I don't see a problem with there being promos for attending events.
Maybe I'll call the Reds Front Office and bitch because I can't go to the next bobble head night and that it's unfair that there's an exclusive for that game and not the game I went to.
Or maybe I'll call Blizzard and see if I can get one of the Promo Packs from Blizz Con because I couldn't make it to that.
Or hell, I was watching G4's coverage of SDCC 08 and there are some pretty cool exclusives there. Maybe if I call the right person....
They're alternate ART cards. They aren't cards you don't already have. They simply have different pictures. Hardly integral to the game. I'm a completist as much as the next guy, but not buying a game because I may not be able to get all of the non-integral alternate art cards? Come on, now....
Aah, there's the lame bout of sarcasm people like you just seem to know I crave. Knew you couldn't resist! Ask a simple, polite question and just wait for this shit to pile in. Board Game Geek, fail me not!
Now that I feel the need to break this can of worms open, first, I did
not say that I would not buy the game based on whether or not there would be exclusive promos. I said I'd have to think carefully about it, and now that I know I
will think carefully about it. I'm not just committing to a game here, I'm now officially committing to spending time and money buying the internet exclusives, many of which I don't want (like the red zombies), so that I can get the cards I want. I stayed away from Battlelore for this exact reason: I knew that there was going to be neverending expansions, promos, etc. That's a little different than this, but only a little. I know in advance that
if there are going to be promos, then I
am going to spend the money to get them. It's just a decision that I wanted to make ahead of time. Really, I only think it's fair.

This is not intended to be a commentary on promo materials; honestly, I just would like to know ahead of time before diving in head first.

Didn't read this part either?

Seriously, what is wrong with people like you?
