I don't know what everyone has against Everway. I always loved the game, and despite this comment it *did* have mechanics. What it did with those mechanics though was give the GM and the players a lot more leaway in their interpretation than simple success and failure. It certainly wasn't a game to play if you just wanted to bash heads, and if you had a killer sadistic GM then you could forget it, but as a social story-telling game with RPG elements, I got a lot of fun out of it. It wasn't a bad RPG, it just approached the genre from a different direction by presenting a system where the GM and the players worked together to make a story rather than opposing one another.
I haven't read this particular game (Swansong) so I don't intend to criticise it, but the Everway mechanics are pretty much exactly how I'd go about incorporating the tarot into an RPG if I was intending on doing such a thing.
