Expansion Update

As much as I appreciate the update, shouldn't this be on the homepage too?

Indeed!
This is BIG news.

I have utmost faith in Ben especially.

I'm not quite clear what is being proposed here. Is the intention to actually print a new expansion, with the development costs borne by the fans? Do you have approval from the license-holders to do this?

Or is this going to be more of a situation where you publish a PDF online, the cards become legal for play in VEKN-sanctioned events, and folks are responsible for printing their own proxies? (Obviously the former is preferable, but the latter seems far simpler...)

Is there any thought of shifting to a print-on-demand model here, or selling this in fixed-set bundles like FFG's Living Card Games?

I've often thought that, given CCP's focus on being a company that sells electronic assets, not physical ones, a print-on-demand model might be ideal for them.

CCP no longer has anything to do with VTES. That's the whole point of this expansion.
It would likely be illegal to print the set and distribute it.

It's barely legal to create stuff with Wizards's Deckmaster IP and make it a PDF fan expansion, but that flies a lot further under the radar.

If zero dollars profit is made from such an endeavor, I'm sure it'll be ignored regardless of the legality.

I didn't see an answer to the important question: is it the intention that the set be legal in VEKN tournaments?

Good question but think about it: VEKN is producing the expansion...
