[QUOTE="Barendd Nobeard, post: 1349273, member: 960"] The DM of my home game loves it, and has used it with both groups of PCs. Since we all went to another plane and can't get back, we're rolling up new characters and will undoubtedly get it again. Both times, the party was about 7th level. The Deck did not end the game at all, but maybe that's because no one drew anything severely unbalancing. Except once. One person drew the 50,000 xp card, which bumped him up quite a few levels. He was a barbarian, but for various role-play reasons took a few levels of Rogue, which made for an interesting combination. One time, I drew the Moon, and got three wishes. I wasted one wish getting back a PC who drew a bad card (either Donjon or the Void one). Someone else drew Talons and lost all his gear, so I wished all his gear back in return for his Ring of Regeneration (the Deck had changed my PC's alignment to CN). And I used the third wish to get a magic bow, but with the limits on getting an item it wasn't that great (+2 Flaming longbow, I think). I suppose, I could have used the wishes to unbalance the game. But the PC was only CN, not CE. :D [/QUOTE]
