[QUOTE="gunter uxbridge, post: 556432, member: 7526"] Been there, done that...:) Actually, it was a generic role playing scenario system called Destiny Deck. It was put out about 10 years ago by a small group, but it is really fun. The deck consists of four decks, one with setting suggestions, one with mood suggestions, and one with a challenge. A fourth doubled as a one time use special power or magic item that a PC could use during the game. The DM would pull three cards and have a minute or so to come up with a mini-scenario for the PCs. (These could be really challenging for the DM. An example draw might consist of stopping a natural disaster at a sporting event. The mood is dignified. Depending on the rules you and your players decide on, you might be able to discard one card and redraw.) Individual games could last from a half hour of real time to an hour or whatever you wanted. At the end of the time frame the PCs get sucked into a vortex and off to the next adventure. The cards go to the next player who now becomes the DM, he draws a new set and the game begins anew. Of course, there are other variations of the game. I use my deck from time to time to come up with one the spot adventure ideas if a game has gone off course or just to get the old creative juices flowing. It was one of the best DM tools I ever bought and could be used for fantasy games, science fiction, really anything. I wonder if the deck is still available??? Anyone else ever hear of it?? [/QUOTE]
