I do not skip games entirely, as sometimes I do not like modifications that are made to future editions, or variations of games. I like to see the development of things, and know why things were changed. Also I sometimes like games that few others do. I still have Wabbit Wampage which from what I can tell TANKED on the market, yet I think is great fun. > > What tarot decks do people use for these games? > > Whatever's lying around.

I collect them, and used to read profesionaly. I am slowly working through the deck I has deciding which to use for this project. I have discounted the "Darker" decks such as Geiger, Crowly, and Necrom, they just seem wrong for the feel of the game so far. I have also decided against any limited edition, or unique decks, as they could not be replaced. This still leaves me more then 150 decks, you can see why I am asking advice.
