Selecting Your Cards: The Voyager Tarot Deck


This deck follows a slightly different convention for the suits:


Crystals (e.g., Swords)
Cups
World (e.g., Pentacles)
Wands

The card meanings are more alchemical than a regular Ryder-Waite deck, so Crowley's Thoth deck card meanings may map a little better for most of the cards.
I'll have the Thoth deck in mind as I design roles, too.


The "Face Cards" are also more Thoth-like


Sage - (e.g., Page in R-W, Princess in Thoth)
Child - (e.g., Knight in R-W, Prince in Thoth)
Woman - (e.g., Queen in R-W and Thoth)
Man - (e.g., King in R-W, Knight in Thoth)

The Major Arcana are easier to just list, since they almost, but don't entirely follow either of the major systems.


0 Foolish Child
I Magician
II Priestess
III Empress
IV Emperor
V Heirophant
VI Lovers
VII Chariot
VIII Balance (RW Justice, Thoth Adjustment)
IX Hermit
X Fortune (RW Wheel of Fortune, Thoth Fortune)
XI Strength (Thoth Lust)
XII Hanged Man
XIII Death
XIV Art (RW Temperance, Thoth Art)
XV Devil's Play
XVI Tower
XVII Star
XVIII Moon
XIX Sun
XX Timespace (RW Judgement, Thoth Aeon)
XXI Universe (RW World, Thoth Universe)

Thoth Card Meanings


The Thoth deck is a little harder to explain. Wikipedia has some fairly useful basic information: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thoth_tarot_deck

If you look at the tables for the suit cards, the Card Name column is the basic meaning.

For more information than you probably want and definitely more than you need for this game, check here: http://www.esotericmeanings.com/

To navigate that site, under the Thoth Tarot heading are links to pages for the Majors, Minors and Face cards. From there, you can click a card to get information, including divinatory info, and a link to a youtube tutorial on that particular card.



The Tarot uPick Design Process
  • Assign Significator Card: This will be your first choice card unless someone else chose the card before you did. In that case, your Significator will be your second choice, unless that has also been chosen as a first choice. Then it's on to your third choice. If that is also taken it's time for 52-Pickup! All three cards taken has never happened, even in the Large Theme Tarot uPick, so hopefully it won't happen here.
  • Design the roles
    based on all three cards
    - This happens BEFORE the random alignment assignment. This means that any Significator card can be any alignment, and any Role based on the cards can be any alignment.
  • Roll the random alignments
  • Modify roles if needed for balance

Design Phase Progress


I'll use this post to inform you of where we're at in the Design Phase.

All card choices have been made!

The game design has begun. I will endeavor to finish the design and have it reviewed within 6 days of today, Nov 23.




Design is a little behind schedule - Most of what's left is writing up role card, based on the review suggestions. The game should be ready to roll in about 2 more days.

Rules:


In-Game Behavior


1.
Site Rules are in effect. Please familiarize yourself and adhere to them.


2. Posts consisting purely of insults without game content are not tolerated. I penalize such posts with a strike. Three strikes and you're out. Severe issues will be reported to the listmods.

3. Claiming scum is allowed. Claiming scum with another player (whether as a joke or not) will result in highly unpleasant consequences regardless of alignment.

4. Loophole abuse is not tolerated.

5. Have fun!

Voting and Deadlines:



1. Voting must be bolded in the form
Vote: Player
- bold tags

Code: Select all

[b]Vote: Player[/b]
or

VOTE: Player vote tags

Code: Select all

[vote]Player[/vote]


or else they may not be counted. Unvotes are not required to change your vote, but they are helpful. Please note: I'm using an automated vote counter.
If you don't use the vote tags, be sure to add a colon after the word "Vote".


2. I don't mind if you use nicknames/abbreviations when you vote someone. But if I have no idea who you're voting for, then the vote won't be counted. Please note: the vote counting application may be more finicky about nicknames than I am. If you notice that your vote hasn't been recorded, please let me know.

