Building a better Deck of Many Things

Just use the actual Tarot. Every card has effects, even the individual minor arcanas. There's a difference between each individual swords cards, and they have both a positive and negative.

Between 14 Cups, Swords, Sceptres and Pentacles you should be able to get every effect you want, even if you cut the number of effects (both upright and reversed) down to the regular DoMT

>If it has things like the magic item gifting I'd rather do it as 'a magic sword shimmers into your hands' but THEN the demon that sword belonged to is now angry and looking for it...

>44 effects seems like doubling the problem, because DoMT is 22

Duh guy. That's why you choose TWO tarot card to merge into every one Deck of Many Things card. That way it always does two things. Interpret one in its positive way, and the other in its inverse position bad way.

>basing it actually on the tarot is a thought but 44 effects seems like doubling the problem.
Tarot has only 22 cards in its major arcana, guy what are you talking about?

that's 56 cards he has to think things up for

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the best tarot doesn't have "reverse/flipped/whatev" side, because it is so great. Even the back side acknowledges this by making it asymetrical.

then why is there stuff for inverse meanings?
