Physical Crowdsource Tarot Available Now

[beetiger]

bard_bloom and I decided that we'd like a physical version of the Crowdsource Tarot, to use at our traditional Samhain divination sessions. So I went and found a way to get card decks done print-on-demand, and I put on my layoutcritter hat, and made something real and shuffleable that can be laid out on a table, thrown across the room, or whatever.

We just got the sample deck we made back and, well, it's kinda awesome. So we've decided to make this available to those of you who might enjoy it.

The 86 card deck has the descriptive texts, together with the upright and reversed meanings, on full color, laminated, poker-sized cards. The card colors correspond to the colors of the rainbow, which map to the chakras, which map to the extended version of the Maslow's Hierarchy, which map to the suits of the Crowdsource Tarot. The “Yes” card is the wonderful symmetrical design by chipuni, and the backs feature a detail from an abstract painting created by bard_bloom's grandmother.

In order to make this work, give you the price we want on this, and get them in time to anyone else who does divination at Halloween, we're going to take paid preorders between now and October 9th. Each deck is $15 + $3 S/H within the US (If you are outside the US, drop me a line and we'll figure it out.) Please either click the button below, or send PayPal to sales@makeincense.com with the words “Crowdsource Tarot” in the title.

Please feel free to pass this around. Thank you so much!

(ps As always, barter is possible and cool. I still need you to make the arrangements by October 9th, though.)

Oh my gosh, this is so freaking awesome.

Thanks for making this available!

*waits 'til payday*

Oh, maybe bard_bloom can bring me a deck when it's down for the conference and I'll pay $15? Let me know.

The firecat said yes. So $15 to PayPal before the 9th, delivery on the 24th or so. :)

Card decks print on demand?

I'd love to hear how you're setting this up!

The shipping is insane, but the print quality was better than I expected, and you can get as little as a single deck made. I do playtesting these days for Z-Man Games, and many of the prototypes they get sent in are produced via Game Crafter.

Actually, it prompted me to pay $18 and I couldn't figure out how to change it. Is there any chance I could talk you into sending some of the Tri Shakti rope incense with the firecat, too? (If you have extra.)

Will do. :)
