Insanity Cards On Sale Now!
Thoughts on roleplaying, board games, and video game development.
Mine arrived today! Thanks Paul I’ll give them a go tomorrow 🙂
Awesome! Please do let me know how it goes.
My players said in our run through of module B4 The Lost City “this is like call of cthulu”/”this adds a nice little something”/”I may be delusional but do you hear this [masked] guy speaking or am I just hearing things … ya I hear him speaking but I’m delusional as well so who knows”.
These cards give the OKAY to play … because having FEAR justifies them saying that they won’t go first in marching order and everyone accepts it. One delusional character rolled around in glowing beetle guts to become a human torch. I’m not sure that would’ve happened without the cards.
I would like to add that the rules were really well written. I felt safe introducing them after only a cursory look at them. What more could I ask for, easy to introduce, easy to play with, lots of added value. Love ’em!!
Ooh, B4 – good choice. I may have to steal that idea. Actually, mixing the cards into a standard OD&D game may be something I have to start bringing to conventions. So far I’ve kept my horror and my fantasy in separate games at the conventions I attend, but it definitely looks like a chocolate and peanut butter opportunity.
Glad your group got into it, I hope it continues to play well!
Thanks! My only feedback in the event you reprint them would be to try and resize them so that they fit one of the available card-sleeves the kind you would see for a “commander” style Magic deck so 5 inch by 3.5 inch as seen here:

Interesting, I’ve not seen that size anywhere myself. Most printers offer a tarot size (2.75 x 4.75), but that’s been a bit too small to fit all the text in a legible way, so I went with the jumbo size (3.5 x 5.5).
That’s fair, I will continue to look for protection. I feel that they are sufficiently rare and precious and lovely that they could be individually numbered Deck 17/44! 🙂
It could also be that I play with high school students and I wouldn’t trust them to safely handle a cottonball.
