I've created a series of iscript functions that will allow people to draw from a deck of 54 cards (52 + 2 Jokers). The deck keeps track of the cards dealt by putting their values into the table. The results are displayed graphically, but you can also mouse over each card to get a text display.
To use these functions you will first need to create a Card Table. This prevents the sharing of decks.
To do this simply create a table with two columns. Name the first column "Cards" and the second column "Used?". Leave out the quotes when naming your columns.
Next, simply run the following function; you can even just post the iscript in the same board as the table you created: (1094.Create_Deck table_XXX) Where XXX is the topic ID of the Table thread you created.
With your deck created, you can now use the 1094.Draw_Cards and 1094.Shuffle functions.
1094.Draw_Cards takes 2 parameters the first is the number of cards drawn, the second is the table ID of your Card Table. The maximum number of cards that can be drawn has been limited to 8.
Example:
<iscript>(1094.Draw_Cards 3 table_31338)</iscript>
Results in:
The Deck will automatically reshuffle (reinitialize) when it's out of cards, but you can also shuffle the deck manually by using the (1094.Shuffle) function. This function only takes one parameter, the table ID of the deck to be shuffled.
Example:
<iscript>(1094.Shuffle table_31338)</iscript>
Results in:
Shuffled!
Through a little modification these Iscript functions can be modified to suit other purposes. For instance, it could be used to draw "Magic the Gathering" cards or display a graphic for die rolls. I'm curious to see if anyone comes up with a clever modification.
The code is probably not completely optimized, so if anyone has any suggestions for improvement I'll gladly take them. The functions used are all shared, so the code should be visible to all who browse.
The functions used are
(Create_Deck)
(Draw_Card)
(Card_Track)
(Get_Card)
(Redraw)
(Shuffle)

You can experiment with the functions without actually creating a table by simply putting in table_31338 as the table ID#.

That's simple to fix. I just have to change the viewing permission for the master deck. I was wondering if that would be necessary but I couldn't test it unless I setup another RPM account for myself. Discovering the that permissions are looked at during the iscript is a good thing, since it means that a GM can setup decks that can't be tampered with.
I opened up the viewing permissions for that thread so it should work now.

You should get something like this as a result of running the Create_Deck function:

Afterwords the Card Table should be filled. You may need to refresh the page that your Card Table is on to view the completed deck, especially if you run this script in a thread other than your Card Table.

The Create_Table function needs your table ID as a parameter to operate. I neglected to add this fact to the above post.
Try this:
(Create_Deck table_XXX)
Where XXX is the id# of the table topic.
Post edited above.
Example:
<iscript>(1094.Create_Deck table_31356)</iscript> The table should end up looking like this: Created Card Table

After checking out the iscript tutorials, that's what I thought it was, but I couldn't be sure. Seems to be working just fine now, thanks.

If one wanted to remove the jokers, will just deleting them off the table work, or would that mess with the script?

Deleting card of the deck would just result in a nil value being returned instead of the card.
However, I've recently modified the code to allow for smaller deck size. You can now enter a third optional parameter that will limit the size of the deck. For instance, if you want to have no Jokers in the deck for a game of "5-card Stud" you would simply use.
(Draw_Cards 5 table_XXXX 52)
Where "XXX" is the tableID#
This will remove the last 2 cards from the deck, which happen to be Jokers.
I've kept 54 the default for the third parameter, so if you want both Jokers still in you don't have add anything extra.
Unless there is a demand for it, I'll keep the max deck size at 54.

But changing the cards themselves is as easy as changing the image and the alt text in the table, correct? Say I wanted to replace them with images and names of tarot cards, for instance.
Keeping maximum deck size in mind of course.

The script doesn't care what the card images are, you can replace that with whatever you like.
Even your Pokemon cards, if your the kind of person that's into forcing wildlife to fight for your own personal amusement. What are they teaching kids?

hmm... with enough modifications, one could play Magic the Gathering, using a separate table for each player so they can build their own decks.
Though if the table is just numbers, and somewhere those numbers get attached to images, then it's the image mapping the player would need to store in their sheets...
And you'd need some way of tracking what cards are available to a player so they don't cheat and start duplicating powerful cards.

As far as cheating, that's preventable if you can get an unbiased third party to store the decks for you. The third party would have to check to see if the cards were actually used each turn, to make certain that someone wasn't drawing from a second deck, but that's actually something that easily done since the function transfers the card "image" into the Used? column of the Deck Table. The "Ref" could simply check the Table each turn to verify that the cards were actually drawn.
You'd need 3 to 4 more columns to the Table. One that stores cards that are in your hand, one that stores what is on the table, one that keeps track of what is actually in the graveyard. You can simply create a function that adds a tapped symbol after the card in the "Table" column to designate that it's tapped or not. A more ambitious attempt would be to create a column that held the image of the tapped card. The function would simply overwrite the tapped image onto your "Table" column as long as there was an image of that card already in present in that column already. You'd also need a function that did the reverse (You could write that ability into the same function; it just adds to the complexity).
Each new column of information would need a new function, fortunately these don't need to interfere with the card drawing function. They would be pretty small as well, simply checking to see if the selected card has been drawn and then modifying the Hand, Table, or Graveyard columns. You'd also need a function that would clean out everything once the game is over.
There might be a simpler way to manage it, but with a card game like Magic you are talking about a lot more information to keep track of.
