Odd Jobs: An Oracle of Undertakings
This is a deck of invented occupations & off-kilter archetypes. Each is evoked on a single calling card, through a name, a description, and a list of tools of the trade. Together, the cards make up an oracle, with which to do with whatever you like. I'll slowly expand this deck over time, and might one day write little games specifically for use with it, but for now, its function is yours to decide.  You might draw cards to interpret your fate as judged by the cards, or generate a character for a storytelling game, or play matchmaker with the people in the deck . If you find or create new ways to interact with the deck, I'd love to hear about it!Version 0.3 contains 36 print-and-play cards as well as a brief guide to reading them.
