Elemental Crux is a new series of products from Silent7Seven Games. All with an elemental theme, they are intended to eventually get compiled into a sinlge full-sized sourcebook. As a small publisher, we don't have a timeline for the full compilation, but as often as we have a cool elemental idea, expect to see it under the Elemental Crux title.
The first product in this line is Huxtropy. It gives rules for card-wielding PCs in the vein of X-Men's Gambit or the huckster class from the Deadlands universe. It's also the first glimpse of what you can expect in the Elemental Crux line, including the elemental gypsies.

Long ago, a trickster gypsy named Felavusix fooled four powerful entities from the Elemental Chaos into an endless game of cards. Having trapped them, he enacted a ritual to draw their elemental power into his own cards. Learn to wield the huxtropy deck as an arcane implement, or as a weapon using an actual deck of cards for damage (instead of dice!)
With feats, a ranger reskin known as the deckslinger, the gamblers pact warlock, and a new paragon path, Huxtropy includes everything you need to play a card-wielding character. You'll also find backstory for the elemental gamblers, rules to play the actual gambling game of huxtropy, how to read a fortune with a huxtropy deck, and more.
