The Dungeons & Dragons Tarot Deck

by Fred Gissubel (Illustrator), Wizards of the Coast

A 78-Card Deck and 48-Page Guidebook

Featuring all-new illustrations and a short guide to tarot, this 78-card deck aligns iconic Dungeons & Dragons characters and creatures with the Major and Minor Arcana of tarot.

This officially licensed tarot deck pays homage to the lore of Dungeons & Dragons by pairing characters and encounters with the Major and Minor Arcana of tarot. The characters of the Major Arcana align to the Rider-Waite Tarot while the suits of the Minor Arcana are mapped to abilities within the game of D&D. Beautifully illustrated with exclusive art, the deck also includes a booklet that introduces players to tarot, explains the meanings of the cards, and includes prompts to add dynamic twists to your D&D experience, making this the ultimate collectible for dungeon masters, players, and fans of RPGs.

Such a gorgeous looking tarot deck, I was instantly drawn to it in my local, independent, bookshop 🖤 the artwork doesn’t follow traditional tarot, so it’s really recommended for people who are already familiar with it, and also fans of D&D of course

The artwork is undoubtedly incredible! So is the quality of the packaging box and the deck.
The illustrations are however a little confusing (especially for a newbie) since they haven’t followed the traditional logic for imagery. However, if you know your tarot it won’t be that big of a deal.
Would definitely recommend it for intermediates and experts!

If you’re into D&D, these cards also provide fun twists to the game.

A lovely collection of cards. The art is lovely but not traditional, as is the deck details book.

The art is fantastic and the entire product is wonderful quality. I love the adventure hook ideas they provide along with the standard meaning of each card. Some of them are very clever and all of them give a good plot point that is unique but not overly specific. My one complaint about this deck is that since the art does not adhere to a Rider Waite Smith format and the minors provide no suit name or clear indication (some contain suit symbols or elemental correspondences others not so much) this deck will be very difficult to actually read tarot with. That being said if you are a D&D fan the art and adventure hooks alone are worth the money.

With gorgeous art not out of place among your sourcebooks, this D&D Tarot Deck is one of a kind! Featuring a minor arcana sorted by STR, WIS, INT and CHA; session prompts on each card; and suggestions for ways to build questlines through card spreads; this would be useful for both tarot and TTRPGs.

So cool how the cards and book have found a way to enhance gameplay as well as add a little divination or insight to the reader. A little two for one with one deck.
