I've read through the "Stuff I wish I had known when I started..." thread and have a question that I don't think was really answered there. I've been developing a deck for some time now, and I was looking to get an opinion from a larger community on how appropriate something like this would be.
My deck is based loosely on the traditional 78 card Tarot deck, but is heavily re-imagined through the lens of a culture in my story universe. What I've come up with is a 70 card set featuring 25 in the Major Arcana, and 3 suits with 15 cards apiece. As I work with my artist, we've been nailing down all the imagery on the cards and weaving related symbols through cards as best we've been able.
I've written a good first draft of the meanings/readings of all the cards and histories of the major arcana. I've put into context how they can be read, and given examples of how the set can be used in more traditional reading configurations.
Is this something that the larger Tarot community would likely find acceptable? So long as I've defined all the meanings and relations of the cards, do you think others would be interested in buying the deck? I've put some significant work into it so far, and I'm right now at the stages before I begin investing some money into the project. I'm just looking for some advice from people more experienced in the subject.
Also, this is my first post outside the introduction forum. Hello, all!
