Apparently we're not limited to just one of each card. Your file has Doc Fulton listed as having also received both of the cards that I currently have.

It may be possible to get more than one deck. Also once a tarot card deck becomes active it has a limited life span. So don't throw out those spares! My suspicion is a it's a cycle - once all cards from a deck are distributed it begins again. Once we complete the first full deck, it will be interesting to see if there are any further clues as to their origins and our benefactor. Also interested to see if there is anyone WTB tarot cards at the Half Way Inn (I do not intend to ask, more if there is any WTTB, WTS notice boards or anything of the like there) - which would give an indication if any other DORAs besides our group are getting them as well.

I've left Death and the Ace of Cups at the embassy. All the other cards I have are already there.

I've left Death and the Ace of Cups at the embassy. All the other cards I have are already there. I've updated the sheet. You are welcome to leave the duplicates (I've added another section for these) if you don't have a safe space to store them.

Updated the list with the above (noting that Glenn & Dana are still in possession of their cards)
I suspect Dr Yang and another new member of our group have the missing cards that will enable us to complete the first deck.
We are 46 cards into a second deck (including Glenn & Dana's cards)

We completed the first Tarot deck!! - Each card has a specific, unique effect. That particular card should display the same effect for any further decks we complete. - Some effects are permanent. Some last till sunset or sunrise. - To activate a tarot card you rip it in two. The two parts disappear - In areas where magic is harder to use you will need to assert your will when ripping the card in half to have the effect trigger. - In cases where the effect is not permanent you will also need to assert your will to have the effect activate. eg one of the cards makes it easier for you to use any weapon till sunset or sunrise. If you had this effect active on you and were going into a combat situation you would need to assert your will for the effect to function in zones where magic is harder to use. - The effect affects the person ripping the card in half - The picture on the card may give a hint to what the effect may be. - not all effects are good. Some may be harmful to you in some way. - When the next tarot deck is made complete any cards of the current active one will disappear (OOC: an active deck may also disappear at the end of the season, depending on how long it has been active. Check with Logan as to if this occurs). - Each card is considered an individual magic item. Dana, Glenn and myself experimented with several of our cards and I have noted down the effects of those cards. Due to some of the permanent effects, I suspect that there may be haggling over some of the second, third and so on deck cards with who received them. If you use a card and I am not with you, please note down the effect. (feel free to update the spreadsheet with it) as this will benefit us all. If I'm not with you when you collect your cards (see spreadsheet as to which ones have been activated, as some of your cards may be going towards a future deck), please either update the spreadsheet to reflect you now have them or put a msg here or send me a msg directly. The sheet tracking the tarot cards. If you are uncertain as to what I mean about anything I've documented above, let me know and I will try and clarify.
