    the cards printed double-sided on each page (six per page, except for
    the last page which had only four). You had to cut the cards out
    yourself.

    It was in both DUNGEON and in DRAGON MAGAINE. I don't recall if the cards
    were in one or both 'zines, but DUNGEON had an adventure based on the Deck Of Too Many Things. If memory serves, each door in the dungeon had a card frm
    the deck on it.

    That sounds like madness inducing, but as long as the players were on board it would be fun.

    I don't think it was an actual card from the magic item, but it indicated the theme of the room.
