| Everyone when they register for the championship receives 3 sets of desert of desolation stat cards, one of night below, one of unhallowed, and one of all-stars. Very nice. However I figure I don't really need them, so they are up at auction already. Adam | |

| Are the Desert of Desolation (or the others) ones specfically marked on the back as Gencon?
The ones from D&D Experience were marked as "D&D Experience Promotional Card". | |

| I wish they would make these available to the general DDM playing public.
It seems if they are already printing them, it wouldn't be a lot of problem to print these out for the ones that want them. | |

| | The desert cards are not marked as promo, they have the art for the mini on the back of the cards. The other sets had something different on the back, but being at work now I can't look to see. | |

| Glad they made them. If any of you were wondering what to get me for christmas.....
Seriously, I hope they make them available to those of us incapable of attending Gencon, and not just via the eBay re-sale ambush prices of today. | |

| I wouldn't mind it at all to trade for them.
But I want to see if PAX has some of the same first.

| Unfortunately:
From the Friday Gencon summary on WotC website. Will we see printed stat cards for the re-statted sets?
Printed card decks were given out to Championship players for the currently-released older sets, but there are no plans to make such printed sets available as for-sale products. | |

Meh, they'll probably be giveing them away at a lot of conventions.

I do think they make for great swag for con goers though. Like to see more float through the promo path so everyone gets more, but complete sets for cons seems like a winner. Might evendrop teh ebay rice down if it keeps ongoing :)

The ones from Gencon were also marked as DNDXP Promo? I know the ones from DNDXP were marked as such. | |

| | Apparently the Desert of Desolation cards from Gencon ARE marked as "D&D Experience 2008 Promo" on the back. They are not different than the ones from D&D XP and are apparently leftovers? | |
