We need a lot more people to sign up. Come on now, let's see your tarot spirit shine!!!!
As things progress, new instructions will be added.
Cards must be working size of 5x8.5 inches, (12.7cmX21.6cm). I will batch resize them to 2.5" x 4.25" or slightly larger. Save them as *.png not jpg, bmp, or gif. PNG retains all its pixel memory and will not degrade in use as jpgs do and it's more web friendly as a png. Save as 300 ppi for printing out.
The theme is Nature/Universe/Oneness in Nature. And try to be sort of RWS so that there is a theme structure to tie the cards together.
Dead line for signing up is February 11, 2018
The basic look of a card, the overall deck theme, and the card size are the only firm rules. The card can be digitally produced. There can be borders, but there doesn't have to be borders. There is no rule for borders. If you make a 3d physical card remember that it may not translate to a photo image very well, so I would test what it looks like throughout your process of making your card(s). You want to maintain its personality!

There will be a poll put up to pick a deck name. You can make suggestions.
"The Eclectic Forum Tarot Deck" or
"Our Eclectic Tarot Deck" or
"Universal Eclectic Tarot Deck"
If we get people working on it from
Cartomancy it will be called: The Eclectic Cartomancy Deck

original entry
It will follow a theme and be 2.5" x 4.25" and has to be less than 1/8th" or 3mm in thickness because they will have to be scanned. The the basic look of a card, theme and the size is the only constant or rules. It can be made out of any non-toxic material with out strong odor but it has to be able to be scanned. There can be borders, there doesn't have to be borders. There is no rule for borders.
Now here is the thing. Since i have know clue how many people are gonna sign up, there may be two or more cards per person. So, Just to start off, sign your name and how many cards you are willing to make. ie Gladys 2 or Joejimboybob 3 or pushyprincess (leave #1 blank). It doesn't mean that you will have to make that many, but it helps to have an idea. if we don't reach 65 once enough time has passed, then we make what we can. and then maybe have more volunteers to make cards.
Once i get the list. I will start at the top from first person to sign up to last person to sign up and draw cards from a deck, say 9 of pents is the first card i pull and will go to the first person on the list. Not to worry, if you say one card, you will get on one card pulled. hopefully the signup with be enough. But please, don't say three unless you can actually or are willingly able to do 3.
Now. You are the person responsible for writing up your card(s) stuff for the LWB which doesn't have a rule either other than, it be understandable and in english. But if you want, you can add you first language translation with it. That would be cool and in the characters in which you would write them. Like if you are russian, you would use russian print. I am being clear enough. Me a linguistics freak and i can't think of the term i want, it keeps coming out hieroglyphics or cuneiform. AARRRggghhhhh

I will post a thread for sign up and this one for comments. And as far as comments go, remember you are on a txt based forum and communicating via txt is not the best way. So Don't worry,just comment and be happy. Oh throw in the appropriate smilie or two.
The time limit will depend on how many people are signing up and how long its taking. Right now, along side of signing up, we are well varied in our cultural aspects so lets have some theme idea
