Story Cards
A universal RPG that uses specialized deck of cards inspired by astronomical constellations. There are 60 cards¸ numbered 1 through 12 in five suits (Strength¸ Intellect¸ Dexterity¸ Will¸ and Essence). The rules use a tarot-like reading to prompt ideas for characters and adventures. Besides the random reading¸ character stats are open point-based¸ dividing 8¸ 10¸ 12¸ or 20 points (based on the chosen power level) among the 4 attributes as well as skills and powers. Resolution is by drawing a number of cards from the deck equal to appropriate attribute¸ where each card drawn that is of the Essence suit or the suit of the attribute used is a success. Skill adds a number of automatic successes equal to skill level. - A description from https://darkshire.net/jhkim/rpg/encyclopedia/ with kind permission of John H. Kim
