Stained glass tarot
Today we announced we're making another tarot deck, with a twist! Cultist Simulator's Tarot of the Hours was so popular it gave me the tarot bug, so I'm developing an entirely new 78-card tarot deck for BOOK OF HOURS designed around medieval stained glass windows.
The key thing about this deck is it's printed on transparent PVC, so it should actually look quite stained-glass-window-y in real life! As far as we know this hasn't been done before, so that's exciting. Here's what it'll look like!
The big Mansus-y image is the back of all 78 cards. Flip it over and you'll see the minor and major arcana. All art is hand-drawn by me and will feature the Hours and some reimagined images from Cultist Simulator. It may also end up in the windows of Hush House in BOOK OF HOURS, but that's in the lap of the gods...
The tarot's in-progress, obviously, so let us all take a moment to appreciate how Vagabond it is that the current sketch for the seventeenth major arcana card, The Star - corresponding to the seventeenth Hour, the Vagabond - looks exactly like the mad 2007 Ukranian entry to the Eurovision Song Contest. This is exactly the sort of whimsical accident the Laughingthrush likes...

Secret second project
Our focus as a studio is on BOOK OF HOURS, as you probably all know! But while that project's in its early stages - and a producer/artist/marketer is not as in-demand as she is later on - I'm working on a secret second project we indend to announce at the end of May on Cultist Simulator's anniversary. It's of particular interest to both Cultist fans, but if you're interested in BOOK OF HOURS you'll be interested in this too. Here's what we've teased so far...
ANY GUESSES?
