(If you want the mess of my life update, watch the video. Otherwise, stick to the text for things about the project haha)

Welcome back to the end of our deck. The final cards of the House of Blood, and thus, the full deck now being visible on the campaign page. But let's take it one step at a time, by looking at our final five cards.

• 5 The Excess
  In our suit of Blood, we have The Endurance. It can be hard to overcome the journey we've been on here. To push the blood back into our bodies and force our hope to stay. Sometimes, we must understand that even parts of us are poisoned by the route we've taken. We must learn to lance the poison from our bodies, and free ourselves of trying to save the rotten parts we haven't had the heart to throw away.
• 6 The Ecstasy
  In our suit of Blood, we have The Feeling. The ecstasy of this hope is looking in the mirror and smiling. Even as we cry. It's feeling in our bodies again. Remembering who we are, how to feel, and knowing that even in hardship and difficulty, we can be happy again.
• 7 The Finale
  In our suit of Blood, we have The Living. To finally walk out of this house, this greenlit house of night, is to return to the world. Streetlights, cars, friends, the outside world awaits. We are now human again. The blood is in our veins, no longer in a bottle, in a creature, or something to steal or earn. We live it.
• Denizen
  In our suit of Blood, we have The Blood Letter. This is charlatans offering miracle cures and fixes. There are unique paths for each of us, and while we can learn from one another's journeys, do not take anyone serious who says that they know the one way forward. You have your own path. Do not be cheated this close to the end.
• Ruler
  In our suit of Blood, we have The Shadow. What we have learned from, grown from, healed from, is not gone. The ruler of Blood is the shadow of us that waits back in the green lit house of night. It is not dead. It is learned from, grown from, and departed. But do not ever mistake yourself for becoming something or someone new. We grow, change, but we do not lose what went wrong, nor do we lose the lessons from its learning. Respect the dark.

The Final Cards VOTE!

Enoch and I are actually at an impasse, and could use help! Please vote in the comments for the version of the Living and the version of the Shadow you most prefer! My idea was for it to be the Living person leaving the house, but The Shadow staying there, waiting there. In the original attempt, which is Enoch's preference, we have them both in the same doorway of the house. In the second version, my preference, we have The Living framed in the door heading outside, leaving into the world, with the Shadow in the living room doorway, waiting inside.

The Full Deck!

Our houses are all now realized. And that means... The deck is complete.  Well, there is still the upcoming deck back, but still. It is complete. Go back to the campaign page, scroll down through the full thing, top to bottom, and appreciate what it has become for us. Truly an amazing thing. We did it.
