I’ve just printed and cut out 352 cards and their backs too. My hands and eyes are killing me, my scissors are blunt, and I need to pick up about 400 card sleeves tomorrow! Couple of minor errors here and there, rules need going over with a fine toothed comb/paint roller, but it’s looking sweeeeet. Hopefully post some photos once it’s set up for the first game ever…
Fantasy Flight Games [News] – What Lurks Beyond the Gate The nightmare corpse-city of R’lyeh was built in measureless aeons behind history by the vast, loathsome shapes that seeped down from the dark stars. There lay great Cthulhu and his hordes, hidden in green slimy vaults…

I dispensed with the sepia flavour text card sides this time. I developed this extra long quest a while back, but held off on finishing it until the new Gollum cards arrived, and the Clue mechanic ties into it nicely.I think that this ‘branching paths’ idea is probably something FFG have already considered as there are hints of it in the Mirkwood quest, but I’m not sure how cost effective it would be for them to pursue – people might complain that they’re not getting as many hero/encounter cards instead.
