The cards look nice, seem well made, and have good information on them. The space to draw a rune in the upper right is really handy. I really want to love these cards, and I was very excited to receive them, but unfortunately there is a pretty big flaw which makes them only ok in my opinion.
The font is tiny. I am not sure what size it is, but it looks like 6 point font. I have good eyesight, and I have to hold them within a foot of my face for them to be readable. There is no way I could read what the power does if the card was on my table. I would have to pick it up and hold it in front of my face to use it. I don't know if that is a printing error or what, but other similar cards from different companies have not had this issue.
I could understand the small font if there was so much text on a power that it wouldn't fit otherwise, but on most of these cards, the font barely fills half, or in some cases, a third of the space. There is a ton of white space that could have been used to allow for larger, more readable text.
I was going to buy set two as well, but I am going to have to think about it now. I will say, that while this is a big issue to me, it is still useful to have those powers on cards, instead of having to dig through the book, or try to cram all of this onto a 1 page character sheet. Hopefully they can work it out and use something more readable in the future.
