This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Which systems use playing cards?

That's right, it uses cards for character gen, spellcasting, and initiative.

Quote from: brettmb;1101888If I remember correctly, this uses special cards.

I just checked. The author was my first ever customer.

Both.

Special cards for combat and Tarot cards for chargen.

Quote from: brettmb;1101893But again, I'm pretty sure the original poster was just asking about regular playing cards, not custom cards.

Precisely, regular playing cards; not special card-sets designed specifically for the game.

Quote from: Armchair Gamer;1101887Someone retrocloned and OGLed the SAGA Rules System (Dragonlance: Fifth Age, Marvel Super Heroes 1998)? How did I not know about this?!

I don't believe it's a retroclone or even copy. I believe the name is purely coincidental. I believe this is an original work.

   The stat spread is identical to DL5A accounting for some name changes, and the resolution system and trump rules are straight out of SAGA. More an 'homage' than a straight clone, perhaps.

I wasn't familiar with SAGA. Interesting. The two games I have look fun, but I haven't kicked the tires on them yet.
