The "Dead Man's Hand" tarot deck is complete and can be found here.  Published!  Successful Kickstarter!  This has been a great experience!

I'm going to use this blog for giving a quick update on the images that I used in the deck, as well as what the thinking was behind every design.  For a full guide to reading the Dead Man's Hand tarot as well as tarot deck specific games, I'll be using the main atalentforraw website.

This card is for "Harmony/Rupture"  Harmony more in the sense of energies and plans coming together, people living well together and supporting each other.  I used the musical flute to indicate a musical harmony, but that is more a cue to the reader about the meaning of the card than something which should be taken literally.  The 'rupture' element is depected by having fire ants appear through the fingering and frets.

Fire Ants are perfect for 'rupture', but keep in mind that no society is as harmonious as an ant colony.  Although their lives are hard and short, the entire existence of the colony rests on harmony between each individual.
