[QUOTE="O-Castitatis-Lilium, post: 9253928, member: 7044618"] You could probably equate them to the tarokka deck and do something like that? If you want a better understanding of how to really use these cards, I would suggest taking a quick read about the tarot and how they are read and placed. What certain cards can mean, and you could go from there. It might help in using them to determine character backstories, personalities, ideals, bonds flaws, and other such things if you want to use them like that. You could also use these in game as a way to make some gold and to a basic spread if you want. With that, you don't have to know the true meaning of the cards, but it could help. They are a fun prop and if you know how to read them, you can really add a horror/mystery element to your character if you want to go that route. Just so we're clear, don't take the cards serious no matter how you decide to go, some people get really eerie with them and can be slightly put off even though they really aren't anything more than a prop for cold readings lol.
