Not Yet a Gleam

Rise of Otosan Uchi, the final Onyx Year 1 expansion. Never playtested, never sent to rules team, never even uploaded into a PDF format, the set exists mostly as a set of preliminary designs made by a few of the Design Team members in an XML file, based on a rough outline of the story beats the set intended to hit. It's safe to say these cards have never seen the light of day. Occasionally cards have been added by bored or nostalgic designers, but after 8 years, it's less than halfway done.  Calling it an expansion, or anything more than fantasy cards that happened to be created by Design, is pretty generous.

Maybe someday, if only for posterity's sake, we'll get together and finish it. Probably not while entirely sober.

PLEASE PARDON OUR DUST
