[QUOTE="half-dragon dragon, post: 4604063, member: 51211"] I've been kinda waffling on whether or not to enter that contest myself. Right now my biggest problem is deciding on a core mechanic, which is primarily my reason for asking about card based RPGs. Even if I don't enter I'm still hoping to work on one anyway, and I'm hoping to make one that, if the need or desire arises, the only things needed to play the game would be familiarity with the rules, some paper for characters and notes, and a deck of cards. Doeas anyone mind elaborating a bit upon how cards are used in Aces and Eights and Castle Falkenstein, particularly in how they relate to the skills and other attributes of the characters? I'm not looking for any great detail, just a bit of a run down would be great. EDIT: Just looked into Aces & Eights and apparently it still uses dice, as far as I could tell from the review I read, the only time cards are used in the main rules is when seeing how a shot deviated from the original target.
