Exactly enough.

There've been three. :/

It would be a little bit different, because the character mechanics are not at all similar. A past-present-future spread would work pretty well for Fate Core. That would allow you to determine your character's main concept and weakness. When establishing relationships with other players, perhaps...

(First of all, random tarot generators are available online.) I was actually going to mention the tarokka in my OP. I don't see why you can't, but it will take a little imagination. The Tarokka deck has 54 cards, which is more than enough to randomize 12 slots. In many ways, having...

EXAMPLE 2: Using a Flavor Card In this example, I’m using the variant spread to essentially let the cards choose my supporting flavor for me. For my class, I have Eight of Cups. I see the emotional element of cups, and my mind jumps to some sort of divine class. Either cleric or paladin...

EXAMPLE 1: Using a Focus Card In this example, we use a focus card. I choose the King of Wands, because he suits me personally. I like characters with warm personalities, or barring that to be badass mages. Let’s start by looking at the center diamond. The class card is the Ace of Wands...

Step 3: Reference Rulebooks As you collect your impressions from your reading, reference your rulebooks and supplements for additional inspiration. Sometimes flipping through the pages for visual inspiration can be just what you need to decypher an unclear reading. Referencing the rulebook is...

Step 2: The Reading Reflect on your character’s campaign world. Then, starting with the center diamond, look at all the revealed cards and try to discern what they may represent in context of their mechanical slot. Sometimes reading up on the card’s meaning is useful, but other times a...

Step 1: The Spread First, choose from your tarot deck a focus card. This card may be any face card -- or any of the Major Arcana, if you’re feeling adventurous! Place your focus card in the center of your reading area. [If you’re using the variant mentioned below, skip this step.] Shuffle your...

Introduction The thought of using tarot cards to generate characters occurred to me the other day, but Google did not quite find what I was looking for. I wanted a spread that yielded a complete 5e character, and I knew that using the tarot in this way (as opposed to an online text-based...

Makes me wonder what the Upside Down really is. Like, it seems to be its own plane, but there are houses and stuff there[???]. Is it a virtual world ("echo") based off the real world? But if so, would it not have to be made of the same substances for a person to be transposed there? Also, I...

The way Themes are handled here are wonderful. It combines story and mechanics in a way that really brings the character's role in the world's story to light. I think other major story-focused worlds would benefit from this lite-mechanic.

I am very pleased to see Eladrin and Deva crop up! [Did you know that the word 'Eladrin' appears in the 3e SRD?] And I read something in the campaign guide about dragonborn. Are all these races present in all editions of the storyline? Or are some versions more "4th-edition-y" than others?

I've got to say, as a diehard Eberron fan, this campaign has so many things I love and I am so stoked to run it. This document was my first encounter with the storyline, but it seems deliciously cerebral and very well realized. The world's (freaking rad) cosmology made me go "woah." *cue...

I've never been comfortable with the limits of the "core" game. I adore splatbooks and I am a voracious reader of homebrew boards. This works wonderfully, since I mostly DM. When I have a casual player, I ask them what they want to play--and refluff what I can, and scour tomes/homebrew for the...

The movie was fantastic! It really captured an authentic vision of the tract! :D
