Hey guys, I'm pretty new to the game, but I'm loving it. I just started playing a few weeks ago and realized there's a whole bunch of promo cards that I don't have... If anyone has the Redeemer Fanatic, Young Legacy, America's Greatest Legacy, Horus of Two Horizons, and/or Rook City Wraith I'd be willing to work out a trade, or the like, so that I can complete my set!
If you have any of these promos and would be willing to part with them reply here or send me a PM, whatever works best for you!
Some of these promos are out of print now, but you can print off your own copies of these cards from files provided on boardgamegeek.
This link has a lot of the promos all in one pdf:

Yeah I have all the promos printed glued and laminated. Obviously it is not the ideal solution as I would stab a man in the heart to have the real copies of those cards, but it is the next best thing.
There has been "consideration" / the idea has been kicked around by the publisher to make an expansion pack of all the promos AT THE END of all planned expansions. So my point being, you could get it at that time if you were willing to wait X years for a pack of them all. This of course assumes that the idea to do this is carried out.
Those are the four promo cards that I'm missing as well (due to not discovering Sentinels till after those had been and gone), so if they ever become available I expect I'll try and get 'em so I've got every card in the game. Hopefully the shipping on four little cards over the Atlantic won't be so bad ;).
Thank you to everyone who weighed in. Yeah, printing off a version seems like the best option until a possible reprint. Almost all were available through the kickstarter campaigns of old, so if you got in on the Rook City KS it seems like you could have gotten them all.
It was still possible for 100 quick (and lucky) backers to get all of them except for Young Legacy during the Shattered Timelines Kickstarter... and Young Legacy made an appearance at the last Jack Vasel Memorial Auction on BGG.
So while not very likely at all, it IS possible that some might pop up somewhere. Just gotta keep eyes open and hope alive.
I thought you guys might like these...
Each card is a front and back printed on card stock, so it's very sturdy and snaps like a real card. Obviously some of the backs have a clipping issue where a bit of white shows, but all in all they will do nicely until I get the real things.
Oh, and I used a bit of creative freedome with America's Greatest Legacy for his defeated side, using an image from the Iron Legacy deck and the rules text from Young Legacy's card.
That's quite impressive. They almost look like they could be the actual cards!
Greatest Legacy's card will be officially released in October, so you'll be able to get the actual back then. That's if you don't get the card.
I was almost a jerk. I almost posted pictures of all my actual promos, including the Young Legacy I got from the SotM premiere at GenCon 2011, before I knew I'd care as much as I do now.
But I wasn't a jerk. Almost. :-P
I'm really hoping this happens. I'd love to see like two mini expansions and all the promos in a box set. It'd be super awesome.
My one question would be if when Christopher mentioned this he meant all the sets planned up to then, or planned in total?
Because that could be a BIG diference.
Either way, >G has done an awesome job of bending over backwards to help fans and i'm sure we'll see the promos set eventually.
GtG has already said that there will be a total of 6 expansion. 4 normal, and 2 mega. Vegenace will be the 4th expansion and the first mega.
And the release of the all-promo cards set is not a rumor - it's a plan. They've made public statements to that fact as recently as a couple days ago. The new prints will have different art or otherwise be clearly different from the originals, so the original cards will still be promotional/special, but yeah, functionally identical.
I registered to the site just to find out about the promo card availability.
Print/Play is fine with me for now, though I would buy the reprints.
I'm hoping for "otherwise". By all means mark them clearly as second-runs, but I want the original art. (Well, in most cases; Young Legacy's front side isn't great, but the reverse is too classic to change.)
Sorry to bump this, but, I was just looking up info about Promo cards and found this thread to be extremely helpful. With the announcement of the new Promo cards now, I figure this might be brought up again by people looking for old promo cards, so... I posted.
Anyways, I'm very excited by the prospect of a "promo pack" that'll be purchaseable. I only got SotM a few months ago as part of a Reddit Gifts Board Game Exchange. I've been hooked ever since, and yeah, I'd love to have them all. The print & play model looks good... maybe I'll stop by the office during the holiday break and do some manual art labor. :)
EDIT: I notice a lot of different P&P versions for the promo cards. Any chance of an "official" P&P version?
Yup. This sounds about right.
The only promo I would be looking to trade is a Rook City Wraith that I would trade for a Young Legacy or a Beardy Ra.
I also just got the game recently and have been similarly interested in picking up any of the promos that I can. Having looked at the options (and seen the prices on Ebay), I am just fine printing my own. One thing I was curious about though, will the WW II versions of Legacy and Bunker be available when Vengence comes out or did you have to back the Kickstarter to get those cards?
GI Bunker and Greatest Legacy were available if you pre-ordered Vengeance from the >G store in September. There may be other ways to get them later.
