The card deck in Masterbook is a good way to add some cinema to a game. 
I've translated them into GURPS term.  The initiative stuff isn't very
good and the 'dramatic resolution' section is okay but not quite right for
GURPS.  Note that these cards are a big advantage for characters - you
should adjust the point value of your game downwards from 10 to 15 points
if you incorporate the cards, and probably restrict the purchase of Luck
as well.  Also be sure to check and see if the 'negative' cards are in
there as well, this could affect your evaluation of the point value for
the cards. 

Card rules are simple. Every player receives 3 cards (2 cards if there are
5 or more players). Cards that are red at the top and the bottom and cards
that are "special" (Interloper, Opportunity, Disaster) must be turned into
the GM immediately. Those represent subplots that the GM may weave into
the game. Generally speaking, if the GM fails to incorporate a card, they
may instead elect to give one extra character point instead.

Here are the cards and what they mean: 

ACTION: The character receives +1 to all skills used in that round (this
includes passive Dodges!). If used outside combat, it provides +1 to a
single skill for one roll.

ADRENALINE: This card is OK as described on its face. It provides a +3 to
any single skill roll involving physical activity.

BREAKTHROUGH: Act as if you'd spent .5 points on a skill instead of
rolling at default. You don't actually get the .5 points after the single
roll that it is for. (compare to Drama.)

CLAIM: OK as described. Pick up the last card played and add it to your
hand.

DRAMA: Spend your next 3 character points right when you play this card.
(Like a "loan" of 3 CP.) Note that this may result in you going "into the
hole" if you get less than 3 CP at the end of the session. 

EFFECT: +2 to your damage OR -2 to an opponent's damage OR -2 to an
opponent's skill in a resisted roll. 

HASTE: 2 actions for this round with no penalty.

HERO: If an obstacle is not vital to the story and you can describe a
non-villainous way to overcome it, you will automatically succeed. It's
the GM's call about how vital the obstacle is.

IDEA: OK as described. Ask a question of the GM and the GM will opine some
OOC ideas which your character may have.

LEADERSHIP: OK as described. Put up to two cards from your hand into other
players' pools and draw the same number of new cards. However, no more
than one card can go to any given player.

OPPONENT FAILS: OK as described. An NPC automatically fails a single skill
roll of your choice.

PRESENCE: OK as described. Add +3 to any social skill for one roll.

RALLY: Every player (including you) draws one card into their hand, even
if it puts them over 3.

SECOND CHANCE: OK as described. Reroll any one roll.

SEIZE INITIATIVE: All player-characters and allies go before all opponents
regardless of their Speed.  Cannot be used on important opponents. (This
is a GM call. See HERO.)

SUPPORTER: OK as described. You can add +3 to any character's skill by
roleplaying supporting them and playing this card. Also known as "Goddamn
Supporter." 

WILLPOWER: OK as described. Add +3 to your skill for any roll involving
the mind or knowledge or willpower.

SUBPLOT CARDS:

ALERTNESS: The PC is alert to some clue or avoids surprise in an ambush
(for example) once during the session.

CAMPAIGN: At GM's discretion, another subplot card becomes permanent.
(Note that this doesn't make sense with some, like CONNECTION or
ALERTNESS.)

COMMON GROUND: OK as described. 

CONNECTION: OK as described. Essentially the equivalent of a Contact who
is available for assistance.

DOUBLE CROSS: OK as described. Essentially the equivalent of losing a
Contact (temporarily?).

MISTAKEN IDENTITY: OK as described. Note that the mistaken identity can be
good or bad!

NEMESIS: OK as described. Essentially like a minor Enemy.

PERSONAL STAKE: OK as described. The PC has a personal stake in the
outcome of some event during the evening.

ROMANCE: 'Nuff said. The mushy stuff.

SUSPICION: OK as described. Note that suspicion can be accurate or
inaccurate, and doesn't necessarily come from the authorities.


SPECIAL CARDS:

These are easily recognizable by the insane li'l pitchers on 'em.

DISASTER: Something goes terribly, terribly wrong.

INTERLOPER: Someone or some faction intervenes in the plot for some
reason, in a significant way.

OPPORTUNITY: A PC gets a major opportunity.

WILD: The plot goes spinning off in an unexpected direction.

There are two "custom" Special cards, one with a cube on it and one with a
spirally thing on it. These have meanings set by the GM for the setting.
For example, for my Trinity game, the cube represented the FSA and the
spiral represented psychic stuff, if either card came up, then something
important had happened in that arena.
