The Adventure Deck - Q1 2018

Post by Tribe of One »

Hey all, the Savage Rifts site makes use of the Adventure Deck, which if you're not familiar provides some small but significant benefit when played. Novice characters "draw" one card per quarter; More experienced characters can draw and hold one card per rank (Seasoned is two, Veteran is three, etc.) but can still only play one card per quarter. (You can also buy extra cards with EP or get them by being a Patron - those don't count toward the hold limit and can be played at any time.)

The deck can be found here (ignore the "Held By" names):
Adventure Card

Just roll a 1d54 below and look up which card that corresponds to - careful because the numbering is one off from the row numbers in the spreadsheet. Go ahead and post which card(s) you drew below. We'll go first come first serve, so if you get a roll that has already been rolled previously just reroll.
GM Bennies: 7/7
