The Portal Tarot: The Apprentice is an easy-to-use, story-inspiring deck of high-fantasy Tarot cards! 

With these 78 cards, containing a mix of beautiful fantasy art and helpful text, drawing just 3 will give you more than 470,000 unique combinations of ideas:

  • Flesh out a character with a background and motivation!
  • Create a random event, plot hook, or encounter!
  • "Predict" what will happen next!
  • Or anything you can generate through symbolism and imagery!

Whether or not you’ve ever used a Tarot deck before, The Portal Tarot: The Apprentice will help you dive right in and begin using them for role playing, writing fiction, and even self-reflection. The 22 fully-illustrated Major Arcana offer beautiful art that lends itself to quick interpretation, while the 56 text-based Minor Arcana each display their own keywords and explanations, ensuring that you never have to stop to look up the meaning of a card. 

While they can certainly be used for occult-style Tarot readings, this deck is especially well suited to fantasy fiction and role playing, as I drew inspiration from writers like Roger Zelazny, Terry Pratchett, and Diana Wynne Jones while writing the content and commissioning the art!

Check out the PDF preview below the thumbnail above for the first few pages of the instruction manual, or view my website via the links on my publisher page to read more about how to use Tarot cards. I have something for everyone there, whether you are a beginner who has never used a deck before, or an old-hat master who just wants to see what suggestions I have for gamers!
Examples of Major and Minor Arcana.

And when they are ordered Print-on-Demand, these cards come in a beautiful tuckbox!

... and that tuckbox can be unfolded to reveal hidden knowledge!

They are described by DriveThru as 2.75" by 4.75", which is about 69.85mm by 120.65mm. However, they seem to fit in the Tarot card sleeves by Mayday Games, which are listed as 70x120mm! https://www.maydaygames.com/products/wotr-ce-card-sleeves

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
