As a relatively new player to the game, I like the approach they have been using, although I thought the Khazad cost was too large for what you got.Nevertheless, it seems to me that given the number of encounter packs out there now, they could either:
Add "expander cards" to each of those sets to increase variety and offset the need for 'every month' issues - accompanying them with additional scenarios, which should be easier to produce.
OR
Enhance interest during a 'slow' development period (I imagine it IS hard to keep up the flow) by increasing the frequency of appearance of on-theme scenarios and / or cards that are more directly in keeping with the story line. While I find the current ones very good, I would like to see some (I hope like the impending Hobbit stand alone) that reflect the literature a bit more.
Just my nickel.
