A lot of the fun of playing that deck was to try to get into the 'Timescape' to get a bunch of ridiculous SF weaponry and mutations and then get back onto the Tolkienesque main quest board. As well as the official Games Workshop stock decks and expansions, he and his brother had handmade additional cards and encounters stolen from comics like 2000AD and films like 'Terminator' and 'Monty Python and the Holy Grail'. HoF reminds me of the battered old copy of the 1st edition Games Workshop 'Talisman' that one of my old housemates had owned since he was small. That's about the only way I can see them improving the format. >The developer Morgan wrote an article about how he wanted a HoF sequel to be if one ever was made and mentioned different eras such as cowboys, space and whatnot. Not sure how everyone else feels, but Hand of Fate 3 would be an instant buy for me.
HAND OF FATE SERIES
If anything, the series should keep going assuming you guys still got good material to use. The game could delve deep into his backstory and show us his rise to power as the dealer, or, we could play as another adventurer, of course, which would also be cool. I was thinking that perhaps the third game could have us play as Valenos (not sure how that would work gameplay and combat wise but the idea sounds interesting).
If the series ended here, it would definitely end on a good note, but there is still so much untapped potential. The story so far has been riveting (whoever does the descriptions and all that is really an immersive writer) and I'd love to see it continue if ideas aren't running short. I love the unique concept behind the two games as well as the lore and the mystical universe it's set in. Personally, I would love to see a third Hand of Fate. I've been searching everywhere, but I haven't seen anything about a third game.
