They were free to choose their race - The restrictions for this campaign were no underdark races and given the themes of the campaign I encouraged strange races.
Players then reflected on again on the first 3 cards and what they mean now that they know their character's natural aptitudes. Stats were randomized and in order with an average of 12 and weighted against large or small numbers (though we did see more extremes than I think is common given the math). Then 1 of the 19 remaining cards from the stat deck was chosen and thrown out, that cut the deck and the remaining 18 were drawn into 6 piles of 3, representing Str, Dex, Con, Int, Wis, Cha. The cards could either represent the character themselves, or something that happened to them (more common with the Major Arcana). The past was more background, the future was goals, and the present blended between them. I did this before stats and encouraged the player to think about how the cards created the character's story. Then 3 out of those 4 were chosen at random to represent the character's past, present, & future.

For a new campaign, Out of the Abyss, we made the characters using a modified Tarot deck (The 3.x Ravenloft Tarokka deck).
