A Card Reading

[Dr.Bedlam]

 NICHOLAS, DUKE OF NOMADS

SYMBOLISM: Craftiness, ambition, facial tattoos
When reversed, do NOT give money to panhandlers today. When upright, today is a good day to look for treasure in the usual locations, particularly Hot Topic and your favorite hobby shop, but NOT used bookstores; to a Nomad, a book is something you use to level a table with one short leg.
QUOTE: "I have something in which you may be interested..."

 PIFFLE, FOOL OF DRAGONLORDS

SYMBOLISM: Humor, fun, sheltered idiocy
When reversed, do NOT get into arguments online, and stay away from the comments sections. When upright, it's a good day to do something fun, but as always, avoid teh stoopidz unless you have a higher level of protection than most of us, who are bogged down with consequences.
QUOTE: "I say, I say, I say!"

[Dr.Bedlam]

 GAFF, FOOL OF WARRIORS

 

SYMBOLISM: Things not being as they seem
When reversed, expect to be dealing with someone who is difficult to deal with. When upright, expect to deal with someone who means to take advantage.
QUOTE: "Watch the red card, watch the red card..."

 

 

 THE RUNESWORD

 

SYMBOLISM: Strength, advantage, opportunity
When reversed, do NOT get into it with anyone who is armed. Otherwise, it's a good omen.
QUOTE: Pick any good Clint Eastwood meme.

I admit nothing.

 ALPHEUS, COUNT OF NOMADS

 

SYMBOLISM: Versimilitude, exactitude, funny hats
When reversed, just give up trying to get anything exact. When upright, the time is right to complete work on SCA garb or paint the eyes on miniatures.
QUOTE: "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."

 MORGAN, BARON OF DRUIDS

SYMBOLISM: Dignity unaware of flaws, halitosis
When reversed, turn around, go back to the bathroom, check your appearance carefully, reapply deodorant, and brush your teeth. Otherwise, it's a good omen.
QUOTE: "What? What is it?"

I used to have a deck of these cards!  Wish I still did, for the art if nothing else.

Art credit to Bob Pepper, who also did the amazing Dark Tower board game.

I had one of those as well.  It was the first game I had that was easily solo played.

[paintybeard]

They are hilarious. Does anyone still make them?

[Erifnogard]

Dragonmaster is long out of print but there is apparently a similar game called Indulgence currently available.

 URSULA, QUEEN OF WARRIORS

 

SYMBOLISM: Empowerment, horns, hairstyling
When reversed, make SURE you tip the waitress and remember the respect. Seriously. You'll be glad you did.
QUOTE: "Well behaved women seldom make history."

 

 

 BASIL, KING OF DRAGONLORDS

 

SYMBOLISM: Authority, regality, possibly the gout
When reversed, make sure you're eating a balanced diet and getting enough fiber. Upright, it means that today, the players get to EARN it, dagnabbit.
QUOTE: "Klytus, I'm bored. What plaything have you for me today?"

 AURALIA, PRINCESS OF DRAGONLORDS

SYMBOLISM: Self esteem, nice clothes and the fantasy characters who wear enough of them. Patron of SCA garb and renfair outfits.
When reversed, it's a GOOD day for a chainmail bikini or a fur jockstrap! When upright, you feel good enough about yourself to WEAR such things. Sort of like "good hair day," but with clothes...
QUOTE: "Are there shoes with it?"

 

 

 ELDRED, WIZARD OF WARRIORS

 

SYMBOLISM: ALL wizards symbolize magic. This one just also happens to symbolize grumpiness and contradictions.
When reversed, be prepared to be patient and exercise self restraint; the day can still be magical and productive! Upright, you might as well just go back to bed, unless you were HOPING for a day that was argumentative, magical and destructive.
QUOTE: "GET OFF MY [email protected]#%? LAWN! (Fireball!)"

 EDWIN, DUKE OF DRAGONLORDS

SYMBOLISM: Calculated waiting, ambition, and treachery.
When reversed, it's a good day to ask for a raise. Upright, keep your back to the wall, lest your grandmother sneak up on you with a knife in her teeth.
QUOTE: "Of course, your majesty, a SPLENDID idea! (snicker)"

 

 

 DIM, FOOL OF NOMADS

SYMBOLISM: Stupidity. Determined, relentless, stubborn stupidity.
When reversed, expect perseverance to overcome pointless obstacles. Upright, you're going to have to resort to misdirection or sneaking in the back door; someone does NOT want to hear it.
QUOTE: "Fill these out and resubmit, and we'll try to work you in by Tuesday."

[Dr.Bedlam]

 ALEXIS, PRINCE OF NOMADS

 

SYMBOLISM: Youth, enthusiasm, preoccupation with one's looks.
When reversed, be prepared to use guile. Upright, the straightforward approach is the thing to use today.
QUOTE: "I CAN be a Jedi!"

 

 

 POWER PLAY

 

SYMBOLISM: Power.
When reversed, be very careful, lest the whole thing blow up in your face. If upright, the signs are auspicious for catching lightning in a bottle.
QUOTE: "TODAY IS A GLORIOUS DAY FOR SCIENCE! MOOHOOHAHAHAHAHA!"

[Dr.Bedlam]

 THISTLE, FOOL OF DRUIDS

SYMBOLISM: Innocence, music, obliviousness.
