Hello usducktape!

Going through everyone's submissions and trying to leave feedback. Here are some thoughts I had:

1. Spooky... nice.

2. For the GM's monster, it might be nice to have a character sheet with things that could be revealed in the glances. Some folk might have problems coming up with those on the spot.

3. Oooo I really like the "everyone knows the order of the deck". It might be nice if the players have to close their eyes while the GM is setting up the deck. That would make it easier for the GM to set up the joker.

4. The Stress is SUPER COOL. Might want to reword the high to low section. Make sure we know 10 is high and Ace is low. Also the Furnishing section! Both of these sections you should be very proud of. It might be cool if the players had to put post-its on the cards to help them remember what the cards represented.

5. Love that the players have to step away on face cards. Thematically very cool.

6. There is the closed eyes bit (the manifestation)! The only thing that kinda bothers me is: the players either will have drawn the right cards or not at this point (slash key cards might not be at the table at the moment). It would be nice if there was a way for the players to have some additional pulls from the river (maybe at the loss of other things already out?) .

Overall, I was surprised. You designed a cool system and used the card deck in a unique and interesting way. Great job!
