[QUOTE="rushlight, post: 2364214, member: 3801"] I introduced a deck in a previous campaign. It didn't kill it, but it did cause some hurt feelings. Basically, the PCs were your standard goodie types, out to save the world. Late one night, while the players were out on the streets alone, a hooded man approached them. He offered a chance at amazing riches with "some risk" to personal life and property. Clearly, this character was shady, and the deal was not intended to be benificial. I wondered what my valient heroes out to save the world would do. Would they remain noble, and turn down the offer? After all, if they perished, the world would likely be doomed. Would their greed take over? Would they essentially gamble with the fates of millions for a chance at personal reward? Naturally, they chose the latter. :\ Anyway, first draw nets a player a wish. Next, the paladin's soul gets banished to hell. Followed quickly by someone drawing Death. Under the rules, the character must fight Death - and if any other characters get involved, another Death arrives. Three characters ended up killing three Deaths, so that was a wash. Another character - the wizard - lost his closest friend. Which was his familar. The little froggy jumped out of his pocket and hopped away! By the end, the party had only gained pain and suffering. They were totally unsatisfied, and questioned why I would introduce such a dangerous object for them to play with. Of course, they learned that day that the world isn't their plaything, and they should watch what they do - for there are concequences. After some lengthy persuasion, the character with the wish agreed to wish for the location of the paladin's soul, so that the party could go and retrive him. If I ever introduce another deck, I'm sure my players will flee in the other direction! [/QUOTE]
