The Ultimate RPG Tarot Deck

Draw a card. Read the signs. Or make your adventurers deal with them.

The Ultimate RPG Tarot Deck by Jon Taylor brings traditional tarot symbolism into the world of fantasy role-playing with 78 original sword-and-sorcery-inspired card designs.

Based on the familiar symbolism of the Rider-Waite tarot tradition, the deck reimagines classic archetypes through the language of tabletop adventure: The Fool becomes a first-level adventurer setting out on a quest, while Pentacles become the loot and gold pieces every adventuring party knows rather well.

Use it for personal tarot readings, bring it into a campaign for an in-character reading, or draw a card when your story needs an unexpected idea.

78 Cards, Reimagined for Adventurers

The deck includes the complete 78-card tarot structure, with traditional imagery and symbolism interpreted through fantasy RPG storytelling.

That makes it approachable from either direction.

Already read tarot? You'll recognize the underlying archetypes while discovering playful new interpretations of familiar cards.

Already play RPGs? The fantasy imagery provides an inviting way to explore tarot while giving you another storytelling tool for the table.

Or, naturally, be both.

We suspect there's some overlap.

Bring Tarot to the Game Table

A tarot deck and a role-playing game have something rather wonderful in common:

Both ask you to look at an image, consider its possibilities, and tell a story about what it might mean.

Use the cards during a campaign for:

In-character tarot readings

Story & adventure inspiration

Random encounters or events

NPC and character ideas

Worldbuilding prompts

Plot twists

A wonderfully ominous thing for the mysterious stranger at the tavern to place on the table

The cards offer inspiration without determining exactly what happens next. That's still up to you—and possibly the dice.

Use It as a Tarot Deck, Too

This isn't only an RPG randomizer.

The Ultimate RPG Tarot Deck can also be used for traditional tarot and personal readings, with its fantasy artwork interpreting established tarot archetypes and symbolism.

An included guidebook explains how to use the cards both for divination and gameplay, making the deck approachable for people coming to it from either tradition.

Why We Love It

It's a complete 78-card tarot deck. Traditional structure gets a fantasy RPG transformation.

It bridges two kinds of storytelling. Tarot symbolism and tabletop role-playing turn out to be excellent companions.

It's useful beyond the game table. The deck is designed for personal tarot readings as well as RPG play.

It can generate ideas without writing the story for you. Draw a card and see what it suggests.

The guidebook supports both uses. Learn how to incorporate the cards into tarot readings or gameplay.
