A D&D-inspired tarot deck featuring paragons of each major race. The exemplars of their people represent the major arcana, and simple but vitally important adventuring gear represent the minor arcana.
I sense you are on a quest for treasure and adventure! Look no further, for I have seen in the cards that your journey through the realms of D&D will lead you to a most fortuitous discovery...a collection of enchanted tarot cards reflecting the essence of the heroes that will guide you on your path to victory. Each card possesses its own unique magic and will serve as a reminder of your conquests.
Do not hesitate, dear adventurer, for destiny awaits and the future is yours to unravel! Take hold of these precious artifacts and let the fates guide you on your journey.
We begin with The Fool.
Human. Former warrior. Happily walking through his fields, gathering his harvest.
He is untroubled, ready for adventure. A simple life and opportunities still lay ahead.
Where will his journey lead next?
From The Fool, we move on, turning another card, and another.
The Chariot. The Star. The World.
Justice. Temperance. The Tower.
Each one is a paragon of their race, an exemplar, the ideal their people work to achieve.
Embrace these guides, and accept the wisdom they impart to shape your future paths.
Our initial goal will complete the remaining major arcana art in our set and get the deck to print, using available stock art and our social media gremlin's Photoshop skills to arrange the minor arcana for a complete deck. But let's not stop there!
Our first stretch goal is to have our art team work on the pentacles, to customize them with simple original art showcasing the suit in a way that best reflects TTRPG adventures. In this case, pentacles as golden coins of the realm.
The next goal is to do the same with swords. As you can imagine, there's a lot we can explore with 14 different sword cards!
Next up is the cups. The main theme of these will center around bottled potions and brews, like the ones below.
Rounding out the minor arcana, we come to the wands. Druid staves, Wizard wands, and Cleric holy symbols abound!
Our final goal, should we reach all of these, is to enhance them with more detailed art instead of just simple graphics. Characters, backgrounds, scenes: expect more of everything in each minor suit, not just the suit representatives themselves.

In collaboration with Unphazed Games, we will be offering a stained glass enamel pin created from on of their card designs. It will feature some screen printed details over stained glass that allows light to penetrate the design like the old cathedral windows.
Unphazed Games will be offering a bonus special ability card featuring Justice from our deck, that should look something like the above.
Backing both our deck and their game gets you the pin and the card for free. That's right, free! Support both campaigns, get free stuff!
The deck will be made from Premium 11.4-pt. thickness, 310 gsm black core card stock from German paper manufacturer Koehler. Should we unlock all minor arcana suits and detailed artwork, we may upgrade to the fancier Embossed 11.0-pt. (280 micrometers) thickness, 320 gsm, black core stock.
When you participate in the campaign, you are given the option to pledge at any of the open pledge levels. You can choose the level that best suits your interests and budget.
It is important to note that your payment method will not be charged until the end of the campaign, which gives you plenty of time to decide whether you want to increase, decrease or even cancel your pledge.
Once the campaign concludes, you will be charged for the cost of your pledge level only (and any add-ons). You don't need to worry about shipping costs until the products are ready to ship, in May 2026. We may fulfill sooner but would rather overestimate than underestimate, particularly with the state of tariffs currently affecting manufacturing and shipping.
When you receive the BackerKit survey, which will be sent to you roughly 3-4 weeks after the campaign ends, you will confirm your pledge - with an option to upgrade to a higher tier - add your shipping address, and review any add-ons you pledged for. This survey is designed to help the campaign creators to fulfill your order and ensure that you receive the items you pledged for. Add-ons will be charged separate from shipping after survey completion.
You'll have the option to add extra items, such as stickers, enamel pins, and even Fool's Moon's ttrpgs in the optional add-ons section. It's important to remember that add-ons are entirely optional, so you only need to choose them if you want them.
Shipping will only be assessed and charged once the products have arrived and checked for quality, and are ready to send out.
Shipping will be charged separately - AFTER THE CAMPAIGN.
*International backers are responsible for any VAT or other fees.
**Australia backers: we have shipping arrangements with another creator that will combine all pledges in one shipment to Australia, and the local person receiving will then post the individual orders locally, so you can save on costs.
These are some of our fellow creators we think you should know about! And if you back at least four Tarotopia projects, you'll receive a free tarot cloth. Each project has a collab partner, like we do, and if you back both you get free stuff from each of them too. The more you back, the more free stuff you get!
Thank you for taking the time to check out our campaign, and a very special thank you to everyone who are returning backers! You're all amazing, and we are truly humbled by your generosity. May the cards favour you and the fates guide you!
