[QUOTE="BlackMoria, post: 2365028, member: 424"] There was a product done during the 1e/2e era that had three variant Decks of Power (I think the product was called 'Decks of Power'). I have it stored away somewhere so I can't recall the manufacturer. The main one was called The Great Deck. What was great about this was it had a complete history of the deck and how to integrate the deck into a campaign. From what I can recall, the deck is encountered in four parts and possession of one section of the deck leads one to the other parts of the deck. And those who possess the other parts of the deck are looking for the PCs' part of the deck. The Great Deck used a 72 card Tarot Deck - and each card could be displayed upright or upside down to determine the results, meaning that there was 144 possible outcomes. No instant death sort of cards but there was 72 'misfortune' outcomes and 72 'good' outcomes with the orientation of the card indicating if card was 'misfortune' or 'good'. A very nifty product, as I recall. This thread has kindled a desire in me to tear apart my boxes of stored gaming material to find that supplement and use it in a campaign again (haven't used it in many, many years) [/QUOTE]
