For those going to GenCon:



Shadowrun Sixth World Tarot

Look Closer!

When you look at this tarot deck, what do you see? You can’t miss the 78 cards with gorgeous, original art by Echo Chernik, that adapt tarot arcana to Shadowrun’s Sixth World. But look closer. Examine the details. Explore connections. Do you see them? Are you catching everything the cards have to tell you?

Are you seeing enough?

The Sixth World Tarot is a complete deck of Shadowrun-themed tarot cards, useful as game props, plot hooks, or any other purpose tarot cards are for!

Gen Con Only: This is a Gen Con edition; a slightly different edition will be available outside Gen Con at a later time.

Sorry, I have no control over that ^^
At least pictures need no words

It's no big deal. French, right? Been wanting to learn that language for a while now.

I have a question about the GenCon Tarot Deck:
So I spent a Friday night in my game shop showing off the deck.  While folks were admiring the cards I looked at the little book that comes with it.  It very good little resource but I noticed it lacked something.  It mentions the Tree of Life spread in the booklet for reading the cards.  However, the explanation to how to use that particular reading is missing.  My guess is the tree of life is for making a character using the tarot cards themselves.  So where is it?  Do I need to purchase a non-GenCon deck to get a hold of it?

Was going to make a joke about someone upstairs not playing with a full deck if they goofed on the booklet already, but it's pretty minor as there are tons of webpages for this.

The image from Eira's link is a pretty traditional layout

As for the meaning of the different spots there are various ways to read them

1.This will be your highest ideal, goal and ideal attainment
2.This will be your driving force, sometimes an event or person.
3.This card represents what will aid you in life.
4.This card represents all which you hold dear and sacred.
5.This represents the impact you will have on others while journeying to attain your goal
6.This represents your physical state in regards to health and how you affect others
7.This represents influential people you will meet, lovers and great friends
8.This represents a good a career or pursuit for you which you will find fulfilling
9.This represents the you that you do not know; hidden desires and currently locked potential
10.This card represents your physical self and the world around you.

A slight variation has it go as follows:
1.Your Highest Ideals
2.Your Creative Pow
3.Your Wisdom
4.Your Virtues
5.The Force of Your being
6.Your Health, Beauty and Altruism
7.Your Loves, Lusts, Artistic Self and Instincts
8.You as a Procreator, Designer and Scientist
9.Your Imagination and Psychic Self
10.Your Physical Self

I use the tree of life spread almost exclusively, as it is usually the most thorough. I'll use a different spread every one in a while if I'm seeking a more specific answer, but most people won't/don't use anything other than the tree of life.

... but most people won't/don't use anything other than the tree of life.

... sorry, no.  While it depends on what you're doing the spread for, most people don't use anything other than the Celtic Cross spread - which is almost universally the only one included in most of the booklets which you receive with the tarot deck itself.  While the Tree of Life is a good look at 'you now', it tends to be centric on the individual's self (or as my runic books would say, Self), and not on a broader scope, no matter its decription as a 'general' spread.

The rest of the spreads on their site look to be a good sampling, though I know of at least four different ones I use regularly that aren't there.

Hmm, I guess we walk very different paths then. Tree of Life is the very first one I was taught, and the other vǫlur in my kindred use it almost exclusively like I do. We try not to peer to far into the future, since it is never truly set in stone and can change depending on every little decision we make. Besides, people are mostly only ever curious about themselves, in my experience.

I'd say so, yes.  I'd never so limit myself, or presume that the experiences of me and my closest confidantes were the general default.

I limit myself for very personal reasons. I'm not infallible, nor will I ever claim to be.

Thank you for the assistance but I get the feeling that the tree of life reading is actually how one makes a character using the tarot I was just wondering where the rules for it was.  Thus my inquiry.
