Okay, just a credits post today. Things are locking in place and I'll have more to share next week, but I'm exhausted and I'm going to just eat food and play some games today. You are all AMAZING. Thanks for your support, this project has meant the world to me. I was on my last creative leg. I've been very broke for a while now, and if this project hadn't done at least okay, I would have given up my year-long stint of trying to go self-employed. But you guys did it, and though I'm not making nearly as much $$ as people seem to think on this, I'm still making more than I've ever made in a year in my life, and that is incredible.
Thank you. <3
We start today's credits... with me! Surprise haha.

Last credits post will be coming up next! I just finished the design for the tarot cloth, waiting on a price estimate still on it before I make it an add-on. Let you all know as soon as I know!
(p.s. I have a weird niche love of the lore of Five Nights at Freddy's. I have reached out to the creator, Scott Cawthon, a few different ways, in hopes that he'd license a FNAF design into the deck. Just one card, I think it'd be fun! If anyone knows Scott and wants to pass that on for me, I'd love you! : P)

CREDITS #6 | 2nd Most Funded Tarot EVER
almost 3 years ago
– Sat, May 01, 2021 at 11:51:38 PM
Yesterday, faster than I'd expected, we broke the stretch goal! We're now the 2nd most funded tarot kickstarter ever, and that's awesome! By my math, we need to make at least $41,000 a day until the end to steal the #1 most funded spot, which is a bit scary, but possible. Note that the final 3 or so days tend to have a big uptick in pledges on campaigns, so it's very possible that we make it! Fingers crossed!
Additionally, each booster pack will now have a FOIL card in the 15th spot of their pack thanks to that stretch goal. I'm very excited to show you the second booster pack very soon.
(ps Artists are now making an extra $1,000 over their licensing fees, which is really cool haha)
Yesterday I started to hit the Disks in credits, today we finish them AND start to dip into the Fifth Suit-- the Strange Suit.
Dark Synevyr - Four of Disks
Rose Frye - Five of Disks
Danilo Sanino - Six of Pentacles
Emma Clinton - Seven of Pentacles
Hanna Tricoire - Eight of Pentacles
Tamara Duplantis - Ten of Pentacles
Eli Norvell - Page of Pentacles
- Find Eli online:
- @electronicbeth
Shan Bennion - Queen of Pentacles - The Undaunted
Nicolas Bruno - King of Pentacles
Noah S Brown - 4 of Keys

See you all again tomorrow for more, more, more! : )

CREDITS #5 | Updated stretch goals!
almost 3 years ago
– Sat, May 01, 2021 at 08:21:36 PM
Welcome back-- I know by now you are all getting just sick of me. But this is such a big campaign and so much happens day to day, I need to update all the darn time. Apologies for all the emails, but I promise it's always worth it! : )
When I started this project, I was focused on limiting the add-ons. The previous project had 28 or 29 add-ons and it was manageable but a lot of work. On here, we're now at 15 add-ons, with 4 of them being the fancy-pants items that only a few people got. I'd like to keep it at about that much. The only thing to be added from here will be the deck cloth, and the cheaper box + bag option, as soon as I have those figured out. (And the 3rd booster if we make it to 900,000). Still under 20, and that'll do for me haha.
STRETCH GOAL UPDATE
In an effort to avoid adding more items to the campaign, I'm updating what we have! We just passed Cosma Visions Tarot to become the 3rd most funded tarot campaign ever on here, which unlocked $200 more in bonus pay to artists-- but we're also on the verge of breaking the next goal to become the 2nd most funded tarot campaign ever on here. Originally that only unlocked $200 more for artists-- but I am now offering an upgrade on the booster packs! The 15th card in each pack will have foil, like the rare in a pack of trading cards!
Additionally, there's a new stretch goal at 1,150,000 for adding a 16th card to each booster, roughly halfway between the podcast stretch goal and the final one, to becoming the MOST funded tarot kickstarter ever. Just something fun I'm hoping you can all enjoy if we make it!
CREDITS
And with that, we're back to the Swords of this awesome deck, starting with the 3 of Swords from Samantha Lindbeck's Gaudmother tarot!
Samantha Lindbeck - Three of Swords
Lenny Magner - Four of Swords
Sam Dow - Five of Swords
- Find Sam here:
- IG @charm_illustrations
- Tumblr @charminglyantiquated
Sam also did the art for the entire Normal Tarot Gold Foil edition, which we're shipping in June! Check it out here!
Cephalopodunk - Six of Swords
Tim Hutchings - Seven of Swords
Liz Mamont - Eight of Swords
Corrin McCullough - Nine of Swords
Hether McCuistion - Ten of Swords
Sean Simmans - Page of Swords - Eight of Tentacles
El dios de los tres - Ace of Disks
See you again very soon! : )
(ps the 2nd booster is fully assembled, as soon as I have contracts signed, I'll share!)

