[QUOTE="Queen_Dopplepopolis, post: 2363907, member: 14323"] In the last game that I played in, we first encountered the deck when it came to us in a dream. In game, it wasn't so much a talking deck as a very appealing entity. It had some bad effects, but was mostly balanced out by the good effects. All in all - the first appearance of the deck was a good thing. So good that - one evening when things seemed to have taken a turn for the worse - we happened to utilize a Wish to wish it back. It took the DM a while to decide if the deck could be summoned with a Wish. He decided that it could. It was bad. Really bad. If it weren't for the smart thinking of another player, the campaign would have been totally different - the deck brought about more Wishes. More Wishes brought about an army of Angels... the army of Angels brought with them an army of Demons (they were, afterall, engaged in an eternal battle, can't have one without the other). What was a "turn for the worse," and potential the of the world as we knew it quickly became "the end of the world - period" (or at least something very similar to it). Ahhhh yes - the deck is a wonderful thing. [/QUOTE]
