Dungeons & Dragons 4.5e

I guess they couldn’t wait to see how adding CCG elements to Gamma World 7th edition turned out because Wizards is doing the same to D&D.

Heroes always have an edge. Sometimes that edge comes from deep within, and sometimes it shows up in the form of luck, divine intervention, or the whim of some other supernatural and unfathomable force. Early next year, Dungeons & Dragons Fortune Cards: Aspects of Fate debuts to add this optional element to any D&D campaign. Sold in booster packs, D&D Fortune Cards provide minor boosts that help propel the story of every encounter in different and exciting ways. This new element makes a perfect addition to any home campaign, and will also feature prominently in D&D Encounters and other D&D Organized Play programs.
