winneganfakeFirst off, for those who missed it yesterday, or anywhere else I posted it up- I now have a Tumblr account, should you want to add it. There may be original bits showing up on there, so it might be worth your while- right now, I'm still more just spending time learning the interface and putting up some of the current/past work.

Secondly, don't forget about the Big freakin' print sale, which ends on MONDAY. Last chance until christmas season to get stuff on a discount, probably.

And finally, here- have an unedited snippet from the book for the Windrow-Ravenswood deck:
...While many of the cards in the deck had extensive documentation in Zebulon’s old journals, notes, and sketchpads, there is one section of the journals that was, for lack of a better term, incomplete. This section referred specifically to Major Arcana cards, as if the Windrow-Ravenswood deck was indeed intended to be a full tarot deck at some point, instead of the more pedestrain player’s deck.. Sadly, the notes describing cards were thin, light, as if they referenced some other set of journals and sketchpads that were either destroyed by the ravages of time, or otherwise lost to us. As it is, the notebook that did contain the few notes we have was also one of the volumes damaged in the fire that nearly destroyed the Windrow property in 1947.
What did survive, despite it’s incompleteness, is downright tantalizing, and unlocks a world of questions about just what kind of dark influences were acting on Zebulon when he created the deck. But these two remaining cards are what has been adapted into the pair of jokers used in the player’s deck. What follows after these two cards are the remnants of Zebulon’s notes for the rest of the Arcana- unfortunately some were completely indecipherable, but it does at least give a clear picture of what some of the remaining thirty-one cards should be...
