Is there someplace to find the list of figures that are pictured on the new set cards. Some are obvious but others i'm not so sure.
Thanks

On the very front page of Gamers in the Download section for DotF, there is the Set List which lists the Recommended Mini along with it's set #.

Hopefully next time we can get the recommended mini printed right on the card. That would make life VASTLY easier when trying to sort these guys out.

TBT, writing the recommended mini on the card itself doesn't look aesthetically pleasing. We decided that the set list is the perfect place to keep the mini, so we'll likely keep it up that way.

Good idea. Maybe at the top of the text portion of the card; just before the SAs/FPs, & CEs (new section called "recommended mini"). Can't believe that would look any worse than "Special Abilities" etc.

I personally like having a separate sheet that has the set list on one side and the rules insert on the other. (hint hint)
Of course, I could just print that myself now that everything is available... BlooMilk

I believe that's the eventual intent, but everyone are volunteers here, and with the holidays and everything, it just hasn't gotten finished yet. Patience. :)

And adding the RM to the stat block would be a BAD idea....we already don't have enough space on some of the cards for all of their abilities! :P

Besides, the RM is just the RECOMMENDED mini....so it really doesn't matter that much. Finally, leaving off the name and which set it came from was an additional way for us to avoid any potential WOTC scrutiny.

If you really wanted to consider adding this information probably the best way to handle it would be to place the Set (Abbreviated Form - RS CS, MOTF, etc.) and Set # of the RM under the picture of it (right where Reek/Snowspeeder/Yammosk Say "HUGE BASE" - Which would then be one line below the RM info) I wouldn't bother putting the name of the RM figure as with the card it has a new name anyway.

Well, we don't want to.

One last time, I will post the reasons we are not planning to put the name/set/set # of the recommended mini on the stat cards. You can agree or disagree with them, I don't care, the decision has been made and here is why. Please don't try to argue with me, or tear apart my points one by one, they are all important, and I already understand well the other choices.

1. Helps us avoid WotC copyright issues as much as we can.
2. It's a recommended mini, not required.
3. Card space issues
4. There is already a list compiled that is at least as helpful as putting it on a card.
5. The list helps us in other ways for design, where on the card does nothing.
6. Helps cut down on printing costs.
7. As we get farther into this, RM will mean less and less in some ways.
8. Card designer doesn't like/want the idea.
9. Looks better without it.

Hope that clears it up. I will not post this again, but feel free to link it to anyone who doesn't understand the issues as Lord Ball just did in another thread.

Quick fix:
for those that like having the set # on the card, just make stickers and put them on your own cards.
Done.
