should not be. Make up a card that isn’t in the deck.
Here's an example of a possible layout:
General Future Reading – Roll 9x d100 Immediate Future
1. Major event type 2. Pivotal person to be encountered 3. Outcome Near-Mid Future 4. Major event type 5. Pivotal person to be encountered 6. Outcome Conclusion of Cycle of Events 7. Major event type 8. Pivotal person to be encountered 9. Outcome
And here's some additional rules:
If the dice roll off the table: Read the number on the dice, that card jumped out of the deck. It wants to be read. Read it, but do not count it as part of the layout. If the dice rolls the same number twice, have the player re-roll, but make a note on the number that was re- rolled, that card’s meaning will have more influence on the reading.
