[QUOTE="GX.Sigma, post: 6854039, member: 6690511"] Here's what I did: Low Deck: Use Ace thru 10. Swords = Swords (obviously) Coins = Pentacles/Coins (make sure not to accidentally read these as "stars") Stars = Wands (the wizardly connection) Glyphs = Cups (communion wine, I guess?) You could try to match the results with the pictures, but that's too much work for me. High Deck: It didn't make sense to me to simply assign a tarot card to a tarokka card, since the "Strahd's Enemy" and "Strahd's Location" have very different meanings, and I wanted the image on the card to be relevant to the result. So, spoilers: [sblock]Strahd's Enemy: Artifact = Fool (the toymaker and the bard both seem like fools, and both try to fool you) Beast = Moon (the werewolf) Broken One = Hanged Man (the mad mage or the cleric whose "sanity [I]hangs[/I] by a thread") Darklord = Devil (obv) Donjon = Tower (obv) Seer = Magician (the elf wizard) Ghost = Knight of Swords (the revenant paladin or the phantom knight) Executioner = King of Swords (Ismark, warrior and heir) Horseman = Death (the assassin) Innocent = Sun (the mother's boy or Ireena, both pure-hearted) Marionette = Hermit (the doll or the mongrelman, both lonely) Mists = Queen of Swords (Ezmerelda is a badass) Raven = King of Cups (the leader of the winery) Tempter = Star (there's a girl on it I guess?) Strahd's Location: Artifact = Sun (chapel) Beast = King of Cups (representing Strahd as ruler; throne) Broken One = Knight of Swords (representing Sergei; Sergei's tomb) Darklord = Devil (representing Strahd as monster; Strahd's Tomb) Donjon = Death (hall of bones) Seer = Magician (study) Ghost = King of Swords (representing Barov; the father's tomb) Executioner = Hanged Man (overlook; for bonus points have Strahd hanging off the edge like a bat) Horseman = Hermit (representing Strahd as victim; Strahd's tomb) Innocent = Moon ("brother of light snuffed out;" Sergei's tomb) Marionette = Tower (tower) Mists = Fool (no clue) Raven = Queen of Swords (representing Ravenovia; the mother's tomb) Tempter = Star (beautiful woman hiding great wealth; treasury)[/sblock] [/QUOTE]
