Okay sounds good to me re: the allies.I've had a chance to look over the new decks and they look fantastic. I like the new instructions for cards 1/54 and 54/54. It was a great addition to the deck. Thank you for making them.
Some other cards jumped out at me as being especially worthy of kudos:
5/54 - During my Internet research I discovered the original Ravenloft module had Fortune cards that changed the goals of the adventure. It might be a fun idea to riff on a one-off "Madame Eva Presents..." deck that has her proposing boons, curses, and quests for the heroes.
25/54 - The acolyte instructions blend nicely with the game mechanics of monster whacking. I'll keep this in mind for future decks. For example, Drizzt and his companions might need to kill Orcs, etc.
30/54 - The map idea is well executed on this card.
44/54 - Thanks for selecting this card idea. I was trying to come up with something to help the vampires since there were a lot of anti-vampire cards in the deck and "Interview with a Vampire" came to mind.
46/54 - Excellent use of the game mechanics to incorporate the "surprised" instructions I initially suggested.
50/54 - Good job remembering the Ghouls card for the instructions.
Now on to the small list of editing suggestions:
7/54, 8/54, 33/54 - Is it Burgomaster or Burgomeister (German spelling) in the source material?
12/54 - You might want to clarify "If only one villager is lost..." to make it more clear for our ESL players. Just to clarify, players are supposed to get an item as opposed to a Blessing; hence the instructions "gain a Treasure Item (Draw a Treasure Card)"? If that wasn't the intent it could be shortened to "Draw a Treasure card."
17/54 - Probably don't need the () here if you make it separate sentence. "Do not draw any more event cards or visit the store. You may discard the top tile of the Dungeon Tile stack."
29/54 - It might be interesting to say this takes place in lieu of the normal purchase round in the instructions. Basically, it means prices are inflated before the start of the next Adventure because Bildrath is the only game in town. Of course, this could conflict with 31/54....
35/54 - The idea is great but this one reads a little awkward to me. How's this?
"Keep this card. Each time your Hero draws a Monster worth 1 Experience during your next Adventure, immediately discard it and draw another Monster card and keep whatever is revealed."
Hero could be changed to "card holder" if we want to make it even more explicit that only one of the party members has to do this vs. all of the party members.
36/54 - Spacing looks a little strange on the card.
