Ever since Alyc and I started working on the Rook and Rose books, we've had an ambition: to make the pattern deck which features heavily in the story into a real, illustrated set of cards.
At long last, it is coming.
Or rather -- as you'll see if you click that link -- the Kickstarter is coming. Paying for art from real! live! human! beings! costs money, so coming next month, we will be crowdfunding the deck. Right now you can sign up to be notified on launch, which is a very helpful thing to do; not only does it ensure you won't forget, but having more pre-launch followers increases our visibility on Kickstarter, which in turn increases our chances of reaching our funding goal. So if you like the idea of the deck existing (as something other than the blank deck I marked up with Sharpie for writing purposes), sign up to be notified, and tell your friends!
It'll be more than just the deck, too. We'll be providing rules for games to play with the cards, and there will be rewards and add-ons ranging from signed books to tea blend samples to bespoke clothing to me and Alyc running an online one-shot RPG for you and your friends. (Yes, really: that will be on offer.) So even if the deck itself is a relatively small draw, we may have other things you want . . .
