Le Fanu
In another thread I saw some off-topic comments about decks that had been published this year.
It really struck me; this has been an amazing year for decks, and it's still only August! Much better than the usual crop (not crap ). Very often, when I have to vote for "best deck", it's either very easy because there is only one I really like or very easy because there are none I like.
But this year I'm going to be spoilt for choice.
Mary-El, Victorian Romantic reprint, Gilded Royale, Pierre Madenié, Ghosts & Spirits, Zombie, Steampunk etc etc. There are just loads. Not to mention those yet to come like the Son Tarot and Book of Shadows.
Is it just me or is year shaping up to be one of the best ever? What are your impressions of the year so far? I also wonder, idly, which year in recent history had the most popular decks published...Maybe it's actually 2012? If the world does end this year, what a way to go out in tarot terms!
So I shall...Please, let's keep discussion in this thread on the Gilded Tarot. If folks want to discuss the best decks of the year, please start a new thread.