FANCY BOX AND BAG ADD ONS LIVE IN ONE HOUR (NOON MOUNTAIN STANDARD TIME)
almost 3 years ago
– Sat, May 01, 2021 at 06:57:34 PM
Hello! First off, I need to stress that these are fancy-pants, hand-made add-ons from three different artists. They quoted me less than the items are being charged for on this campaign, but I need to acount for Kickstarter+Backerkit fees and mark the costs up to make them earn literally any money for the Kickstarter funds.
If you are not the kind of person who goes on a Kickstarter and sees the $500+ tier that has weird one-of-a-kind items thrown in, then this update and these add-ons are not for you. That's okay! If you're more like me and just get a basic pledge and rarely add on extra items, wait a few more days for the manufacturer-made bags and boxes which will be cheap, like all the other add-ons I've made for everyone to get, under $5 a piece as long as I can swing it. These items going live today are just for those wild collectors who want the fancy pants upgrades, and have the means to get them!
The hand-made items will be fulfilled with their orders by me, personally. They will NOT be going to the fulfillment center, and as such they will not cost anyone time or delay other orders while the fulfillment people wait for the items. Nothing I add to the project will delay it, period. Thanks!
THE FANCY PANTS ADD-ONS
At $225 a box, we have 150 Walnut boxes, hand-made to my specifications. They will fit the full deck + boosters, and have a special coin block that will hold the coin, and potentially also the poker chip. Design may change slightly, but this is the standard.
They are made by Cen Galdre of Galdrecraft!
There will be 3 different add-ons for this, with 50 slots each. One that will ship in September, one that will ship with your full order a month late in October, and another in November. This WILL delay your full order if you get one of the later slots, so be aware.
Find more of their work here! 100% reach out to them after November and commission them for some new work, or buy one of their standard tarot boxes with a sliding drawer-- they look great!
Cen is also making me 5 (just 5) boxes out of Wenge, a denser, harder, black wood in a unique puzzle-box style. These are 5 only, and are $400 a box.
For bags, we have two artists making bags!
First up is Alex Kelly-- find more from them in the previous update. These bags will have 50 slots and are $250 a piece and feature an applique of your choice: Ouroboros, Watching Eyes, Jackalope, Rat Skull, or Moth. They fit the deck snugly and have an additional pocket just for the chip+coin.
I think this bag is 100% what the Alleyman would use, so I got one for myself!
You can find more of Alex's stuff on tumblr and in this linktree!
And finally we have Rachel of Lady Latham's Cosplay Closet, making 1000 bags at $25. They are drawstring bags and each will be uniquely made out of 2-5 different fabric patterns, making each bag entirely unique! There is also a neat little pocket inside for your coin and poker chip. If you want a fancy bag that's not just another manufactured satin bag, these are hand-made and very neat!
Find more of Lady Latham's stuff on Insta and Facebook!
Each item will be an add-on with the starting word HAND-MADE at the front. They go up at Noon Mountain Standard Time, and will last until they run out. This is not artificial scarcity either haha-- I asked each artist what they felt they could complete in the time frame we had, and set the maximum slots to the maximum units they could make. So please give them time after the Kickstarter if you want something else made, they'll be able to as soon as this project is over, if they want to take on new work! : P
The deck is already coming in a 2-piece box, so these items-- bags, boxes, are entirely extra options. If they aren't for you, that's fine! They aren't for you. I'll have some cheaper options for people coming up soon, so be on the lookout! Thanks for all your support, and absoulutely give the artists a shoutout if you like their work! After the Kickstarter I bet all 3 would consider extras or variants, you just need to reach out and ask! Thanks~
Seven,
your Publishing Goblin
