MFA Printing Proposal; Lets See If There is Enough Support to Make it Happen

In that post Banstylejbo had informed me that to make the cards printable they would have to be converted to the new template that DCN was created on, which can be done. But to make it worth the effort in time and energy to convert the set there would have to be enough support and interest in the printing of the set. So just like Deadfool before me with the DCN set i'm asking the community to see if there is the same interest in MFA (the first of the council approved sets) as there was in DCN and DLL for printing. If this is successful a MWZ printing could possibly be done down the road. The Details So taken from Deadfool's Post on DCN (to save my poor fingers from all that typing and because he did such a great job ) here is the low down on some of what you can get from the printed sets. THE SET You will receive every card from the set. No need to worry about buying pack after pack and not getting that one card they wanted. You got them all! And I want to add, for a price that is much, much cheaper than some booster boxes go for. Heck, you could get an entire playset (that's 4 of each and every card, as if I had to tell you that) of the complete set for less, that's right, less than the price of what a box of DCL is going for. And you only get 26 rares from a box of DCL. That's because nobody is making a profit on this. The only one that benefits is you with these great cards. The only cost is the actual cost of the printing. THE CARDS We would be going with the 300 weight card stock cut out, and the cards are 2.5x3.5 and will feel just like a playing card. It won’t feel identical to a VS card but it will so close I don't think you'll be disappointed. THE COST OF PRINTING If we can get 120 sets printed (an average 4 sets for 30 people), the price should be around $37.10 per set (or $148.40 per full playset). Please keep in mind that this does not include shipping that will need to be added as well, which will be around $12-$16 for anywhere in the USA, excluding Canada and Hawaii. At first you may say that $160.50/ $164.50 is a lot of money, but please keep in mind you will be getting 1,100 cards which include all 110 rares! All of them, not some, all! How many boxes of booster packs would you have to buy to get that? Let's see, 24 multiplied by… carry the 3… A LOT! Ok, so if 4 sets are a lot and you can do 2; it could still work out as long as we make the 120 goal. But you know you want a full playset. WHAT'S NEXT? Glad you asked. It shows you're interested. Well, right now, we are only trying to rally support for the MFA project, so let me know who is interested and how many sets you would want to be put down for. If we get enough interest, then we will move forward with this project and then Banstylejbo will provide further instructions like the finalized prices and where to send him your apportioned printing cost, etc. Please post to this forum if you are interested in being part of the project and the number of sets you would be potentially interested in.

Question/idea: Would it be worthwhile and/or possible to combine Factions and Warzone into one print job? This may entice more players to get on board knowing that there are two sets. It also ensures that both sets get printed and not that we lose players' interest by time the next set comes around.

As before, we'd need in the area of about 26+ players each getting a playset to get costs down to DLL and DCN levels (for a MFA only printing). Also, you can count me in for a playset of course.

Senior Member Posts: 108 Group: Member Member #8,332 Joined: September 1, 2010	i figured we'd just do MFA first instead of making an already tedious task even longer in converting the sets by doing both MFA and MWZ together and just down the road do a MWZ printing but if people are on board and willing to pay the extra that might come from both being printed im definently down Edited by Dellbon, Feb 3 2012, 05:26 AM.

Elite Member Posts: 1,028 Group: Senior Member Member #7,723 Joined: February 20, 2009	It really just depends on how long it takes to convert the files over. It's been awhile since I've looked over MFA (probably not since DLL) and it may need to be dusted off a bit. It would give us the opportunity to update the set with any new conventions or wordings we've begun using in post-MFA sets. As far as I know all the issues regarding power-level and interactions were resolved long ago, but again I'll do another review of the set for anything that seems like it was missed if we're going to be taking it to print.
