Plan and Current Status
🕑 Added 2021-11-25 07:41:46 +0000 UTC- It has been decided that there will be two sets of cards: the Deck of Many Fortunes, a collection of blessings and malisons for Ironsworn and Starforged in the form of tarot, and the Horizontal Tarot (art-only deck). The first will come in two formats: tarot-sized (text and art) and poker-sized (text only); the second deck will come in three sizes: tarot, poker, and mini (no digital, but POD only).
- This month's content will be the suit of pentacles for the Deck of Many Fortunes, Artist's Workshop videos (the making of the art for the suit of swords), and a quest front.
- The Patreon billing will be paused by January 1st. We need to make the final arrangements to release the Deck of Many Fortunes and the Horizontal Tarot, and no new content will be produced in December. Among those arrangements, the design of the tuckboxes, an expansion of the companion document, the receiving of the proof copies (thank you, Ben), and some other adjustments.
- As stated before, each tarot and poker-sized deck will come with their corresponding tuckboxes. This is something that particularly excites us because we are designing it to have a surprise in its interior, a revelation with the potential of increasing the narrative experience of the player. This tuckbox will also be delivered in digital format.
- All the cards from the minor arcana (48 cards) of the Deck of Many Fortunes will be renamed. The concept of each card will still be according to the tarot (2 of swords, 9 of cups, etc), but the cards won't be named as such. This aims to give each unit in the deck more uniqueness and flavor.
- Right after the release of the Deck of Many Fortunes and the Horizontal Tarot, we will start working on issue #2 of the Quest Fronts magazine. Our Patreon will return to the regular content program of 3 quest fronts and 2 assets per month, until the release of Starforged. The Artist's Workshop videos for the making of the art of the suit of pentacles will be posted when the Patreon billing gets resumed.
- All the artwork of the tarot cards has been revised. The documents in the Lorekeeper post will be updated accordingly.
- Several cards of the Deck of Many Fortunes have been tweaked for balance sake. The documents in the Lorekeeper post will be updated accordingly.
- The revision of the text in the companion document of the Deck of Many Fortunes has been received from the proofreader and will be applied very soon.
- All 80 cards from the Deck of Many Fortunes will be sent to the proofreader next month.
- The Deck of Many Fortunes is scheduled to be released by the end of December or early January. All patrons up to the release date will get the two versions of the Deck of Many Fortunes in digital formats and discount codes to get all the decks for the minimum cost of production (the print cost listed below according to the latest information provided by OneBookShelf); you're free to what you please with these codes, consume them or give them away. Your name will also be featured as a pledger in the companion document of the Deck of Many Fortunes.
If you have any questions or feedback, please feel free to ask and share them. Thank you so much for your support.
