First off, this is not a recruitment thread, so don't get confused.
At some point, I'm likely to be running Deadlands (the original system, with cards and chips) as a PBP here on the boards, and I'm wondering how best to incorporate the non-dice elements of the game. How would I represent drawing cards and chips on the boards?
Only thing I can really think of is drawing from a deck/pot and just telling people what they get. Being that the vast majority of the players in this game are people I know in real life (just moved away) this shouldn't be an issue of trust...I just think it'd be a lot cooler if they had the experience of drawing their own stuff somehow.
Ideas? Anyone seen a program online that would possibly represent these mechanics?
Part of the problem with dice for cards is for every card that gets drawn the chances of drawing others of the same type (2s, or kings, or aces) changes.
