Recently there's been a lot of talk of Tarot Cards (not the uber cool admin - though we do talk about him!) and PCs using them. We've got so many inquiries that it gave me an idea. We have some incredibly talented Mizaharians on board. Most of you are adept at Photoshop. So... why don't we create a unique tarot deck just for the game to add to the Wiki? I've gotten us started by doing 'The World' which seems fitting for me to be the one to get this going with....
So... would you like to play? I have my original PSD file available via AIM (since I don't know how to host a psd file here). I can even probably find the deviant artist who generously created the group of textures I used... or make that file available to you as well. However, if you want to create a Tarot Card, you have to play by my rules. That means... you need to follow the same format, though images, colors, and frame colors can vary. You also need to write out the description of the card for the Wiki. I'll get into the descriptions a bit later... but there's a ton of great resources on the net for Tarot Cards and their meanings...
So, if you want to claim 'dibs' on a card or comment in this discussion feel free. I'll place your name by the card and you have until SUNDAY to post one up.
Bonus Points if you create spreads. If you don't know what a spread is - perhaps you shouldn't play
The Model Meaning: The World Card represents a coming together, a successful conclusion, a complete accounting, and definitely someone or something coming full circle. A great representation of this is when the races of sentient creatures first realized the harsh weather of the Valterrian had stabilized and started venturing forth from their subterranean habitations. It was the completion of one phase in history and the beginning of another. All four elements are included in this card in abundance and it can often represent a perfect balance or an equilibrium established. People who draw the World in their spreads are often ready for a new phase of their life or even death - which in itself is a new beginning. The World also can indicate a job incredibly well done in which success is inevitable and celebration or praise forthcoming. |
The Rules
Size: 4X6
Font: Abaddon Font
File: PSD Tarot Template (PSD File - You Must Have Photoshop CS2)
Texture: Available Here
Dibbs: You must call dibs on your cards in advance or simply post up a completed card if no one has spoken for it.
Limits: You can do as many as you'd like, but only call dibs on one at a time if you want to do them 'later'. When the one you've already called dibs on is complete, then you can call dibs on another one! If your card does not match, we reserve the right to alter it to make it match. Please try as hard as possible to make fonts and styles similar.
