I'll be updating this in the future if there's some glaring issues with some of the effects.īe warned, these effects are a lot more potent than what you'd find in the original Wild Magic table found in the Player's Handbook.
#RAVENLOFT TAROKKA DECK DRAW FREE#
Please feel free to criticize it/use it/disregard it to your heart's content. The problem with that approach was that a lot of the cards felt pigeon-holed or completely out of place. So I originally had plans to use Arcane Games' Eldritch Wild Magic for Ravenloft only I just erased the percentages and put a sort of fitting card next to the effect. I find the changes reasonable since they often fix things that I felt broken in the original Tarokka. Guildsman now depicts a troupe of travelling musicians instead of merchants at the table. Some have only changed names, but Esper has been replaced with a wildcard of Hero (consider the fool in a regular Tarot deck). Note that some cards have changed since the original Tarokka deck. He has also credited Stephen Fabian with some 'After Fabian' cards which are redraws of the original Tarokka. I am glad that Talon is still among the living after jumping over such a shadow of himself. Every card has its own flavour due to the suit and a few cards feature touch ups to brighten the flames of the torches and some spell effects. There are no colours used exept a few very welcome touches. The backsides of the cards are quite neutral looking, they only have a copyright notice by the Wizards of the Coast printed unto them but it can help you in getting reversed and unreversed readings so I find it to be a welcome thing. That said the deck is still superb in its design, the cards are quite big, (about 4mm smaller than their pictures in the RLDMG) and the booklet in the form of cards is informative and also has a few ideas. I would also like to whine that the Fortuna Magna has their names written on too ugly banners that seem a bit out of place. The pictures are mostly marvellous, some very good and a few have some little nitpicks that I could relate to the artist's deadline.įor example - the Fortuna Magna has a few cards whose background features some quite simple flowers - ones that Talon would never usually allow onto his pictures. On the downside the cards are a tad too yellow to my taste and their coating might peel off through extensive use. There's no way to get to that without including the Tarokka deck, and you still have some pages left for the map sheet and the dikesha labels.īad things first.
