The Final Hours of the Tyrian Tarot campaign are here.

It’s been a wild 37 days, and we’re finally at the end. Soon, we’ll be on to the next stages of the project - picking through add-ons, enjoying pretty art, and best of all, celebrating that we did so much good by embracing the creative community (we have over $15,000 going to charity!). 

>> Join the campaign, Commander.

If you’re interested in the @guildwars2 sponsored campaign - whether you want a deck for the tarot aspect or official concept art or a mix of that and more - be sure to secure your pledge before 11:59 PM PDT tonight (May 22nd). Once we close the doors to the campaign, that’s it.

THAT SAID, let’s do a giveaway. We have 800 gems here, waiting for you to take them home. We’re all secretly skritt and like shiny things. Share/note/like this post for a chance to win them; we’ll pull a name at the conclusion of the campaign. (Sponsored by @guildwars2.)

The countdown has begun!

Tyrian Tarot’s funding campaign goes live in one week.

If you’ve been following along, or are just seeing this project, thank you for the support! We have some ambitious goals in mind - including stretch, pledge and social media rewards - and your support is so important to us. Even small donations go a long way to supporting us and our chosen charity (International Fund for Animal Welfare, or IFAW). 

In the base deck, there are 78 cards covering each of the Major and Minor Arcana, and there are an additional 22 “Wild” cards that are unlockable through the campaign. Each and every card in the deck has been sculpted with love and care, and we’re sure that you’ll be impressed with all the work our contributors have put into them. 

You can add yourself to the notification list to know when the campaign goes live (April 15th at noon EDT) by adding your email here. We have some special and early bird deals available which will be limited.

The shots above are done by Enayla (visit her at @enayla), with her photographer Al Lin (website). The product stills were taken by Zorav.

[ Celebration Giveaway! Any note (comment, reblog or like) counts as an entry to a giveaway of 800 gems! No purchase of the deck is necessary to win, but you must be following the account. Entries close on 4/12, 11:59 PM EDT. We’ll pull a winner on 4/13! Sponsored by ArenaNet. ]

Introducing Our Invited & Returning Artists

At first glance, our invited and returning list might seem long. From it, I’m sure there are a lot of talented names that you recognize from previous projects, and some new ones too. The goal for these projects is simple: To create new @guildwars2 collaborations with the talent we’ve formed connections with, and to bring in new faces that grow the group in a positive way, learning from each other and creating something awesome in the process.

That said, with every new summer and winter project, you’ll continue to see reoccurring faces, while we’ll also always designate a specific number of openings for new members. We’re equally excited for both of these sections, as they are what make these projects so wonderful. 

I’m excited today to announce the official invited list for the GW2 Tarot Club (you’ll see a full list after applications close of our full lineup!):
