Gehenna is upon us and the BIG expansion on the horizon. The link says May 5. So what's with 120 cards in the set? Last I checked, this is not a big expansion. Maybe because of monetary reasons they had to...in that case...I should be grateful theirs an expansion at all. I just don't like being lied to. But considering that White Wolf said they would never have Gehenna happen in the first place, I guess this is just par for the course.

[ quoted text not captured ] Maybe being smaller will mean uniform high quality in the expansion, less filler cards. I thought the "Anthelios" preview of Gehenna cards was interesting. If many of the Gehenna cards are that far-reaching, the expansion may change the game more than its size at first suggests. Do you think the limit will be on the number of Gehenna cards you can play or on the number you can put in a deck?

Looking at the previous sets (FN CE and BH) the amount of new cards in at least CE and FN weren't that many but it did manage to change the game somewhat. Blood Line was a good example of small sets changing the game so I wouldn't asume that small sets bring small changes just wait and see.
