What's Next For Memento Mori?
Added 2020-10-28 11:38:00 +0000 UTCHi Patreons!
I wanted to give you a little update about what I am working on for Memento Mori (besides the podcast).
So, this deck has been the most fun I've had since I began Black and the Moon, and I really want to keep that momentum and enjoyment going, so I will be introducing Expansion Packs sometime between now and January (barring delays).
Basically these are packs of 20-40 additional cards for Memento Mori. Some will be just general additions with no theme, while others will be heavily themed.
For example:
General Expansion Pack: a mix of animals, tools, witchcraft items, etc, just like the classic Memento Mori deck. It will contain cards 86 onwards.
Ancestors & Advisors Pack: familial cards and different pronoun cards.
Vampire Slayer Pack: everything the Victorian vampire hunter could possibly need.
Timing Pack: times of day, months, weeks - you get the idea.
FAQ:
1. Isn't this just like Oracle of Oddities?
No. Oddities is three small decks that sort of HAD to all be purchased to make a big enough deck. Memento Mori on the other hand is complete as is. The expansions are totally optional.
2. Is Memento Mori being retired?
No. Memento Mori will continue to be sold indefinitely. Expansions will only be available at certain times of the year.
3. How do we buy expansions?
Because I work out of my tiny apartment, I don't have unlimited storage. What this mean is, expansions will only be open for purchase 1-2 times a year. No extras will be printed, so in order to get one, you have to participate in the pre-order, or wait until the next round.
4. Will expansions be retired or limited edition?
No. This depends on how they perform of course, but I hope to keep them going as long as they are wanted.
5. What's happening with Oddities?
I have been trying for years to retire Oddities, but keep getting hate about it. I am hoping I can FINALLY phase it out in 2021.
6. Will Patreons get a discount?
Yes, Patreons will get a certain fixed amount off the price AND be bumped ahead of the shipping line.
7. Can we suggest cards?
I am ALWAYS open to suggestions. The beauty of oracle decks is they are built on community. If I don't think something works, I just won't add it.
And, you never know, you could end up an Easter egg in a card ;).
Let me know what you think below! I'll do my best to answer any questions ASAP.
