"Billed by White Wolf as both a card game and a role playing game, Arcadia never quite caught on with fans of either game format. The cards, square-edged and featuring different images and text on both sides, may easily be mistaken for simple trading-cards by the uninitiated.
The Wyld Hunt was designed to be the first in a trilogy of releases for the Arcadia line. The second installment, King Ironheart's Madness, with a whopping 404 cards, was released at the end of 996 - just as the upheavals following the initial CCG glut led White Wolf to reconsider its plans.
The concluding installment, The Lion's Den, never saw print, but 781 cards is still plenty for a two-release game. Only MLB Showdown in 2000, would come near that mark." - James A. Mishler

Do you have any information or tidbits about what the "The Lion's Den" was going to be about?
Because I have the same CCG books, and that's the only mention of it I can find.
White Wolf's other CCG (Rage) had a unreleased set in development too that also has barely any info on it. But from what I could gather was based around the Project Twilight RPG book supplement for W:tA.
I actually have more info on FRPG's unreleased sets for Rage Across Las Vegas than either The Lion's Den or the Rage: Project Twilight set together. I guess if any of you can get to interview Mike, could you bug him about this?
I really have no idea what the Lion's Den was about. I know that in some White Wolf Changling literature, King David was referred to as "The Lion", but that takes place in our world, not in Arcadia.
I had assumed that the new set would take place in Skyeholme, since the Road to Skyholme in KIM appears to be able to connect to another league, and the card flavor text briefly mentions that Skyeholme has its own problems. This would make a great setting for an expansion.
I will certainly ask Mike this if I am granted an interview, but so far I have not heard back from White Wolf...
