Well, maybe in the sequel.

Sorry, there’s no conversation in Card Hunter. It’s just fighting and looting!

A very interesting post.
For some reason it made me think of what one can do on an adventure – will it be just a series of battles or will there be some interactive conversations and/or options?

@mightymushroom – we’ll have real module covers eventually and the art should be relevant to the actual adventure. You might get some clues but the text description is likely to be more useful.

@Jon – I thought that treetop castle looked odd for the scenario you were describing. So can we expect practical clues on the real module covers, or are they meant to be mostly atmospheric?

@Blain – you heal up in between each battle but you can’t buy or sell stuff until you finish up the whole adventure (just like going into a dungeon in Diablo).

@mightymushroom – I have to be honest and tell you that that isn’t the real Black Oaken Heart cover – it’s taken from another module because we don’t have final art for this adventure. As far as I know, there aren’t any spiders or goblins in this forest. However, there are some nasty things other than trees which I’ll talk about in a future diary.

My questions regarding a adventure is how and where does the party heal and sell or buy stuff? Are there special squares to land on or what? I’m more of a role-player and less of a strategist worrying about whats in my deck!

Great stuff! I imagine the Goblin’s Can Opener will be useful against many enemies well above Level 5. It looks like hunting for those rare weapons will really be worth the effort.

You sound pretty well prepared for fighting trees, but is the cover art hinting at anything with the spider and the goblin?
