Carot

I have rediscovered an old project of mine and taken it up again: a set of cards for use in LRP fortune telling. If one uses tarot cards one risks drawing down the fury of the universe the ire of goth pickles everywhere, so I concluded that an alternate set should be devised.

This will not be a full and complete set (there may be other Turtles cards, for instance, but it is doubtful they will number from one to ten); I was intending to slavishly reproduce Pratchett's described Carot deck, but I soon realised that with eight suits of eight cards and four minor arcana, I would hardly have any cards remaining for interesting major arcana (I had bought 100 notecards). So I abandoned that and decided to draw whatever seemed funny at any given moment.

I am still trying to think of a way to represent The Importance Of Washing The Hands, and The Your Wife Is Sleeping With Robert Rodriguez (suggested by [livejournal.com profile] bacony as I recall).

Thus far there are six. I present them to you along with possible interpretations, though naturally these will not be fixed as it's a roleplaying tool.

Five more cards. I am noticing that the cards with areas of black are more pleasing to the eye. This is why I am not an inker.

More cards for y'all. That's it for today, I'll be off to the Bolton meal this evening.

Oh, incidentally, the yellow in these cards is done with flourescent highlighter pen. Apropos of yellow.

I have been asked to an interview tomorrow lunchtime.  Huzzah!

On the downside, the email with the details has yet to arrive.  Hopefully it's the agency being shit rather than further email server confusion.  Luckily I thought to ask for the man's phone number and name when he rang, so I do have a way to contact him.
