That settles it then... I am going to try to find a reasonably priced copy very soon. I am curious how it might handle genres beyond default fantasy, especially horror. If I ever get that far, and have time to delve deeper into designing something for the horror genre I will share with those interested.<br /><br />Thanks,<br /><br />ShaneShane Mangushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03865733072718219138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-383500061797506831.post-79837206820139655702009-11-01T17:50:42.916-05:002009-11-01T17:50:42.916-05:00Everway was my group's system of choice for se...Everway was my group's system of choice for several years. We used it straight-up to run a variety of fantasy campaigns, and we also adapted it (through rules rewrites and the creation of "custom" tarot decks) to play genre games like Star Wars, Little Fears and superhero gaming.<br /><br />Anyway, it was a great system. Everway's tarot cards as written are great for generic D&D fantasy, especially if you have a mature group that is willing to "go deep" when the cards dictate something truly outrageous.<br /><br />For our genre adaptations, we created custom decks of cards that approximated the good/bad divide of the Everway deck but still left room for genre-specific interpretation. And we got campy with it. Our Star Wars deck had cards like "I Have A Bad Feeling About This" and "These Aren't the Droid You're Looking For" simply because it was awesome, and it fit perfectly with the good/bad concept of the tarot decks.<br /><br />I can't recommend Everway enough. It crops up on ebay pretty frequently, and you would do well to pick up a copy if you can.Patrick W.
