(Although this is not how I have thought of it before reading this thread) Each session I deal 2 cards to each player, and they get to keep one. This has allowed them control over a specific plot element, and led to some of the more interesting events in the campaign.  It has also led to some problems.  In general it has worked well as a limited, but exciting way to pass narrative control between DM and players. I'm tearing up the on that allows them to say that one NPC was actually someone else in disguise.  Both times it was used it add the BBEG into an early session combat, unbalancing that fight and thwarting a more exciting planned battle.  In other cases cards have started a plauge (as a complication to players intention) created an underground dwarven city, and allowed the easy addition of a new PC (a Genasi from the elemental chaos)  It also started 2 love affairs and a revolution.<a href="http://www.enworld.org/forum/4e-fan-creations-house-rules/271730-purple-index-cards-fly-setting-plot-collaboration.html" target="_blank">http://www.enworld.org/forum/4e-fan-creations-house-rules/271730-purple-index-cards-fly-setting-plot-collaboration.html</a></blockquote>
