Decan Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 2 minutes ago, Wyrdkiss said: After further review it is too angelic for me, but it does indeed seem to be a nice pack @Decan. I've been burned by Tarot Kick starters, however, so that is another reason to refrain at this point if not fully enthused. Happy to share though -- I hope you pick it up if you like it. I appreciate to see what's new on Kickstarter from time to time (on the forum) but didn't back for a long time. Anyway it's important to look closely at the offer, that way there is no regret later.

katrinka Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 It's a hard "meh" from me on those last few. They're not bad per se, they just don't do anything for me. Nothing makes them stand out or makes me think I need them for anything. If anyone needs de-enabling, I am, as ever, available. 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niobium Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 I've been keeping an eye on the Baroque Tarot; I like it overall, still trying to decide if I want it. LaMucci's decks have been very nice overall, so I'm tempted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aeona Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 I like the vibe but the way some of the images are collaged or cut/pasted into the art is a little rough, almost clumsy looking. I can't decide if I like the deck or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katrinka Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 If you're on the fence now, imagine what it would be like once you've spent the money, have the deck, and still feel ambivalent. Seriously, sometimes even "OMG I MUST HAVE THAT!" decks end up gathering dust. "I'm on the fence" decks are worse, IME. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aeona Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 One of the reasons I'd consider it, is that I have a hole in my collection, I lack any decks that have actual realistic humans, (as opposed to cartoonist) at least as far as the decks that I use. I did recently order the Key tarot which is mainly people in photo collage. So after I get that, if it vibes with me, I won't need another human subject deck. I do like how a lot of the backgrounds in the Baroque look like storm clouds, I love anything dark and stormy looking. I am definitely on the fence, and my budget does need to be considered.

Aeona Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 On the other hand, I did back the Tarot of Minchiate which may or may not achieve funding, because the historical aspect is interesting to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

katrinka Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 Hmmm. I already have an Al Leone, but I hardly use it because the stock is really chintzy. I don't think it would stand up to much use. https://tarotbg.eu/en/spanish-tarot-decks/263-tarocchi-minchiate-al-leone-.html The one on Kicktarter says "350gr 2-sided coated cardboard, with matt film" I'm guessing that means "350 gsm, matte finish"? It doesn't mention a carbon core or anything, just "cardboard", but does sound more substantial than the deck I have. I'm on the fence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gregory Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 Yeah me too - and that it's in Spain, so the postage is bearable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niobium Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 So here's one on Indiegogo: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/adventure-time-tarot-deck/x/24427559#/ I love Adventure Time, so I'm all over this one. Love the artist's art as well. She's in the UK, too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlbaTross Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 Well, I went from not having much interest in monochrome decks to investing in one, and now being intrigued by another one: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katrinka Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 This stands out. Most Kickstarter decks are from artists who don't know Tarot well. But this one says: "I simply decided to never paint a card until I feel that I truly know it by heart and before I learned all of its life lessons, and this turned out to be quite a gargantuan task in the long run. I spent most of that time with study, research, practise, travelling adventures and survival. Getting busy with life and observing it carefuly. In order to fullfill all the requirements that this work asked of me, I had to gradually master quabalah, astrology, magick, eastern martial arts and of course – art of painting for which I had no formal education." Watch the video. (I love this guy's house!) The deck is full of Thothy goodness. Check out "Horus" at the end, too. 😁 https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/sagus93/surfers-paradise-tarot-and-fools-guide-to-galaxy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niobium Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 A new one which uses poetry as keywording: I've been following this artist and I'm not sure I'll back the deck, but I do like the art aesthetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregory Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 I like the idea - but not the art of the Sun - the only one I have looked at closely.... And - I no longer back ones from the US - the cost to get it here is just OTT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niobium Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 Another one from the folks who did Cat Tarot de Marseille, Wheel of Fortune Tarot, and numerous others: I love the cute little folk-y style. Do I need another cat deck? No. Am I going to get it anyways? ...probably. 😐 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niobium Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 I come bearing new temptations. First up, a deck with a distinctly Mouse Guard feel: Next, we have the second edition of the Meraki Tarot: This edition is borderless, for those who held back on the prior one for that reason. I'm going to back this one and sell my first edition, since I like this new look a good deal more. Lastly, a super cute Alice in Wonderland deck: I have another deck by this creator and it's really well made, so this one looks promising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I backed the MIMIT - something about the campaign description really charmed me (it talked about how the mice in the cards would fit into your palm the same way the cards do) plus it's an European deck for once so no customs!

That should removed them from your Saved list 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niobium Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Hooo boy This is *three* distinct versions of the 5th Edition of the Broken Mirror tarot. The art is NOT the same between them all. !!!! Damn it. x.x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregory Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Yeah. I have one edition; how much do I.... That set of 6 minis - are these three new ones among them - the image is very SMALL.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
