Corrupted Tarot -- KS artist collaboration. Are you backing?

[Wyrdkiss]

Who has seen this collaboration of over 70 artists in a unique deck on Kickstarter?

It is funding in 2 days. Some of the art is ... mediocre. But others are so alluring and unique. Stephanie from Chromatic Fates is

involved as art director.
I am considering this one, even though I swore no more KS!

I went ahead and decided to do this one because a few of my favorite artists are in on it, and Wyrmwood is very reliable with getting their orders out and producing a quality product.

 

I seldom do multi-artist decks, for the very reason you indicated (as well as lack of cohesiveness of the art)--Cosmos is a key example here, along with Ostara. (Nothing against anyone who likes those, they're just not for me.) But I made an exception for this one since they showed it all up front, allowing me to assess the entire deck beforehand.

Yes that is a selling point to me as well.

 

There are no stretch goals, no benefit of ordering early, however.  In some ways this is encouraging, as it makes fulfillment easy.  On the flip-side, however, one may be hard-pressed to 

decide to back when it can be purchased direct later, after they've proved their delivery and quality.  I'm still on the fence.

 

WHo is your favorite artist included?

My experience here has been some decks don't get reprinted or in large quantity, and become hard to get later--Fyodor Pavlov's deck is a great example here. OTOH since Wormwood is a full-fledged company I imagine they can afford to.

Sam Guay (who did the Blood Moon Tarot) was an immediate draw, as well as Natasa Illincic (she has a Witch's oracle out at the moment and is working on a complete Tarot) and Xia Hunt (Children of Litha Tarot). (I think Hunt did multiple cards.)

Yes, The artists I know sucked me in...

Nice @gregory, I hope you enjoy it.

 

I'm wondering how I would use this deck at all.

I would certainly like to, but every card image reversed in meaning may require some creativity.

I'll let you know !
