Well in spite of the efforts of my real life to overshadow the Emperor's Tarot project - I have finally completed all the meanings of the cards, updated the list on my Tarot page [link] (all completed cards are linked from here as well as in my DA Gallery) and set up all the cards to wait for their art.

For those who are unaware Fantasy Flight Games [link] now has the licence to produce the Card, Board and RPG games in the GW universes, hence are producing Dark Heresy and Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay.

In Memory and Thanks for all those who made contributions to getting Dark Heresy released I really want to get this project completed as a tribute to the efforts of all who have made this game such a success, and so that the community can use it to give more life and depth to their own adventures. Perhaps it will inspire more creativity.

To finish things off we need more artists recruited to the cause, so if you can help, please send me a note.

More information on the project can be found at the BL Publishing Forum [link] (and the Old Black Industries forum [link] ) and The Anargo Sector Project [link] On Warseer [link] and others that I will link here as we go.

THE DETAILS:
There are 78+ cards in the Deck, and we are completing two decks simultaneously - Deck I is in a concept style with interpretation on the card (to be easier to use especially if you're not familiar with tarot or 40K), Deck II is more traditional in appearance.

We have the template and description done for all the Major Arcana Cards, as well as the Minor Arcana - Discordia, Executeria, Adeptio, and Mandatio. Some cards have art promised, some delivered, and the rest are desperately looking for talent to help them achieve greatness.

As people will be able to construct their own deck by downloading the cards/style they like, there is no reason we can't have more than one image for a specific card, so if you see one up already and it was one you wanted to do, do it anyway - the more the merrier. In keeping with the concept of the Emperor's Tarot, the images were actually not set, but appeared in response to the psychic impulses of the reader, the Emperor and the situation... this will also add more depth to use in game.

As said, the cards will feature on a download site so players can construct their own Deck to use, but we are also planning a computer program with inbuilt layouts to provide readings for fun, RPG and general interest. A special thanks to CELS over at the ASP for his work in developing the layouts, and to RS our Techpriest for developing the program.

Each Card will be 80mm wide by 120 mm high (finished), a 2:3 aspect. The same image will be reduced or cropped from Deck II to Deck I. Artist's details will be included on each card, and on the website, and credit pages.

Special thanks to those who've signed on already,

We hope you will join us, In the Name of the Emperor.
