..just curious - any hint or sneak preview for "Project Barca"?

Project Barca
What is it: A full sized expansion! The themes are [REDACTED] and [REDACTED] with a bit of [REDACTED] for good measure.
What's going on? The set is finishing pre-production. Rules and Creative got it at the tail end of 2017 and are currently reviewing. Things are getting finalized before we head off to production.
Anticipated release: March 2018.

I'm presuming you won't be at Manassters as there will be spoilage there. Of the card kind, not the food.

We're getting closer to the spoiler flowing, but it's still a little too early to reveal my hand. Aargh, I'm dueling with myself if I should get something out or not.

Tell you what, three pieces have been redacted from my report above; let me know which one you want revealed. It's going to be a long day on my end, so I may be a little late to the game with a response.

Update 4-3-18

This is a rundown of where things are on the Second Edition side in terms of upcoming sets. It will be updated as things happen.

Project Anniversary
In: Design Postponed indefinitely but not scrapped!
What is it: A product celebrating [REDACTED]. There will be [REDACTED] and [REDACTED], similar to [REDACTED].
What's going on: A design team has been formed, but the timing couldn't be worked out for 2017. Currently stalled.

Project Defiance
What is it: A celebration of [REDACTED]. Imagine if [REDACTED] and [REDACTED] had an eighteen card baby.
What's going on? The set is in Production. Proofreading just got their second version of the set.
Anticipated release: Summer 2018.

Project Warp Pack
What is it: A nine card boutique expansion based on [REDACTED]. This is going to be a bottom up set that will appeal to higher level players.
What's going on: The set is in testing.
Anticipated release: Summer 2018.

Project Crixus
What is it: A full expansion whose main themes are Klingons, mirror Bajor and something I'm calling 'mousetraps."
What's going on? Design teams have been made and are designing.
Anticipated Release: Fall/Winter 2018.

Project War Games
What is it: Paired decks meant to go at it against each other. Similar to the Duel Decks found in Magic, these are meant to be epic matchups.
What's going on: A team has been assembled and are figuring out the decks they want to build.
Anticipated release: ? It will depend on if the team wants AIs (which will add months to the release) or new cards (which could easily add six months to the release)

You won't have to wait too long to hear about it. You will have to wait a bit, though.

Though if you're in Germany this weekend, you'll get information a little quicker!

That's not necessary. Look at the date on the update to see when it took place.

Alas, no. I'm in the SF bay area. One of these days I should really try to hook up with some local groups for a game or two.

What do you mean by checking the date? No posted date has been given, I mean I cruise by the front page to see if the new cards have started to debut.

When I make an update on how sets are coming, it's in this thread. To make sure that everyone doesn't feel the need to check it on a daily basis, I'll put the date of the update in the thread title.

Warp Pack!!

Although...wow. Not sure "Warp" is the right term for this, more like the "No" pack. "Access Denied" is the perfect title.

And no interrupts for youuuuuuuuu...
