Well I finally got around to running Everway for the first time , having been asked to do an special Christmas game for a bunch i used to game with years ago....
... Actually, I tried running a game in which the Spherewalker mechanic was completely disregarded. Everyone was new to the game, including me, and most...
Hi group, I ran an Everway campaign one and a half years ago, but unfortunately the group split up. But now I am starting a new group, and I also had them ...
... Actually, we only had a couple of sessions of that game and then switched to something else. At the time I was running the game in someone else's house,...

Hi there, I keep considering using Everway to play games there are not set in the Thousand Worlds. And I think to do this I'd need to use a different Fortune...
Hey Kat, Can you elaborate on this a little more??? I an a fan of the Mage system and have actually played with the Mage Tarot deck in this way -- just not in...
Actually, somewhere in the game books they say that the fortune deck included with the game is the most common type in the city of Everway. Everway gets a lot...

I for one , would be interested to hear about non-everway uses of fortune decks. I've been thinking of something similar for a pulp genre game A thousand times...
Another possibility is to pick up a cheap deck of cards with a back you like and then glue pictures to the front with a glue stick. If you apply the glue...
Y'know, I'm not speaking from experience here (being relatively new to Everway), but it strikes me that the Fortune Deck's use of traditional gods (Anubis,...
... Each GM's mileage will vary, but in my experience the Fortune Deck feels MOST appropriate for Everway's genre--mythic fantasy. That's pretty big, though,...
All the talk about cutting and glueing card together reminded me of something I ran across while web surfing a while ago. It has suggestions for making your...

Just to add one more voice to this interesting discussion: I share John's feeling that the real-world dieties and astrological signs could be avoided though...
In my recent first foray into the world of running everway one of my players wanted to create a school of magic and I used Kat's guidlines for working out the...
Couldn't agree more -- the Fortune Deck resonates wonderfully with mythology, and epic fantasy. I wouldn't use it for anything else. This resonance is what...
There's a lot going on here. I'm beginning to wonder, though, whether I should have stuck to my original word choice and defended "mythopoetic" rather than...
... It sure is nice to see someone else immediately jump to LotR for examples in a conversation about Everway. I've been doing that for years... See, I don't...
... I agree--but I feel that the distinction between fantasy and myth is an unfortunate one. That mythopoetic sense is what the best fantasy fiction has...
You've been on a roll. I don't think I have the time or the energy right now to respond to either of the past two posts with the sort of insight they exhibit,...
"The second--whatever your feelings about the exclusion of Tom Bombadil and the fact that they turned Arwen into a real character--conjures a sense of depth...
... Or I'm yammering. Your choice. ... Why, thank you. That's kind. ... Sure, I'm with you. I guess I just wish we didn't have to make the distinction. I...
Strangel and oddly, one line of Davids post gave me a random idea for a Spherewalker type concept: On Wed, 9 Jan 2002 12:00:10 -0800 (PST) David Sklar ...
... Would he remember the content or only the titles? If he remembers the content of the books he hadn't read, then that would be an incredible wealth of...
