Saw that. Made me think the deck itself was imminent.

Does the artist have a website, or FB only?

What's the name of the Kickstarter so I can go look it up, even if it's already over ( :()?

The artist is Echo Chernik.

http://www.echo-x.com/

She is pretty active on FB, not so sure about other channels. No word on KS at this point...not sure if CGL with use the option or not when things are ready to go. I've got some other updates I'll be posting shortly, but expect there to be a number of releases around the tarot deck. ;)

Unfortunately, no update on that. That being said, let's try to keep posts relevant to the thread topic.

So excited about this.  Any idea when it's coming?

I believe that it is now in "production"...i.e. preparing for release to printers (though I'd be surprised if they didn't try to have something on hand for GenCon). Not sure re actual timeline when it will be available to purchase. Not that this isn't just about the tarot deck, there is also a supplement with rules/tie in to SR5. Hopefully we'll see more in the coming weeks as we ramp up to the summer convention season.

From Echo's FB page on the subject:

If you are in Seattle, come by my THE END HAS COME party tomorrow night at Verne and Wells in Kirkland at 6pm. We are celebrating the FINISHED SHADOWRUN TAROT DECK - along with a preview of the art, tarot readings, cake, and a small selection of tarot prints in bullet hole frames! We've been slaving away for two years on this project - so the party is mostly to show my kids that they are getting their parents back soon!!

Now granted they are just celebrating and does not tell us when the final deck for the rest of us will hit the shop, but just wish I could go to Seattle  for this because art AND cake sounds awesome. :P

Quote from: Tumblr
]We decided to use the Sixth World Tarot thematically in order to develop fully fleshed out the Seelie Court’s factions that are active in this world. Each represents a group of fae that are not only pursuing a goal that best represents the Major Arcana, but also helps add layers of meaning to the faeries you and your players will encounter in the Court of Shadows. In fact, this bit is so important I’m going to write about it next time, too, because you’ll get to see how and when and where all these pieces will align in new and interesting ways.


Now that is interesting.


Also maybe could have something like guidelines for using a 5 card/other layout spread to size up a situation on a run for the team as well.

Card 1:   The present or general theme of the reading
Reflecting the situation at hand, whether it's trying to decide to even take the job or showing them they are in a bit over their head.

Card 2:   Past influences still having effect.
Reminders to the team of an Enemies/Hunted by who might be turning up shortly or similar.

Card 3:   The most likely outcome if they follow this path.
Could warn of a potential trap/doublecross or other teasers/tips the GM wants to throw at them.

Card 4:   Could Represent the Johnson and his reasons behind the run or just a particular situation the runners are stymied by, like another runner team in play who just extracted their target right before they could.
So the Cards could warn that the Johnson is out for revenge against the target on a personal vendetta instead of business or who might be behind the other runner team who just upstaged them or may give a clue about their mission goal they were not aware of.

Card 5:   The potential within the situation.
Maybe foreshadowing a chance for the team to pick up some extra shinies along the way, whether its some 'ware or a bit of extra paydata or a clue to some ongoing quest by one of the team.

Do you believe in a greater WIRELESS, an Invisible(WiFi) All Seeing(detecting those connected- at least if within 100'), All Knowing(all online data) Presence that we can draw upon for Wisdom(downloads & updates), Strength (wifi boni) and Comfort (porn) or do you turn your back on it  (Go Offline)?

Echo posted the following on FB:
Quote
Now taking preorders on the mini print deck. 80 pieces of art in card format. Signed, with a unique back to each card. This is the art from the tarot, but without the puzzle bottom piece that the actual tarot deck will possess. SO, this is for people that want the art, but maybe not the game supplement. It does have all the art, and it is signed. We are doing free shipping with the preorders. Since we are printing them domestically, they should be in in around 2 weeks, and I will get them out quickly. pm me if interested. $75. We are doing a low number of these, so there won't be many available.

If you're interested, would suggest that you drop her a PM pretty quick.

Last chance to pre-order:

Last chance to preorder the mini print art deck of my Shadowrun work before I open it to the public. I offered it here first to the Shadowrun group.  They are $75, free shipping with the pre-order. They should be in in about two weeks, and I'll be sending them out promptly, signed of course.  They contain *all* the tarot art pieces plus one, but do not contain the puzzle bottom or backs of the actual tarot which will be out in the fall. So, this is for people who would like a very very limited edition piece, and want it just for the art, from the artist.  It has an alternate back which is super cool, btw - only these decks will have that back.  So, just pop me a pm if you would like to pick one up - I'm beginning to have my doubts that I will have any left for Gencon!
