Ace

Anyway, there's significantly more cards in Distorted Reflections Alter than there have been in past Alter sets.

So this is kind of enabled by that because if you had just the normal amount, you could not include all the clubs you need, like the Ace and the 2 and the 3 and the 4 and the 5, what have you, plus the Queen and all that good stuff.

So...

And very much enabled by that, which is great to see.

But for today and for the next ten-ish weeks, we are not playing D&D.

We are here playing Daggerheart, as I welcome you back to episode five, the mid-season finale for Voltaire's Aces, the mini series here at Bards, officially supported by our friends

over at Darrington

Press.

It started out as angel cards and has moved on to tarot.

And this is to activate our oracular powers to see what energies are looming over the session at large.

And this, for the Hall of the Aces, we are pulling from the... community made deck made by friend of the show cuttlefish hand-painted regular themed major arcana absolutely insane we have pulled the moon the emperor the sun the world and strength and while i've been sitting here the hanged man has jumped out the tower jumped out but I have pulled three times and it jumped out once more, the

Fool.

So that's pocket aces all the way down to pocket twos.

Ace-King, Ace-Queen, Ace-Jack, Ace-Ten.

And then you want to play a bunch of Broadway hands like a King-Queen, King-Jack.

queen-jack, and then toss in a couple suited connectors, like a 10-9 suited, a 9-8 suited, and an 8-7 suited.

So this officially brings us to the end of our deeper dive into the Minor Arcana.

We've moved through the Aces, Cups, Swords, Wands, Pentacles, and now the Quartz.

Hopefully, the 78 cards are starting to feel a little less like 78 separate things you need to memorize and more like a language.

And the next episode, we're going to talk a little more nuance in that language and look at the numerology as well of these cards.
