Countdown from 10 Deck (Heroic Fantasy)

ADD TO WISHLIST >
Selected Option:

In this box, you will find a poker deck of 52 cards, plus 2 jokers, specifically designed for tracking initiative in any roleplaying game, although it works especially well with the Savage Worlds system.

Unlike a standard deck of cards, this deck is themed to lend atmosphere to your roleplaying game. The numerical value of the card (from 0 to 10), used for Initiative, is featured prominently. Ties between cards of the same value are resolved by comparing “speed” (which goes from 1 to 5).

The classic playing card values and suits are still shown, for reference, but are relegated to a small section of the card.

Which one to choose: countdown from 10 or from 12?

Choose the 10 deck if you think it's more natural to start your countdown from 10 rather than 12. If you like to use houserules and already grant special effects to both jokers (for instance, in a game using the Savage Worlds rules), then the 10 deck only contains two 0 cards, which are perfect to introduce more special effects (to partly offset going last, or make it even more punishing!).

If you prefer that all card values be represented an equal number of times, then the 12 deck will work best for you, as all values from 0 to 12 have exactly four copies each in the deck. In this regard, the 12 deck is simply a thematic reskin of a standard poker game, and as such might be easier to use for new players.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
