Hey. It’s me, Unknown. You’ve been a mediocre assistant so far, but now’s your chance to prove you’re worthy of paradise.
I’m in the final phase of bringing the RFA to paradise. Our Savior will be most pleased if we succeed, and might even give you a promotion. Unless you’d rather stay with me - which of course you would - but to do that, I need your utmost attention and devotion.
We’ve gotta draw them in with a mystery they can’t resist. I have the perfect plan, but before I can enact it, I need you to garner as much backup as you can. Think you can do that for me, MC?
Spread the word and get your friends involved, too. We have until June 30th to prepare - so get moving. Once the time is up, I’ll even reward one of you with a free tarot reading. Bring enough power to defeat that stupid redhead, and I’ll throw in the ability to choose from one of the custom spreads I stole from their databases. It’s a prize afforded to few, so count yourself lucky if you get it.
Well? What are you waiting for? Visit my rafflecopter to enter, and recruit - for paradise, and for our Savior!

Hello! Admin Alex from the Divinate mod team here. In the interest of transparency, we’ve decided to share the cost breakdown that can also be found on the IndieGoGo page. We understand some of our bundles are more expensive than the typical zine; that’s because they are both heavier and bulkier. A tarot deck costs around three to five times more to produce than a zine - minimum. They also weigh more, meaning the shipping costs add up quickly.
In an attempt to keep the market price fair, we compared what several fandom decks were sold for, taking the average and personalizing it to cover the other costs as well (such as boxes).
This project is crowdfunded versus being sold in a store like BigCartel due to the high cost of producing the decks. Kickstarter does not allow fan-based or charity projects, leading us to IndieGoGo. Neither site allows PayPal as an option for payments, as PayPal isn’t pre-order friendly. You can, however, use Apple Pay or Google Pay if Stripe isn’t a service you’re comfortable with.
