what mechanics would you want from a card based rpg? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

I currently work on a system that gives every player their own deck of cards. The idea being that rhe player draw instead of roll. Every player gets their own favourite cards and abilities that trigger on specific cards or card types. For example every Ace is a critical success, every club (if that's your color) deals double it's value.

That's a great idea!

I think I'll write down the basics of Tokyo Nova and see what I might add and change. A hand system is pretty high on that list. I am not sure if I'll add a Blackjack mechanic for skill checks against others, what do you think?

Hmmm... Closest to but not over a target number would be entertaining, yes.