3. Lynches require a majority of votes: (number of living players/2) +1, rounded down.

4. If there's no majority at deadline, there's no lynch.

5. When the hammer vote is cast, all players, including the lynched may talk freely until the final vote count and lynched player's card-flip have been posted. I will lock the game thread at that time.

6. When you are hammered, on the following day, you may make a "bah" post with no game-relevant information. Nothing more.

7. Deadlines are set at 14 days and extensions will only be given in extreme circumstances.

8. Night deadlines are set at 48 hours.

9. I reserve the right to add a few hours here and there to make deadlines fall during waking hours for US Pacific Time. Night deadlines will be arranged so that an entire night phase does not fall on a weekend.


Prods and Replacements:


1. Prods will be given if you do not post in
48 hours
.

2. You may be replaced if you either do not respond to a prod by making a substantive post within 24 hours, or you need to be prodded 3 times total. You may request for a player to be prodded at any time, but the less you request, the happier your mod is. Prods requested when a player has been absent for less than 48 hours do not count for replacement purposes.

3. If you're V/LA (vacation/limited access), make sure I know. If you are V/LA for more than a week, I suggest requesting replacement, but that's not required. If a lengthy V/LA is adversely affecting the game (e.g., if you are not able to post minimally during that time), then your mod may replace you without penalty.


Misc.


1.
Dark Blue
(#004080) is the color I will use for mod posts. Please don’t use this color or otherwise try to make your posts look like mod posts.

2. You can talk about the game in the private threads given to you via PM, assuming you were given one. Otherwise, please refrain from talking about this game outside of this thread, and don't talk about other games inside of this game. This is a sitewide rule. See announcement here.


3. No editing, deleting, using invisible texts, writing in code, etc...

4. Don't quote mod-recieved PMs. Paraphrasing is permitted.

5. I make mistakes. If you notice I make one, please let me know.

6. Questions are vastly preferable to Modkills. If you're thinking about doing something that you're unsure is within the letter or spirit of these rules, the site rules and the game of mafia, then tell me about it first so I can let you know if it's ok or not.

The querent enters the dimly lit room and takes a seat at the scarf-covered table. She nervously runs her finger over the tasseled edging and wonders what the strange symbols on the scarf mean: a tangle of sharp crystals, heavily carved staffs, ornate chalices and fanciful planets.

The reader emerges from a doorway festooned with a beaded curtain, the wooden and stone beads clicking behind her.

She sits down across the table from the querent, and pulls a deck of cards out of a capacious pocket. "What brings you here?"

The querent starts slowly, but soon a flood of concerns regarding family, lover, career, and purpose in life have spilled from her. The reader sits back, eyes half closed, taking it in, while shuffling the cards.

"Enough." She places the deck on the table and deftly separates it into 3 equal piles of cards. "Choose".

The querent hesitantly taps the middle pile.

The reader picks up all three piles, with the signified pile on top.

"It was good you came to me. This is no ordinary deck of cards. The cards will do more than point out a path to you. They will choose that path and set you upon it. It is sometimes a battle for supremacy, and the cards may seem more preoccupied with some esoteric battle happening in another time or place. Do not let that concern you. In the end, cards will tell you whether your concerns will be resolved favorably soon or if you have struggle, wait and uncertainty ahead.

I will lay out a 9 card spread to explore your questions. We will begin the reading with the first card. It signifies past events that bear on your questions."

The querant nods understanding and waits.

Confirmation phase begins now, and day 1 will start as soon as 8 players have posted in this thread. You don't need to wait for me to say "Day 1 begins" once 8 players have confirmed.

I'm curious if anyone was ballsy+funny and chose the hanged man (YA KNOW, CAUSE IT'S MAFIA!)

I know there's been other tarot Upicks and so that joke might not be so original but IT'S A FIRST FOR ME AND I'M AMUSED BY THE THOUGHT

I got my first choice!

but I did not get scum

which I gotta say, I think the mafia gods are conspiring against me

I haven't rolled groupscum since MARCH

I really wanted to be scum in a game with nancy and manipulate the FFFF out of her, but, boohoo

will make the best of it

this is a micro - NO USELESS LURKSACKS OR I WILL ON YOUR ASS
