Mystery Tav asked: Hi! Can I ask which country shipping will be from? I know how expensive it can be and am hoping to budget accordingly if I know where it’ll ship from when you get to that stage ❤️
Hi!! Our Finance and Production team is based in Europe and will ship from there. We‘ll try our best to keep shipping as low as possible, but with what we have planned it may be hard! We‘ll announce prices as soon as possible and highly appreciate you planning so far ahead! ❤️ [Smile or comment on the answer here](https://retrospring.net/@BG3TarotDeck/a/113124183842728201)
Concept for the back of the bg3 tarot deck I might make :)) subject to change. I think I'm gonna make the solid bg more purple
Bg3 tarot update!!
I haven't done much art yet but I've spent a good amount of time in assigning meanings to all 78 cards . I've also decided that I'll be doing full art for all cards, including minor arcana which aren't face cards (meaning not king, queen, page, or knight, but numbered cards like for example, two of swords, etc) this means I have to do full colored and shaded pieces x78, each varying in detail 💀
Keeping the definition of the cards in mind with character traits, here's how the lineup looks right now. Its very much subject to change:
4 cards each for origin companions (astarion, wyll, karlach, gale, laezel, shadowheart)
1 card of shadowheart and laezel
1 card of aylin and isobel
1 card of minsc, 2 of jaheria (potentially one of them together)
3 for minthara, 4 halsin, 2 for Raphael
And some more featuring rolan, dammon, zevlor, kagha, karniss, volo, scratch, abdirak, tiefling kids, yenna, ommellum, orpheus, the tiefling couple, origin durge, dead three, some scenery/cult visuals, cazador, merchant npcs (ex: that one dragonborn girl and kobold at circus), along with epilogue and camp visuals
Some characters I'd like to squeeze in but might not: mystra, lucretious, etc.

BG3 Tarot Update!
12 people so far have responded to the form- tysm!! Those who prompted in for the tag list I will begin that soon, but for now I'm gonna just post this update.
°‧★ Anyone new seeing this post, quick rundown is I'm making a fully functional 78 card tarot deck around things from bg3. I post all my updates under #bg3 tarot on this blog! ☆⋆｡
PLEASE NOTE: From here, card designs contain companion ending spoilers !!
I've began working on both The Lovers card (aylin x isobel) along with The High Priestess (selunite shadowheart). Finalized designs will be posted once done and the designs will probably be fixed slightly before I release the entire deck, which will take a VERY long time btw.
More information on some design decisions, major arcana lineup, how i will distribute the decks +more!!⬇️⬇️
First off, another huge thanks to the people who responded to my form!
Back Design:
The decision of the gold + purple was reinforced through the responses with over 50% of responses voting for it.
There was also some helpful feedback given too, I really appreciate it! I'll likely tweak some colors and the center design slightly and post it on the next update
Frame Design
Complex won by far, and I totally agree. This is pretty much final with a bit of room for color and symbol tweaks for consistency between the back and front of cards. Lots of great feedback on this once again, thanks!
Major Arcana line up!
This is probably the biggest decision for this project, and the lineup two won in the polls with 66.7% voting for it. So, what does those mean? It means that as I shuffle around the minor arcana placements a bit (which are set but not finalized or released) I'm now able to provide more diversity of characters in the cards. Minor arcana will be the next big poll, stay tuned!
Below is details on line up two :)
Lastly...how will these decks turn to physical form?
I've done lots of thinking on this, and once more, this info is not final! Due to my distrust and/or lack of funds for the several large manufacturers I have looked into, I will likely make the decks by hand and sell them on my etsy. I've found several methods that which i am yet to test in the upcoming months that would ideally make a high quality and similar product to if I followed through with a large manufacturer such as mpc. Pros to this would be I can better manage the quality and design of this, and it may actually be more cost wise for me while still making a good product. Cons, it's extremely time consuming. This means I'll probably have to make smaller batches to sell than I would with a manufacturer and have them be spaced out, along with opening my shop over the summer as I have no time otherwise (I am a student)
Anyways, my main worry is the designs right now. More updates on this later :))
Concepts? Questions? Ideas? Want to be added to the taglist?
PM me or comment! I'm happy to answer
New designs to vote on coming this weekend btw (probably some frame and back card stuff)

Six of Swords
Slate and Gale
Upright: healing, moving forward, stability, escape, journeys, passage from pain
Reversed: feeling trapped, instability, abuse, unresolved issues, carrying baggage from your past
Had a lot of fun with this one! The symbols on the swords represent each characters abuser (Zhentarim for Slate, and Mystra for Gale). There are the obvious signs of the past sins committed (the blood on Slate's hands and Gale's orb), but the two characters are in a place of acceptance and healing together, moving on from past transgressions. This card usually depicts a boat on water, so I thought it would be cool to set the piece in the astral sea from their Act 3 romance scene!

✨️Watch out, evil. None nap so powerfully as Boo!✨️
Work in progress! This card was supposed to be named The Legend/The Berserk, which do you think is better? 🤔
Do you have these legends of Baldur's Gate in your party? I personally have already had a run with Jaheira, but not with both of them together yet!
