Re: [DL] Expanded Mysterious Past List? (was "Hello Again")

[Allan Seyberth <darious@darious.com>]

I used a tarot deck for my game for the Mysterious Pasts.  But I treated 
the pull like a rorshach test, combining the imagery of the card, the 
interpretation of the card, the character and the player to come up with 
something appropriate.

I had one player, playing a mexican bandit, pull a card indicating loyalty 
and maybe glory - he ended up as a peasant hero, chased out of Mexico by 
Maxmillian and the Foreign Legion.  Another player with a huckster drew a 
card with one interpretation of financial ruin and/or the inability to hold 
on to money, so he had horrible luck when gambling and the bigger the 
stakes the bigger the bonus his opponents had to their rolls.
