Greetings and salutations!
Fate is the both the lawmaker and the policeman of the universe. Responsible for developing simplifying assumptions about each individual under its jurisdiction, Fate defines the beginning, middle, and end of the existence of everything simply because it allows the universe to be more efficient as a whole. Still, in order to maintain this efficiency, Fate has forced itself to be exceptionally literal and open to... creative interpretation.
A select few take the concept of confidence artist and point the con at the universe itself. Their favored word? "Technically..." Their favorite expression? A disarming smile. Their name? Cartomancers. Masters of reading into the web that Fate has woven and pulling out dozens of possible scenarios that technically fulfill its requirements, cartomancers are both wise, for they must know how Fate works, as well as charismatic, for they must be able to get away with the half-lies that they spout. Cartomancers walk the razor's edge, constantly prodding at and manipulating Fate, forcing the cards to fall the way they wish. Does Fate respond? All the time. Cartomancers are used to the backlash, and some of their colleagues have fallen to Fate's particularly vindictive mood swings; most cartomancers simply smile and explain that it's all part of the rush. Half the fun of a con is the chance of getting caught.
The cartomancer is centered on the concept of active deckbuilding using spells, or portents, based on the common interpretations of tarot cards. Combined with luck-fixing seals, codified fortunetelling, and four pages of the most ridiculous feats ever put inside an Interjection Games base class, the cartomancer is sure to be a favorite with roleplayers and TCG fans. If your favored TCG playstyle is like mine, the combo player, then the cartomancer will scratch an itch that nothing else compatible with the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game can quite address.
Available right here at Paizo for $7.99 - comes with a 13-page print-and-play deck, as well as compatibility tables for your own tarot and poker cards.
Added to cart, buying when off my tablet. Woohoo!
The link keeps leading to a page that says:
"You have made too many requests for the same page too quickly.
Please wait a minute before trying again."
So this is now in my downloads, but I can't actually download it. It just keeps refreshing the page.
Huh, looking into it.
Yep, there we go. Enjoy!
Aye, this has happened once before - one of my PDFs got corrupted in the upload and they had me do it again. I assume the ninja will have something to fix it tomorrow. Until then, if one of you three come to say hello via PM, I'll toss you a copy direct from my e-mail.
For the others, go buy it at OneBookShelf until this is resolved. I'm reuploading the product with no changes to preempt the likely instruction to do so. Ninjaing the ninja, so to speak :)
Sounds like it's working. Would one of the other two who bought it before we learned this was up be able to confirm?
