Planescape SAGA Cards?

Ok, maybe I'm an old grey-beard or something, but I actually *liked* the Dragonlance SAGA edition card set. It gave a nice flow to the game, provided some stronger control over character actions for the players and overall just felt like a fun game to run and play. I was fond of the magic system too Eye-wink

In light of that I finally (Finally!) managed to track down a copy of the game and have my own set of cards. I was curious if anyone else would like me to develop a Planescape set that can be downloaded and printed off on your own system?

Am I the only one interested in such a thingie?

A description of the basic concept can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SAGA_System

I know a lot of Dragonlance fans dislike it as it is associated with the 5th age of Dragonlance. I tend to hold systems and settings apart from each other. The *system* is solid. Eye-wink I'll admit I'm more familar with it from the Marvel Superheros SAGA editio.

A few reviews that go into detail on the play and handling of the system:

I had a chance to play a SAGA game in a local convention, and it was fun. I don't remember the system, but I think Malystrix Egomaniac, 9 was pretty cool Laughing out loud

I know that every card had a character to give it flavor. I'd love to characterize cards for PS!

Oho, I do remember this. 

Oho, I do remember this.  I bought the Marvel set some ten years ago but I never got much opportunity to play with it. 

 I think it would be enjoyable to create for Planescape.

I would love to see such a thing, by the time I learned about the Saga cards and became open minded enough to give them a try, they had utterly vanished from the market.  So, yes, by all means go ahead and do so ... then let us know when you are done so we can take advantage of your hard work. ::smirks::
