It's now a prize (I take that as 'limited edition'?) on their site, called the 'Dimension of Lame' Tarot Deck. I'm not sure how well this would read, but it's fun. Six sample cards in two small 'readings' pictured over here-- http://www.sluggy.com/slugween/prizes.htm

What a delightful little oracle. :) A bit of a stretch to call it tarot but I'm sure it would read amusingly. ;) Look at the messages we're getting on the link: "Death will get you in bed." "Happiness is your best friend, me Hearty!" Delightful! :laugh:

Thanks for posting this HudsonGray. That is really a cute and funny deck !

No fair to post about something we can't get our greedy paws on! :D

Welll..........why not try to make a deck LIKE it, I say! It's pretty rare to find something really off the wall (Like the Lemony Snicket book). I sort of classify this thing along the same line as the Misfortunetelling Cards. Remember those? Cool idea though. Anyone want to take a stab at doing one of these decks?

There's good news folks! I emailed Tom Ricket, who runs the site's 'store' page, about being able to purchase a few of the Dimension of Lame decks now that Halloween is over with. Here's his response: ------------------------------------------------------------------- "I suspect that won’t be a problem. Pete is actually the one who has everything, so I’ll send your note on to him! Tom" -------------------------------------------------------------------- I guess Pete (the artist of the strip) had the decks with him for the conventions they were taking them to. With luck I'll hear an answer in a few days & can post something more.

That would be great Hudson. I am an old fan from Sluggy, and I tried to get my hands on the bags, but the shipping price of $65 dollars kind of held me off. (International shipping *sigh*) The folks there are very sweet and understanding. Keeping an eye on this thread!

Wow that's great news, Hudson ! How good of you to ask - I had assumed they just would not be for sale ! Kahlie - $ 65 for shipping a BAG ?? Jeez...

Kahlie	01 Nov 2004
WolfSpirit, I assumed that the Decks would be only sold at the convention, just as the bags originally where only sold there. The bags come through Dicepouch, not the sluggy store. So, the artist, and the normal people who work with the store, have nothing to do with the shipping quotes I sadly received. Paying 30$ for a bag, and then 65$ for the shipping to Portugal is just too much for me :(

I'm shocked he couldn't just slide that into one of those $5 global priority mail envelopes, it would certainly fit! If you had more than four of the bags ordered, I'm sure they'd fit into the larger $9 size envelope. I bet he has no concept of the options the post office has available.
