Publishing Goblin in Review
This year already we have a flurry of new projects that are in production, and available for pre-orders now!
Right now, you can pre-order the Normal Tarot's brand new 3rd edition! This full-color take by Ezra Kimbell is an all-new vision of @cryptotheism's original tarot deck, the Normal Tarot, which has seen gorgeous renditions by @worm-dark and @charminglyantiquated, which are also being reprinted here in the 2nd edition gold and silver foil decks, as well as the 1st edition deck! We are aiming to manufacture soon and ship by October!
Or you can slip into something spookier and pre-order the ghostly story-telling game, WHAT WE POSSESS! This card-run TTRPG is made for one-shots, and allows everyone to play as ghosts as a mystery unfolds at your table. Possess the living, use ghostly powers, and discover clues as you unwind this spectral tale. These are heading to manufacturing and should be shipping in July/August.
If ghosts are too spooky, maybe you need a punk punch to your gaming table! In that case, join the ZOETROPE Time Travel Agency in ZOETROPE: DEATH DIDN'T TAKE! This card-run TTRPG is likewise a one-shot machine made to take your group on time travel shenanigans as your agents screw up time and time again, resetting time to get the job done as necessary. These are shipping out at the same time as WHAT WE POSSESS in July/August, and you can even grab all the WHAT WE POSSESS items here on this campaign!
Or if you're a pin collector, now is the time for you to delve into the Alley for Alleyman's Tarot Pins! There are sets of 3 "tarot card" pins, as well as pins of the Alleyman and Alleyway Oracle themselves! Lots of goodies to grab, as well as pins from previous projects!
And stay tuned for the space to order the Alleyway Oracles, the followup project to the Alleyman's Tarot, as there are extras of all the decks and items to grab. You'll want to be watching www.alleymantarot.com for those, or check out the Alleyman's Tarot and Publishing Goblin's Oracle dice already up on that site!

My first Zenith Knot reading from the Normal Tarot made by @cryptotheism
I'm in love with this deck, even if it's substantially harder to read than any tarot deck I've ever had before

A NEW SOUL JOINS
WELCOME @blazinbran
THE NEW MOON
THE SECOND OF SUMMER
THE CARETAKER
A tall field of grass eclipsed by the moon. Sometimes things simply are not right for no good reason. Routine becomes rut; the mundane becomes the malevolent, if only by boredom. There comes a need to break this monotony, whether it was ready or not, and great things can come of it.

I got my copy of @publishinggoblin 's Alleyman's Tarot in the mail this week and I've been having a lot of fun with it already
The cards are completely mismatched, which I love. It means I can add cards from decks I already have, including cards from @normal-horoscopes 's Normal Tarot, without them looking/feeling out of place
I also added a few of my own design, all from pictures taken by me (you can't really have too many Death cards, can you? who cares that this deck already has 10 or so) and The Performer is by Reinhard Kleist from his Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds Art Book
And to keep everything organized I added dividers to the box
I really recommend this deck, it's beautiful and unique, and I'm very happy I was able to get one

Alright alright... @cryptotheism / @normal-horoscopes, I think we've got one more in us.
The third edition of the Normal Tarot is coming... and it's coming March 5th. All-new, full-color illustrations by Ezra Kimbell, this deck will be the final version of the incredible Normal Tarot, designed by the Caretaker.
You can sign up to be notified of our launch on backerkit here!
Oh... What's that? Oh, okay, it won't be alone then.
@worm-dark, @charminglyantiquated y'all ready for the Gold and Silver decks to finally get reprints? I suppose it is about time, then. We'll have to make them cheaper than last time, to let the most people get a hold of one!
And... what?
Alright alright, I hear you-- the 1st edition will also be there, in its clean black and white glory.
If you want to be there and be first, please join us here on the teaser page and signup to be notified, help us see how much interest we have! : )

WELCOME @dunkfungus
THE SUICIDE KING
THE SORCERESS
THE SPRING KNIGHT II
Underestimation is the spice of life in much the same way a Galerina marginata is suitable to be eaten exactly once. Make them suffer for thinking they could do this to you and get away with it.

For context, I've shuffle the book cards of the Normal Gold deck into my alleyman's, and I've been doing daily readings
Today, I drew the Book of War, so decided to do the Fork in the Road spread from the alleyman's guide, but with the normal gold deck.
The sheer number of knights, maidens and the king really feels weighty, along with the moon eclipsed by the summer knight on one path.
All the seasonal imagery as well - drawn by the ladies of winter and autumn to the paths of summer, standing at the fork of the lady of spring.
A call to rest but a desire to defy nature and become a perpetual motion machine. A desire to change, fueled by the knowledge of near definite success no matter the path - the question is whether I take care of myself or let the old routes of habit dictate my choice.
