I have used this deck in a couple of campaigns. It is fun to draw cards and see what mutations people get. I recommend allowing more draws than cards you keep, and also allow for trading if more than one player is drawing for their characters. Trading them is part of the fun.

These cards are for the Deluxe edition. I have tweaked them a bit for my preferences, especially for the campaign that they are being used in, but that in no way reduces the sheer awesomeness of this prduct. It is like watching a movie or TV show, or reading a book. It is very likely that even if yo uare a big fan there is something that you would change, and since this is for a game, I do change it to fit what I want the end result to be.

What I am doing in my current campaign setting is that I have people choose from the table of options that lets them outright choose a number of specific mutations (I hve super powers using something like the Gifted Arcane Background and certain powers require specific mutations). Or they choose fewer, but then get each fewer card translated to 3 draws and 2 cards they keep out of those. They get the Advantage for free, but also get a Minor Disadvantage. They can take the Major and get a point as if for taking Hindrances (but does not count as part of that 4 limit).

3 of 5. The cards are dated now that SWADE has come out. With 52 chances to make 52 different mutations I felt like there seemed to be a number of mutations that were quite similar. I like that each card has hinderances and edges. Using the cards as temporary effects for mutation trappings powers was intriguing but there were no examples of how this would work in game. For example, draw a card from the mind power suit when using a mind power if you critical fail a roll and suffer the hinderance on the card for the duration of the power. If you get a raise on a skill roll draw a card and take the edge from the card for the duration. Add an Arcane Background and a setting rule or two compatibile with SWADE. Make sure the cards reflect the new rules (consequences on Critical Failures instead of 1 on the skill die etc). I love that this set has 4 Jokers and have large numbers and suit for easy reading across a gaming table. I would recommend a lower price point until this is updated. I would also recommend that previous purchasers get a discount for purchasing a new version.

Wish there was an option to add on a tuck box. One that was nicer than my printer could do...I did print and make my own with the PDF and my printer to check it out. I am Glad I got the hard plastic case since there was no option to buy a tuck box. The plasitic case is actually nice, not some cheap thing.

As far as the cards...they are worth giving a 5 Star review. They are awesome. Easy to read suit, have fun and new options on them and the printed cards from DTRPG are good quality. These are now my new main deck.

Glad I bought. Will use them in my Savage Games.

Hi Daniel Thanks for the kind words. :) We wanted to add the tuck box as a print option, but at the moment that is only an option for high-volume orders of around 100 decks or more. We were thinking of a separate poster print option, but not sure about the paper stock. If another option comes by, we will definitely let you know! Thanks for having a look at our cards and taking the time to write a review.

Full disclosure... I love this companies products. That said... Holy Amazeballs is this deck incredible. I was just expecting a cool looking deck of cards with large suits for easy display at the game table or for use in an apocalyptic or mutation setting. This deck not only looks great but comes packed with some seriously cool mutations. There's instructions included in the pdf for randomly choosing mutations and a very cool idea for what happens when you draw jokers. So incredibly pleased with this deck. I've ordered cast of cards from drive thru and they are great quality so I have no worries about ordering this deck printed by drive thru. Great job Just Insert Imagination! I can't wait to use these!
