Draw Cross Card
draw_cross_cardDraw a blind card from a chosen suit to fill one of four drives in the Sitting's cross, shaping your character's Motivation, Seek, Carry, or Ends without revealing its meaning until all are placed.
Instructions
Draw one card, blind, into a position on the Sitting's cross — the four-drive character-creation spread built once at the start of every campaign.
Call once per drive during the Sitting, after the player has chosen a
suit for that drive: Motivation, then Seek, then Carry, then Ends, in
that order. Each of the four positions and each of the four suits can
only be used once each — calling this with a position or suit already
used raises ValueError. "Blind" means the card is drawn face-down from
the matching suit's own 13-card pile without looking; don't reveal its
phrase to the player until all four drives have a card.
suit: which of the four card suits (♥ Hearts, ♦ Diamonds, ♣ Clubs,
♠ Spades) the player chose for this drive — each suit represents a
different domain of meaning (love/loyalty, wealth/ambition,
labor/growth, death/conflict).
position: which of the four drives this card fills — Motivation, Seek,
Carry, or Ends.
Not idempotent: mutates the shared cross and removes a card from the
suit's pile. Returns the drawn card as a dict with rank, suit,
suit_name, domain, rank_meaning, and phrase.
