A Halloween layout

Water, Storms and Gates. Interesting.

This has icons for the cards, with the html for the layout automatically generated by my program. The output still needs a fair amount of work. Putting the cards in the right locations related to each other would obviously be helpful. (I'm going to try something sneaky with tables in the CGI code).

Eventually there will be a push button on the Astral Trading Company website that will give you a nice layout with interpretation texts for the cards and locations, and do everything automatically.
