[QUOTE="Dire Human, post: 4291025, member: 57504"] If I were a guy like me, and I am, I'd change the game so that you'd have equal numbers of Element and Twist cards (4/4, say), but you could play an additional Element in place of (or including someone else's) Twist. For example: Player 1: "I play the Church Element card. The Church or Moradin is a powerful force in the nation, driving much of the politics and even going so far as to declaring war on enemies of the state from time to time." Player 2: "Well, I'm playing the Fire Element card with your church. Let's see... Oh, I've got it, they have a strong association with forges. In fact, in those holy wars they manufacture their own weapons, and bless them primarily with holy fire-type spells and enchantments and stuff." Player 3: "OK, my turn? Alright, I've got the Oppression Twist card, so I'm going to make your Church a bit overbearing when it comes to daily life. And, hell, why not; there's an inquisition going on at the time." Or, let's go the other way with it! Player 1: "I play the Church Element card. On top of a harsh and twisting road in this mountain, there's a temple that trains first-level Clerics and Monks equally. It's an equal-opportunity monastery, I guess." Player 2: (laughs) "Well, I'm playing the Fire Element card with your church. Your 'mountain' is now a volcano, and it ties in with the training. Hot coals, tightropes over lava pits, that sort of thing; a literal Training from Hell, you know?" Player 3: "Alright, I've got the Oppression Twist card. Let's see... The reason so many Monks and Clerics and stuff need to be trained is that the volcano's a breeding ground for Red Dragons that secretly run the monastery, and every year they either need tribute or sacrifices. So former students return to bring back treasure from adventuring or evil people they've captured that deserve to be eaten." [/QUOTE]
