D&D 5E Book of Many Things overview.

Rogue/Fate/Sage/Knight is a cool way to reframe the thief/cleric/wizard/fighter idea. Gonna use that for something.

If you preorder you get the dice of many things that flips cards onto your character sheet.

I have always loved using cards in my games.....I still have the despair cards from an old Ravenloft product (I think that's the name and source). We used critical miss and hit decks before, and I like a lot of the ideas in the book so far. Creative.

I could see a Bard that uses cards to randomly give inspiration or effects.....I mean, I can see an entire class build on using cards.

Like the Huckster from Dead Lands? Essentially they are Warlock of the Fiend with a Card Pact .

Dead Lands is a Old West RPG with the supernatural mixed in. Hucksters are magic users who figured out how to use magic from secrets hidden in Hoyle's Book of Cards. Their spells are powered by "demons" referred to as Manitous with a deck of cards used as a focus for the magic.
