"Go to the sign of Marvel's Axe, a dubious inn on the edge of the Thieves Quarter, in the City of Greyhawk, and look to your own wrist. If you perceive a bracelet and dangling dice, watch for the next throw in the war between Law and Chaos and be prepared to follow the compelling geas." -Signal

Dragon Magazine #148

A noteworthy issue of Dragon Magazine because it includes a prop for the fabled Deck of Many Things. Sorry issue #148 I am now going to talk about the Deck for the rest of the time. If you want to turn a character or campaign in some cases on it's head have the group encounter the Deck. It is the most amazing tool of Chaos ever invented. I even go as far as to say that if a Paladin were to draw from a deck they would need to go the quest route to get back their status. I have a love/hate relationship with the Deck as both a player and a DM. No Donjon, no Donjon...poof!
