i emailed lar - the creator of stick figure tarot!!! i have this deck. i told him how much everyone asks for this deck and this was his prompt response: Quote: Thank you for such a wonderful note! :)_ I am glad to know there is still interest in the Stick Figure Tarot._ You may tell people there is a distinct possibility of it being resurrected in the future at some point, although in a more professional format._ I have been doing work for a small company that is beginning to produce card games and they have also shown interest in the Stick Figure Tarot to add to their card line._ However, there are no definite timelines at this point._ As much as I enjoyed producing the cards, it took an awful lot of my time to do it on the small home scale I was using and my professional illustration work has been steadily increasing._ As well, the prices for professional printing would necessitate an increase in the deck's price, although the level of printing would also be much higher, with the cards being done as a properly laminated deck with a box and everything. Once again, I have no timeline in mind and I'm too busy with other work to really pursue it at the moment too. Thank you again for your letter though :)_ I appreciate you taking the time to write. Later! Lar

I certainly would love to have this deck, I just love the simplicity of it. I also remember watching Stick Figure Theater on Liquid Television and somehow always liked the concept of complex things simplified to the highest degree so anyone could "get it".

When I first got into tarot (all of about 4 months ago!), I found pictures of this deck and decided that I must have it. I have a long time hobby of drawing lots and lots of stick people in classes when I'm bored so this seemed like the perfect deck for me. I was absolutely heartbroken when I found out it was OOP. I'm so glad to hear that there's even the smallest possibilty of it being published again. I can't afford the $200 some dollars that gets charged for it now. :) Kes

$200 for a stick figure deck? wow. i wouldn't give mine up for that little!!! $500 and perhaps, just perhaps i may let go of mine. i love it for the icebreaker that it creates with my clients. i pull it out and they laugh........."that's you deck?" and then i read with it and it blows them away! then i of course, pull out my scrying ball or my voyager deck........but it's a great deck to begin my readings with when i have a nervous client! heehee jade

I love this deck, it's amazing how much you can express with just a few lines ! But would I pay $ 200 for it ? maybe if I won the lottery. So let's hope it's going back into print again.

Oh I hope its soon My husband informed me years ago he wanted it, and being very poor I never had thwe money to buy it. Im shooting myself for not eating Ramen for a week to get it now (it was only 10 bucks afterall), and the price I could of got now is astronomical hehe Oh well at least Im NOT making that mistake again, when I see self published decks being sold at a reasonable price I must buy hehe, meaning Rock and Roll should be ordered soon before it sells out :) Got my eye on a couple other self publishes/limited editions too, have to see :THP

Ooooooooh! That's so exciting! I just found out about this deck, like, yesterday and I too just fell in love with it!! So simple, yet so powerful. Let's hope we see it in print again soon!!

I have wanted this deck for around 7 months now... And the wanting never gets any easier each time I see that deck! I really hope it is printed again.. Kiama *Yearning*
