Well that was easy. BOTH are USG so go buy chocolate ! (and yes, the copyright marks are right there. They GLOW !!!)
Yep, both USG, as greggers says. I've had the DM and it was a raving disappointment. I followed the creation thread and was dazzled, too, by Patrick's work. The fineness of his digital artwork was shredded by cheap, disrespectful production at USG, and the resulting product is grainy with many printing errors such as vivid blue lines through the whole image. The lamination is crazy-slick, and honestly, it's just not that readable a Tarot. It's too weird. Weird-saturation.lizziecat said:I want a Deviant Moon tarot just because it's one of the absolute best gosh-darn flipping brilliant artwork of any tarot to come out in years.
And of course I want the Commemorative Pamela deck.
If either (or both) are published by US Games that would probably be enough to stop me (I refuse to purchase any US Games deck until they take the copyright notice off the front of each card and put it on the back), but if not.....
Darn it, Kat - after reading that thread now *I* want a PCS100! And I still want a Golden Rider!thorhammer said:There is a review thread; while most of the reviews are clones and rave about how wonderful the postcards are (postcards??? I though we collected decks?), there is one voice of reason and moderation among them. Go read it and see.

Why??? Did you not see the voice of reason pouring oil on the churned-up waters of frothy Tarot fervour? That's all it is, you know - froth. It's the inch of visible air you pay a dollar for on your cappucino. It's a sellout, a cash-in and totally unworthy of Her Pixiness.sravana said:Darn it, Kat - after reading that thread now *I* want a PCS100! And I still want a Golden Rider!
I know, I'm nuts.

And what would you want a Golden Rider for? It looks like a child was given 78 paint-by-numbers pictures and only half the paint colours. The gold on the backs (and the fronts too) shows fingerprints and makes the whole deck look smudged and dirty. It's dingy, old, flat, lifeless and dark. I've lived in flats like that, and they were the most depressing times of my life. Ugh.

Yes, I did see that voice of reason - but the others were so *convincing*!
I mean, even Mary Greer likes it!
re: Golden Rider :::whimper:::
Listen here... and listen good.. ' If ' being the operative word..... and please take note of that word in the way it is used in this post together with 'could' and 'would'... okay?nisaba said:It's good to know that Greggors has done well, saving others from the Terrible Fate that has become her own. Mind you, she's been known to encourage me privately, even goading me into purchases! Never trust a de-enabler who owns many decks - they're up to something.)
