Not sure if this is the appropriate place to post this, but here goes...

I am interested in organising a ray-traced tarot and was wondering how many
people would be interested in contributing to such a project.  I think it
would be cool for a bunch of pov users to get together to create a
tarot...if there is enough interest, I'll definitely go ahead with setting
up a site for it, etc., and maybe even if there isn't!  ;o)

Cheers,
Joe

Can't say now if I can contribute, but your idea stimulates a further step.

Animated Tarot.

Yeah, and then we just need a way to print out the animated cards.  ;o)

Really, though, that's a great idea.

Cheers,
Joe

Actually, I started work on a deck a while back then wandered off to other
projects.  Folks who wish to can take a look at the four cards I actually
finished here:

http://home.wyan.org/author/tarot.htm

Splitting up the work might be a good way of actually finishing a deck.
Also, it would incorporate multiple points of view, which I deem
particularly appropriate for the tarot.  It might be a good idea to set
basic visual and aesthetic themes (color palettes, textures, etc.) in the
early stages to give the finished deck a unified look.  The trick, I
believe, would be not to make these thematic guidelines seem too much like
"rules" that would inhibit the range and creativity of the artists.

In any event, the project sounds like a great opportunity to flex a few

know how I can help.

I like the idea of an animated Tarot, as well.  ;o)

Too bad we don't have a good medium for printing out animated cards.

I've had a couple responses to this via email...I think I will go ahead with
organising a little web page/gallery/bulletin board for this and link it
here...look for it in the next couple of weeks sometime.

Cheers,
Joe

Mike,

I've seen a couple of people now who started pov Tarots, but never with more
than a few finished cards.  I had the idea of doing it as well, but thought
I would probably end up stalling after a few cards, hence the idea of
making it a callaborative project.

Your suggestion about some basic guidelines to keep the deck coherent is
duly noted...who knows, maybe if the project is successful, it could be
done again with different themes, etc.?

Anyway, as I said in my most recent post, I think I will go ahead with
setting something up...more here in a week or two (hopefully).

Cheers,
Joe

Alright, I have a discussion board set up on my website for the POV Tarot
project (haven't posted anything as of yet, though), here's a link:

http://jceddy.com/v-web/bulletin/bb/viewforum.php?f=11

Space on jceddy.com has been allocated for the project at
http://povtarot.jceddy.com  ... althought nothing has been put there yet,
either...I'm currently working on it in the International Departure Lounge
of Glasgow International Airport, heading back to Minnesota for a month
after spending a year on an MSc in Edinburgh.

Anyway...I may or may not get more set up in the next half hour, otherwise
it will hopefully start congealing in the next few days as I stay up late
into the night fighting severe jetlag.  ;o)

Feel free to move any more discussion over the the message board on
jceddy.com, I will create a couple of threads there directly.

Cheers,
Joe

Hi guys,

did you ever take a look at

http://www.wortlastig.de/tarot/tarot.htm

That's a complete set of cards and a computer game.

Greetings,
