[I/we had a blast with it. I found images of the cards online, and used some of my wife's scrapbooking tools to put cool backing on them, round the edges, etc. made it look like a real deck. I put them in an old wooden box, and placed it on the table. Mayhem promptly ensued..!]Now to the crux of my post.  Two of my players [gnome wild sorcerer and dwarven evocation wizard] each drew the Flames card: "A powerful devil becomes your enemy. The devil seeks your ruin and plagues your life, savoring your suffering before attempting to slay you."  The problem is, my normally devious mind has drawn a near complete blank as to how to invoke this enmity.  I don't want to just repeat something from the past, I want it to be truly memorable...  ...and since I have two players that need some powerful sufferin', I come to the awesome ENWorld community for some much needed dastardly advice...</blockquote>
