Don't try this when anyone else is around :-) but some office copiers
can handle that sort of material too.  If not, some printers can 
handle sheets of labels, which you could paste onto blank cards or
whatever.  Be careful if you try labels in a copier; I had the devil's
own time pulling the labels off the insides of one at work. :-)

I like the idea of using a deck of Tarot cards you like and
assigning meanings to the cards, or just use appropriately named 
ones.  If all your players are not trustworthy, you can always do a 
'card check' to make sure that card is unique (i.e. you don't have 
it and none of the other players have it).  Of the few decks I've
seen, the Crowley (Thoth) Tarot deck is the most impressive:
http://www.fourthdimension.net/cgi-bin/read/0 (keep incrementing
the number [ http://www.fourthdimension.net/cgi-bin/read/1 ] etc.
and you get to see relatively large images of the cards, which
nonetheless don't do them justice).

It was our idea to visualize this view of the new kind of dictator, 
because we grow up in a condition of dictatorship - Lenin, Stalin, etc. 
And when we came to United States, we recognized that another dictator 
here is the so-called majority. -- Vitaly Komar (and Alexander Melamid)
