventures!

Eurowar Antiques gives me new toys to throw at my group, yet still allow them to live.  RBB'74 is a good buy.
