Theme: Vintage pulp fantasy and sci-fi magazine covers

An oracle deck featuring vintage pulp fantasy and sci-fi magazine cover art, designed by Bobby Alexander. The deck offers a minimum of 36 cards, expandable to 60 with stretch goals, available in both tarot and poker sizes.

About This Deck

The Pulp Fantasy Oracle Deck draws its aesthetic directly from the vibrant, often sensationalized covers of vintage pulp magazines. Each card is designed to emulate a classic magazine cover, complete with stylized titles, taglines, and a 25-cent price tag, immersing the user in a nostalgic world of speculative fiction. The deck is intended as an oracle, with a base of 36 cards, and the potential to expand to 60 cards through achieved stretch goals, offering a broader range of imagery and interpretive possibilities.

This deck is presented in two distinct sizes: a standard tarot size for those accustomed to larger cards for readings, and a more compact poker size, which offers portability and a different tactile experience. The dual sizing caters to various preferences, whether for detailed visual study or convenient shuffling and travel. The imagery itself is a homage to the golden age of pulp, featuring dramatic scenes, heroic figures, and fantastical creatures that evoke a sense of adventure and mystery.

The oracle system is designed to be intuitive, allowing readers to connect with the evocative imagery and accompanying text on each card. The blend of fantasy and sci-fi themes provides a rich tapestry for exploration, making it suitable for readings that delve into themes of destiny, power, memory, and the unknown. The deck's unique presentation as 'magazine art cards' makes it a distinctive item for collectors and readers alike.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many cards are in the Pulp Fantasy Oracle Deck?
The Pulp Fantasy Oracle Deck starts with a minimum of 36 cards. However, the campaign blurb indicates that the deck can expand to 60 cards if certain stretch goals were met during the funding period. The final card count depends on the success of these goals.
What is the art style of the Pulp Fantasy Oracle Deck?
The deck features artwork directly inspired by vintage pulp fantasy and sci-fi magazine covers from the mid-20th century. This style includes bold, dramatic illustrations, often with heroic or fantastical figures, vibrant colors, and period-appropriate typography, designed to evoke a sense of nostalgic adventure.
Are the cards available in different sizes?
Yes, the Pulp Fantasy Oracle Deck is offered in two different sizes to accommodate various preferences: a standard tarot size, which is generally larger for detailed viewing, and a more compact poker size, ideal for portability and easier shuffling.
Is this a tarot deck or an oracle deck?
