<p><b>New page</b></p><div>==About==<br />
* The {{l/same|Author}} creates all the Cards for any given universe (I'm using "universe" to mean e.g. SnowRPG or Fallen London).<br />
* Cards are basically choices (presented to the Player) or events that result from the Player's choices.<br />
* Cards are visually presented as being in a "deck", but this is kind of a misleading metaphor since at any given time only some Cards are available (i.e. those with no restrictions plus those for which the {{l/same|Player}} qualifies at present)<br />
* The Author determines the conditions under which each card may appear (i.e. the qualifications).<br />
* Conditions are generally based on the value of one or more {{l/same|Character}} Qualities at any given moment.<br />
* Cards have a few special Qualities which apply only to them.<br />
<br />
==Card Qualities==<br />
<br />
* '''Discardable''' (on/off): player can get rid of card without playing it<br />
* '''Retainable''' (on/off): if the user's Qualities change so that they no longer qualify for a Card they've been dealt, the Card remains among their choices; it is "grandfathered" in.<br />
* '''Opportunity''' vs. '''Always''':<br />
** An "opportunity" is a card that's in your hand, so one that appears at random if you have the required qualities.<br />
** "Always" cards are cards that are always available (so long as you meet the requirements)</div>Woozle
