It sounds like he dealt it fairly and then just wrote the character interactions. Since he's designing the game, he could redesign any card he needed. Or he could just choose not to play it. But I don't think stacking the deck would make sense for this game. Now, the decks in Squirrel Prophet were probably not dealt. That was probably story based. But its a different writing goal and a different game entirely.

Based on previous commentaries about his writing process (and the fact that this cast was decided upon long in advance), I'd guess it was mostly the former overall with some ideas he wanted to fit in if he could. The real question is: did he manually tailor each character's hand for the narrative or randomly select cards to be more authentic?

It might be a callback to that one EGSNP or Sketchbook (can't remember which) where a football player evolves into a cheerleader like a pokemon.

I don't think you'll get tired of Susan sticking her tongue out. I'm sure I won't.

Hahaha, Ashley’s having basically the same thought pocess I would have in this situation.

Right on! Can't wait to see it!

I stayed as in character with my moves as possible, though there are only a few cases where that made any difference in a game with as much random chance as this.

Hey Dan, question: When you did your play test, did you take the turns as if it was the characters? Or did you just take the turns logically in play test and then backfilled character motivation and interactions?
