Gamma World Booster Card
"So, the game comes with 80 cards for the GM which includes a full selection of these things. Plus we are going to create an entire deck of booster cards. 120 card set of booster cards, that will be sold 8 cards to a booster pack. Cost is $3.99 a pack."



I what to make a comparison with the Adventure's Vault. They really are kind of the same. A bunch of useful stuff for the game a printed on paper for reference.
So, if the the cards were entrys in a book? Asumming the card is 2.5 X 3.5? 9 entries to a page = 13.3 pages. OR only 5 to a page = 24 pages.
FOR $60.oo!
I suppose the cards might be fun, but not that fun.

4 bucks for 8 cards seems ridiculously expensive for me. The fact that they are random, so youre going to end up with tons of duplicates that you won't use trying to find one that you want, makes it even more ridiculous.

Its not worth it to have options in a group-oriented RPG, IMO. I will have a full set of index cards once they reveal the text on the boosters though...
