I saw in a thread where playing cards were being done in an extension. Is this possible for everyone? If so how? (I do not want to play Savage Worlds-BTW)
Thanks

what exactly do you need to achieve? if you want the GM to be able to deal out cards - reasonably easy with tables and the cards extension.
if the players need to be able to deal, play, trade, swap cards it is not currently available except i think in SW...

I'm fiddling. Not doing anything specifically just thinking. If I set up cards to do a random dungeon, where the cards are the rooms, doors, halls, contents, and encounters(including treasure) something like the random tables in the back of the original and 5e DMG... This wouldn't be story driven but could be, and you could have level appropriate encounters by using card 'piles' divided up by CR value- with a random card to choose the next highest level CR deck.
You could drag the card to your map. The Encounter cards would connect with your monster manual. Ect.

This could lead to a type of solo play, or co-op play.

The 4E DMG had two pages of rules (194-5) that used D&D Mini cards (I used 3x5 cards myself) as decks of monsters for building encounters for solo and random dungeon play. It was an interesting idea that would work in any edition. This could easily be simulated with tables if you use Trenloe's Basic Card Tables Extension.
