Following on from the previous article on shemp development (see Uncle Bear for definition and origin of shemp), I mused on the possibility of doing this by random generator based on a lifepath system. By freakish coincidence I was looking into fortune-telling using playing cards and then I thought of the oracles at Abulafia...
The result is an open-source, system-free way to add flair to your baseline shemp. Use to taste - there are multiple options for the system depending on inclination and there are multiple systems of card divination courtesy of Google to use if this method isn't to your taste. Without further ado, The Oracle of Shemp.
(Token Disclaimer: Fame & Fortune discourage using this as a divination tool even if there were cartomancers using this in 17th century courts. No challenge to any kind of copyright intended - what do you think I'm crazy? C'thulhu fthagn! ia! ia! Must be this tall to ride. )
