Welcome to today's First Edition Friday Question, where you get a chance to answer questions that will help shape the future of First Edition. Today is a question about logistics, but if you'd like to catch up on previous entries, here's a list of all of my previous Friday Questions:
What is your opinion on the "full page" policy?
We've only bent this policy a few times in our history, and most of those were in the earliest days of making new 1E cards. Even when we've made very small expansions, like Warp Pack: Emissary, we've made it so the whole page is relevant (if not actual cards). Recently this policy has come up internally in the context of determining how strictly we need to stick to it. Is this a rule that can't be broken without the highest scrutiny? Or is it a policy that has more ability to be bent?
We can't really answer that questions without knowing what you, as the end users of the products, think about it. So that's why today we're asking your opinion on the "full page" policy? Do you care about wasted paper when printing? Or is it no longer relevant more than a decade into making printable cards?
In the mean time, this weekend is First Weekend, First Edition. If you play 1E, build a 1E deck, or just get together and talk about 1E, tell us about it! Snap a pic or two, post them on our site, on Twitter, or on Facebook and use the hashtag #showusyourspacelines. If you do, you might just win a brand new full-art, borderless promo foil!

25 OCT 2019: What do you want to see in a Halloween set?I assume you clicked on the topic and most of you thought, "what the heck is the 'full page' policy"? Well, as I said above, it has to do with logistics. Our policy is to, as much as we can, produce expansions that use full pages. In most cases, this is why we make expansions in multiples of nine (9) - since nine cards fit on a page, that will allow you to print even pages.
18 OCT 2019: What is your favorite expansion?
11 OCT 2019: Which TNG main character needs a new card?
4 OCT 2019: Which Star Trek story needs more cards?
27 SEP 2019: How many points should [SPOILER] be worth?
20 SEP 2019: Which rules always confuse you?
13 SEP 2019: What do you think of [SPOILER]?
6 SEP 2019: Which card needs an alternate image (AI)?
30 AUG 2019: Which characteristic needs love?
