1. If a player’s character dies, what happens to their hand of cards? Do they get dealt new cards from the deck? If so, what happens if that causes the deck to empty?
1. These are both great questions and I should make a note in the text somewhere. I do not suggest refilling a player's hand if their character dies. This is because it can sometimes do weird things like empty the deck. This means that it is best to see the hand as a resource of the players, not the characters. I think the only time a player's hand should be fully refilled is if we're shuffling the deck and starting a whole new sequence.
Thanks for clarifying. That all makes a lot of sense. Except maybe “starting a whole new sequence”. I think you mean dealing out as if it were a new game, as you discuss in Beyond One Shots. Not if someone dies from emptying the deck, right?

Can the game work for five players? There’s a suggestion on how many cards to deal each player, but is there anything else to consider?
5 players with 4 cards each should definitely work. I've not actually played with 5 players but I think it should play fine!
This is very neat. Two questions:
1. If a player’s character dies, what happens to their hand of cards? Do they get dealt new cards from the deck? If so, what happens if that causes the deck to empty?
2. Is there a printable character sheet?
Thank you so much!

2. I'll have it up this week.

Yeah, exactly. Unless we were basically starting a whole new game!
This looks rad! One question: Are risky draws the only way to have cards in a player's hand?
You start with cards and then after that, the only way to get cards is through the High Risk draws!
Thanks, I missed the part of Game Structure when the initial hand was dealt!
This looks so cool. Can't wait to try it.
I don't know the pcio file extension used for the demo, how does that work?
It's a file for https://playingcards.io/
gotcha, thx
