Found this today via the level 99 newsletter, I grabbed the ebook version and read through them. The games seem very compelling, and I appreciate that each is loosely based on the major arcana. Hoping to try them soon, I do have a tarot deck (not for divination purposes, but to list the major arcana as a grounding method, which I know from Binding of Isaac ha).
Overall, I'm a sucker for games that use non-proprietary components (standard decks of cards, dice, etc); I love them for their open-source-ness obviously, but I also like that they allow for personal customization and flair, as you can get a deck of cards or a set of dice in a thousand different styles/arts/etc. My dream is to one day develop a card-based TTRPG system, and I hadn't thought of using Tarot before but may have to consider it.
As an aside, I learned from this purchase and subsequent wiki'ing that apparently tarot originated as just playing cards hundreds of years before they were assigned mystical importance! Pretty cool to take them back to the root in this way.
Curious to hear if anyone's played these, or if you know any other tarot-based games!
