[QUOTE="Orryn Emrys, post: 6004834, member: 6799"] I posted this here because it doesn't really apply to a specific edition, per se, but it is D&D related. I just had a scene in this week's 3.5 D&D session where someone in the party was poking around a gypsy wagon they had acquired and found a hidden floor compartment which contained a small wooden box filled with ivory plaques... Most of my players are veteran D&D players; you should've seen their faces. Particularly since not a single character in the group could possibly have any reason to suspect that the plaques are dangerous. Mind you, that was at the end of the session, and I'm planning on taking them offguard a little. It is an artifact similar to a [i]deck of many things[/i], but I'd like to build an alternative set of results for the cards. One, because it'll throw everyone for a loop; two, because I think the regular old artifact is too swingy and potentially game-breaking for a mid-level campaign; and three, because I've used the [i]deck[/i] before in other games and I'd like to do something different. Has anyone ever seen an alternative set of powers for a [i]deck of many things[/i]? Anyone care to help me build one? [/QUOTE]
