With fear of sounding/being terribly pretentious I make this post.
Meh I think I may have just recieved what some might call serendipity.
An Rpg where each of the characters plays a "card", a personality, of the major archana of the tarot.
In stead of each of the players controling their own character they vie for control of the life of the same one, the unsespecting mortal who has gone for a tarot reading. Each of the cards drawn attempts to push it's will on the life of the mortal by changing things in the character's life.
System wise, I was thinking some sort of barter/ politic mechanic whereby any of the cards can propose an change and if no one objects then the change happens. If someone does object then the proposer requires the assistence of another card to push the change through, promoting deal brokering (etc. I'll let you have her husband's car crash if you will allow me to make her pregant) and the like.
These are just rough thoughts atm, but I thought I may see if I could get some thoughts on them, even if it is just "leave this to those who know what they are doing, whelp".
