RE: [DL] number of decks

[Wes Anderson <wes.anderson@lucasfilm.com>]

This topic has been addressed before. I believe Shane's comment was that
larger groups would often require having more decks. (Of course nothing is
canon since everyone should run it the way they want)

My group has 12 players so a single deck for them was not an option since
almost EVERY round someone pulled both black and red jokers.

With a deck each there is a chance that two people pull reds, but it has not
had a serious impact on game. Heck sometime two people pull black and I get
two chips! We did decide to work the rules this way, again though, it has
not ever effected the balance of the game one bit and it keeps the game
flowing nicely.

having diferent decks is not such a good idea as i am wondering if they all 
pull red jokers at the same time and there are 5 players do you give out
five 
chips and what about you the gm if they pull 5 black jokers do you get 5 
chips come on the reason the players only have one deck is so that we dont 
have to worry about things like this and to make the game more BALANCED i 
would agree to this though if as a player aswell as a gm you were playing in

a john goff adventure (sorry john but they are most definately chip eaters)
