Dwarf & Goblin Card Game
So, I have a rather simplistic card game that I made some time ago ...the kind of thing that PCs can play in the local tavern or inn (if they decide to get mixed up in such things).
And while I've mentioned (usually in passing) card games being played by tavern goers in some of my previous games (and with a couple of different groups), last weekend's players were the first to actually play a few hands ...so it finally got some use :)
Anyway, as I say, it's super simple (so please don't expect too much) ...but you know me, I do like to use player handouts and cheesy gimmicks in my games - and so I'm sharing it here (just in case anyone else can get some use out of it).
So please find attached a pdf of said cards (I had a bit of an issue lining up the fronts and the backs on my printer - so be aware of that) ...and I have the smaller jpg versions (that I used in last weekends online game) over on google drive, along with a text document covering the (very) basic rules.
I might expand upon it in the future (or include it in the next 'zine) - but for now, it should do the job if a PC in your game decides to engage in a spot of gambling and you want to do something more than just handwave the whole affair (or at least, that's my hope).

Thank you so much for sharing. This is definitely something I would like to print up. I may have missed it but how many of each card should I be printing up for each deck?
If it's just being played between 2 or 3 people, then one deck/printout is enough (as it's meant to me easy for us to make as well :) ). 'In-game' I would say that that's how it was intended to be played - but that folks sometimes add in another deck if they want to have 4 or 5 players for an 'unofficial' version of the game.
