The Hierophant from the Divination RPG tarot deck, depicted here in a surreal style where their face is a door swinging open (with a key unlocking their forehead). They are holding a stone tablet out before them, and the writing on the tablet becomes a staircase on which tiny people are ascending up and through the open door. They hold up two fingers. Text reads: "It's the final two hours to back Divination RPG"

Text reads: "TFW one part of your brain is like" and we see a screenshot from an actual play of one player looking extremely devious. Further text reads: "While the rest of your brain is" and we see a screenshot of three additional actual play players with various degrees of shock and horror on their faces.

When you play the Hanged One, you’ll be the part of the Hero full of outsized focus, a figure focused on growing and letting go by placing themselves in a position to learn from difficulty.
Aspect Spotlight: The Hanged One
The Hanged One is one of my favorite tarot cards. I think all tarot people have cards they look for that will sell them on a deck if they’re good, and the Hanged One is one of mine. A lot of artists d...

The Shark may prepare any full-sized mirror to become a trap for the first human who makes eye contact with their reflection within it. That person becomes trapped inside the reflected room, which is a frozen facsimile of the world outside.
A young man pulls back a curtain covering a mirror and is just about to catch his reflection in it. Past him, the hallway is lined with ornate art nouveau mirrors, each of which seems to have a person trapped inside. All seem to be trying to warn him. At the end of the hallway, a tall lanky figure stands in shadow. The light from behind the figure casts their even longer shadow onto the floor toward the young man.

As the Hermit, you’ll try to lead the Hero toward lessons of survival, independence, profound thought, silence, and mystery which can only be learned when entirely alone.

The Hermit is who you are when you’re alone, and everything you can learn while you’re in that state. They’re all the things you can only learn in that state. I think the Hermit is a symbol of increas...

In our Temperance card we see an Artist going about their daily life when they stumble across a brave orchid struggling to grow in an alley. The Artist uses Transmutation to re-form what they have on hand—their favorite scarf—to water the tiny living thing.⁣
A modern interpretation of the Temperance tarot card. A person with short hair wearing jeans and a puffy jacket stands in a graffiti-covered alley. There are what appear to be angel wings behind them—are they part of the person? Or simply graffiti on the walls behind? The person stands next to a grate which has a small flower growing out of it. The person is holding their scarf between their hands, and the scarf appears to be transforming into water which runs into the grate with the flower. The art described in the previous image, but shown here in its full form, extended beyond the edges of the tarot card.

When you play the Hierophant, you pick a notion of service: an ideal. You may be a natural leader, finding and recruiting others that share that ideal with you, instilling an instinct to build and serve in them to match yours.

The Hierophant is the reassuring truth that wise people lived before you did and wrote down their best ideas, and the refinement of that process created the body of knowledge you live in without quest...

When you play the Emperor, you’ll be the Hero’s strength. They’ll love you when you save them from harm, but hate you when you force them to break up with the NPC you don’t like.

Aspect Spotlight: The Emperor
The Emperor is the divine masculine. He’s the old way, the way things maybe had to be in a more militaristic, lawless, and more violent world. Even if it isn’t really his prime era, he’s still powerfu...

When you play the Empress as an Aspect of the Hero, you play their connection to divine abundance. Your Powers reflect that in the ways they create energy for you and your fellow Aspects, and in how they establish and enhance your connections with others.

The Empress is the force of abundance—she’s everything you get to have when there’s more than enough resources to go around. That’s art, civilization, celebration, culture, pretty much everything we e...

The Artist pictured on our Chariot card experiences the promise of power offered by the Road of Two Lands. That power must be balanced—used with Temperance, you might say—to avoid falling into the traps of ego and hubris.⁣

We're 71% funded! kck.st/3HfwpxD
The Chariot card from the tarot. In this modern version, a person stands with one foot on a dark car and their other foot on a light car. Behind them are the shape of a lotus in the sky, and two gleaming cities in the distance—one light and one dark, echoing the cars. The person's eyes are closed, their palms out at their sides, and they look in control and at peace. The art described in the previous image, but shown here in its full form, extended beyond the edges of the tarot card. The art described in the first image once more, but this time mocked up onto a book laying open. The scene extends even further this time, with the light car stretching onto the facing page. That page reads "The Road of Two Lands" at the top, with some text too small to read filling the rest of the page.

The High Priestess is how you know right from wrong in your deepest heart. In Divination when you play the High Priestess, you write those convictions down in your symbolic Book and craft a Code of your choice, a law you’ll uphold at all costs.

Aspect Spotlight: The High Priestess
The High Priestess is a figure of conscience, of intuition, and of secrecy. She’s God as a woman, in the very-tarot language that describes woman as internal and man as external. Thinking of her as th...

When you play the Aspect of the Magician, you take on the voice of the decisive, goal-oriented spirit in the mind of your Hero. To the Magician, nothing matters but the pursuit of a divine goal, one that they’re called to create.

The Magician is the symbol of decisive, creative power. They’re swift action, impossible goals, creativity, and willpower. The Magician is what the Fool turns into if they live long enough to make it ...

Being an indie game designer means finding different ways to prototype your stuff. In the very early days of we used wooden tokens and drew the various symbols on them with Sharpie. This flashback from 2022 shows some behind-the-scenes when we started 3D printing them instead!
Several 3D printed tokens with various symbols on them laying on a piece of cardboard with spray paint markings all over it. Some are black, and others have a layer of gold over the black. There is a small sponge and tube of gold Rub'n'Buff laying open near them.
