The Final Hours of the Tyrian Tarot campaign are here.

It’s been a wild 37 days, and we’re finally at the end. Soon, we’ll be on to the next stages of the project - picking through add-ons, enjoying pretty art, and best of all, celebrating that we did so much good by embracing the creative community (we have over $15,000 going to charity!). 

>> Join the campaign, Commander.

If you’re interested in the @guildwars2 sponsored campaign - whether you want a deck for the tarot aspect or official concept art or a mix of that and more - be sure to secure your pledge before 11:59 PM PDT tonight (May 22nd). Once we close the doors to the campaign, that’s it.

The countdown has begun!

Tyrian Tarot’s funding campaign goes live in one week.

If you’ve been following along, or are just seeing this project, thank you for the support! We have some ambitious goals in mind - including stretch, pledge and social media rewards - and your support is so important to us. Even small donations go a long way to supporting us and our chosen charity (International Fund for Animal Welfare, or IFAW). 

In the base deck, there are 78 cards covering each of the Major and Minor Arcana, and there are an additional 22 “Wild” cards that are unlockable through the campaign. Each and every card in the deck has been sculpted with love and care, and we’re sure that you’ll be impressed with all the work our contributors have put into them. 

You can add yourself to the notification list to know when the campaign goes live (April 15th at noon EDT) by adding your email here. We have some special and early bird deals available which will be limited.

Announcing the GW2 Tarot Club Contributors!

The moderation team is thrilled to present the full contributor lineup for the GW2 Tarot Club, the 2018 Summer Project of the GW2 Artist Collective. We will be working with 69 incredibly skilled artists for the card deck, 2 writers and an editor for the accompanying book, and 1 promotional cosplayer - all to bring this magical project to life. 

Please see below the fold for contributors’ links and handles across all applicable platforms.

To properly welcome them, we’ll be hosting a​ small @guildwars2 gem giveaway (sponsored by ArenaNet) - all you need to do is join us in welcoming them to the fold by either favoriting, reblogging, or commenting! (More info at the bottom)

Campaign funding for the project launches on World Art Day 2018 (Apr. 15th).

Introducing Our Invited & Returning Artists

At first glance, our invited and returning list might seem long. From it, I’m sure there are a lot of talented names that you recognize from previous projects, and some new ones too. The goal for these projects is simple: To create new @guildwars2 collaborations with the talent we’ve formed connections with, and to bring in new faces that grow the group in a positive way, learning from each other and creating something awesome in the process.

That said, with every new summer and winter project, you’ll continue to see reoccurring faces, while we’ll also always designate a specific number of openings for new members. We’re equally excited for both of these sections, as they are what make these projects so wonderful. 

I’m excited today to announce the official invited list for the GW2 Tarot Club (you’ll see a full list after applications close of our full lineup!):
