That's my cue to laugh maniacally and start a thread.

In the course of Carnage con Queso and Found Me A Sheep, the players are given
a number of cards which they can play as needed. Typical Con Queso cards =
"Artillery strike: one round of fire from 3 medium mortars"; or "Medibot: add
a medic to your squad."

Typical FMAS cards = "Maxim gun: upon use, see GM for effect" (the
effect is that it prints out 'a penny saved is a penny earned'--that's
your maxim); or "Mint jelly flamer--causes Terror in sheep."

Note that cards can be useful, or purely for the GM's malevolent amusement, or
just to make an atrocious pun.

What cards would *you* like to see at Con Queso y Sheep at ECC-X? If
it's something like the Maxim gun, where the punchline should be secret,

Good. That's one of the two effects I want.

The other effect afflicted Tony about every three minutes at the most
recent Con Queso--a sort of glassy-eyed look that clearly said "This is
too absurd for my brain to cope with. Reboot!"
