RES: [UA] UA Tarot - searching for ideas

[DL]

Ok, and another thing that matters....will be full color, or BW cards? BW
would make MUCH easier to download in a print form.

And about the WW Tarot's...i just know the Mage one. Anyway, i have also the
Vertigo Tarot (the most beautiful thing i ever saw, and what really drove me
to try to work with photography), thats is using specific characters all
around it.

And yes, like Ben Mulhuish put, would be nice to have the meanings already
in the cards. :)

I'm kind of against using specific characters from the
game world for Tarot cards.  Ww did that and it made
their decks seem very cheap and far too topical. It's
better, with something like this, to stay in the
abstract.

Also, I'd make the Avatars pop up all over the
backgrounds to the regular cards and give the major
arcana very abstract meanings.

So, like S. Ben Melhuish wrote, boil the Chariot down
to just "Victory" and work in a couple Avatars.  It's
tempting to make the Fool tarot coincide with the Fool
Avatar, but it might be more useful all around to make
the Fool card into "innocence" (or whatever) and have
the Fool Avatar play a part in it (Like having the
Fool Avatar stepping off a precipice and having some
other poor schmuck Avatar, the Martyr or Healer,
maybe, falling to their death while trying to catch
him.)
