ANNOUNCEMENT: MORE ACT 6 TAROT PROJECT NEWS

As you all have probably noticed, the PDF Booklet of the full deck for the Act 6 Tarot Project has not been released yet. We promise that this project is still very much active, and that there is a good reason for the suspension of a booklet release at this time.

We have even bigger and better things coming, and we’re very, very excited to share them with you! Please keep an eye out for us during the next few months, and you might just see some more information coming your way...

Stay tuned!

[act6tarotproject-blog]

And that’s all! (Almost?)

Now that the entire deck has been posted, we have just one more final update coming to you all regarding the Act 6 Tarot Project!

A PDF booklet containing the high resolution card images (for both the Major Arcana and Minor Arcana) will be available in the near future. The booklet will also contain a backing for the cards, as well as a credits list for all of the artists who participated in this project. 

You should expect that to come in the next few weeks. After that, the deck will be freely available for anyone and everyone to use if they so wish.

Thank you all for your support in this anthology project so far! And please look forward to the last stage of our work!
