A link would be much appreciated to the Deck of Sin and Virtue. I would very much like to incorporate it into my gameplay.
I've invented an item that acts as a table-cloth that has the unique property of the Olympics. That is to say, it offers something like a Sanctuary spell with no saves, provided the players are engaged in some form of game. If players take too long to move, or pause the game to do something out, the effect ends. If spells are cast upon the players or by the players during the game, they only take effect once the game has concluded, or the players adjourn.
Additionally, if a deck of many things is used in a game, the "winner" of the game is only affected by the "beneficial" cards he draws, while the "loser" of the game is only affected by the "harmful" cards he draws.
Now, this item may be overpowered in some ways, but no more than a deck of many things, and it provides an interesting twist. Suddenly, two willing participants can indulge in a game that involves unpredictable stakes. Plus, short rests are now guaranteed to be without physical ambushes, though someone still needs to guard against magical attacks that might pile up, then all take effect instantly.
