The Portal Tarot: The Apprentice is an easy-to-use, story-inspiring deck of high-fantasy Tarot cards by Larcenous Designs, LLC, makers of the Platinum-level bestselling GameMaster’s Apprentice cards on DriveThruRPG. This deck will be on Kickstarter from June 18th-July 16th!
Whether or not you’ve ever used a Tarot deck before, The Portal Tarot: The Apprentice will help you dive right in and begin using them for role playing, writing fiction, and even self-reflection. The 22 fully-illustrated Major Arcana offer beautiful art that lends itself to quick interpretation, while the 56 text-based Minor Arcana each display their own keywords and explanations, ensuring that you never have to stop to look up the meaning of a card. Even the included tuckbox can be unfolded to reveal useful knowledge!

With these 78 cards, drawing just three in a row to flesh out a character’s background, create a random event, or even “predict” what will happen in the next scene of a game provides almost half a million possible combinations! While they can certainly be used for occult-style Tarot readings (All arcane applications of the Tarot are for entertainment purposes only, and Larcenous Designs, LLC cannot be held liable for demonic possession, apocalyptic prophecies, or little Timmy spider-walking across the ceiling after playing with these cards at a sleepover), this deck is especially well suited to fantasy fiction and role playing, as I drew inspiration from writers like Roger Zelazny, Terry Pratchett, and Diana Wynne Jones.
