I configured fortune to spit out a random oblique strategy in my .bashrc every time I open up a new terminal; it’s great fun, and a gentle reminder when I’ve been working too long that I should spend more time pursuing the art that I love.

Does anyone know of a libre/free resource that has a list of strategies in the same spirit?

Also, does anyone have a libre/free source for something more tech oriented? I can imagine the cards being something like "make data column oriented instead of row oriented" or "deduplicate data".

The best I've found is the "Little Deck of Game Design" [0], which seems pretty cool.
