I guess there might be some similarities but of course the Tarot cards are already pre-written and you interpret them as you wish for your individual story. For example my character (in post 9) could be a girl trying to save her families ranch in the old west or be the daughter of the ruler over a small empire (planet bound or spread over multiple solar systems) just to name a few basic ideas off the top of my head. Drawing 3 cards for the 3 acts I got: 10 of wands for Act 1, 7 of wands for Act 2 and King of wands for Act 3. So, the hero falls under the oppression of a tyrant(Act 1), fights an uphill battle to defeat the tyrant(Act 2) and in the process rises to become the leader that their people need (Act 3). But if I had picked 3 different cards I would have gotten a different storyline entirely. There is also a 6 card draw that is the equivalent of the 6 key scenes which are spread over all 3 acts of the story.
