Decks of Destiny wants
 
Things I'd like to see in DoD.

Tollenkar’s 21 megahex laboratory, or at least specialized megahexes that allow for this to be laid out including workbenches, the pentagram, etc.

Storeroom megahexes with a clear row of hexes down the middle and shelves on both sides.

Megahex wide stairways.

Four skill point modifier cards for Wizards. The basic Wizard card has four spells (or four points of talents) specially marked off so this can be overridden by another card to give her a sword talent, or Alertness, or UC II, etc.

It is too late for most requests to affect Decks of Destiny -- Steve has been working on the project for months -- but feel free to post wishes. We review threads like this and are sometimes inspired when working on new projects.

Don't we already have those (on the reverse of the existing megahexes)?

Yep! In the Legacy Edition box.

So that's what those evenly spaced lines are. Sorry, just wasn't clear to me.

One thing that seems to be in some demand is a PDF table listing all the talents and spells.

For talents the columns would be something like:
Name
IQ level
skill points(*- not doubled for wizards)
Requirements(other talents, learn from thieves, etc)
Typical rolls or short note (3/IQ to notice any ambush)

For spells the columns would be something like:
Name
IQ level
Fatigue cost (cast/continue)
Requirements(other spells, wizards only, etc)
Magic item cost
Brief description

One of the new pocket folders created as a part of the Adventures Kickstarter lists spells and talents. The Adventures book is still available as a part of the Hexagram preorders:

A question for Phil perhaps?

One of the ideas for DoD is a set of Options cards. But, there are many threads here about whether RAW on Options are actually what's intended.

To pick just one example, you can't Defend against a jab in RAW.

Some of these discussions go back to the announcement of TFT Legacy, and there's even a new one today. So this is an ongoing issue, although at your request most of this discussion was moved to House Rules, or simply abandoned.

But assuming the Options cards come out exactly mirroring the current RAW, some of these oddities will become more obvious. There's a decent chance the cards might raise more questions than they answer. Is there a constructive way we can feedback info on the Options rules or cards at this point?

You're free to start a separate thread if you wish. The cards are created, are not _exact_ matches for the options as printed in the Legacy Edition game, but we'll certainly consider any suggestions before printing the cards.

Will talents be mentioned on the options cards?

I.e.: If the character has both Weapon Expertise and Two Weapons the attacker must roll six dice against DX to hit him through this Defend option.
