Second Itchfunding Goal -- REACHED!


This is a pretty big step, folks. I waffled hard on whether I wanted to include Tarot interpretation tables in this game. I strongly believe in leaving it to readers to interpret their own cards, but I got enough feedback from enthusiastic gamers who weren't at all familiar with Tarot to slowly lead me around to wanting to make these tables happen!

There are going to be challenges: I need to figure out how to add interpretations that are narrow enough to work for each card (as well as work in references to both the Marseille and Rider-Waite systems) but broad enough to allow still for the multiplicity of art out on the market, as well as add reverse meanings and appropriate adventure hooks. And that's even before layout! So this effort is going to add quite a number of hopefully very useful pages to the game.

I'd like to be able to complete all this by the end of the Itchfunding campaign, so you can have a complete game with the index (which is all done!) and at least the text of these brand new tables by December 1st. This is, granted, a rather ambitious timetable, so I'm setting myself a hard December 25th  final deadline for text and layout as a Christmas/solstice gift to both you and to myself.  At the very least, I'll have updates out on both dates, with pictures of my progress so far.  Eagle-eyed backers may have noticed that the screenshot of the ToC has been updated to include the complete index already! (see above) Alas, adding tables will change this somewhat -- hence why I haven't added it to the downloads section yet -- but it's nice to see the progress as it happens.

Thank you so much to all the backers who made it possible for me to carve out the time to do this! Your generosity has also ensured lots of community copies: I update those daily, so they disappear fast. I've also realized that once these updates are completed, it would make sense for me to up the price on the final game. Backers will always have access to the most recent digital files of this edition without paying extra, so thank you for getting in on ground level and making all this happen! Your support means the world to me.
