Stories guide us toward intuition and creativity, whether they are narratives we understand about our own lives through tarot, or the tales we create with our friends in roleplaying games. The Fablemaker’s Tarot and Oracle decks are inspired by the Dungeons & Dragons roleplaying game and incorporate themes of fantasy, adventuring, and overcoming challenges. Storytelling is the beating heart of Fablemaker’s Tarot and Oracle Decks, whether it be your story or your favorite character’s story.
Stunning Art
Art is central to storytelling in the Fablemaker’s Tarot and Oracle Decks, connecting you with the themes and characters depicted. We pride ourselves on beautiful artwork by skilled artists from around the world.
Every card is hand illustrated—and in the case of the Fablemaker’s Animated Tarot—animated. Each step of the Fool’s journey is beautifully brought to life with all twenty-two major arcana cards animated. The cards of the minor arcana receive the same premium treatment as the major arcana—all animated with lenticular technology.
The Fablemaker’s Deck of Many Things features Yoshi Yoshitani’s gorgeous illustrations in both color and monochrome. The color cards include bold jewel tones accented with dazzling gold, and the monochrome cards remind us that life is never black and white, and that there is nuance in shades of gray. The deck is also available with a beautiful holo-foil finish.
Guidebooks for Real Life
The guidebooks for the Fablemaker’s Tarot and Oracle Decks are written with care and designed to guide your interpretation of the cards, and help you dig deeper into the questions you want to contemplate when you do your reading. No tarot or oracle alone can solve your problems, but the cards can help you figure out what you want to do next.
You can use the guidebooks that accompany the Fablemaker’s Tarot and Oracle Decks to intuit tarot and oracle in your daily life. While the books are designed to accentuate the Fablemaker's Tarot and Oracle Decks, they can also be used alongside your deck of choice.
The guidebooks expand on the themes of the cards to help you interpret the rich symbolism in the art, and apply the cards’ meanings to your unique situation. Each card has its own entry and keywords to ground your navigation of the deck.
As well as a deep dive into the layers of meaning of the cards, each one is accompanied by several questions you can contemplate as you draw from the deck or do your reading. These questions are compassionately and sensitively crafted to help you understand your situation better and to guide your choices as you move forward and face your challenges.
For Roleplaying Game Fans
To add a roleplay twist to your readings, the Fablemaker’s decks include suggestions for tabletop-inspired spreads, such as for campaigns, characters, and stories. The decks also offer new game mechanics, such as class features for each Dungeons & Dragons 5e class, feats, and all-new mechanics tied to the cards themselves.
RPG Supplements
In addition to the oracle deck and guidebook, the Kickstarter campaign for the Fablemaker’s Deck of Many Things funded several stretch goals for supplementary material.
