The Alleyway Oracles

The Alleyway Oracles project brings forth three new divination decks from Publishing Goblin, also known as Seven Dane Asmund. This collection includes the Alleyway Tarot, a comprehensive deck with over 100 cards, alongside two oracle decks: the Oracle of Secrets and the Oracle of Play, each featuring more than 60 cards. The campaign emphasizes these as one-time printings, suggesting a limited availability for collectors and enthusiasts.

Building on the success of the creator's previous 'Alleyman' project, these decks are designed to offer diverse reading experiences. The Alleyway Tarot provides a more extensive system, while the Oracle of Secrets and Oracle of Play offer focused, intuitive guidance. Each deck is accompanied by its own guidebook, ensuring that readers have the necessary tools for interpretation, whether they are new to the creator's style or seasoned followers of the 'Alleyman' universe.

The Kickstarter campaign for these decks garnered significant support, raising over $642,000 from more than 4,500 backers. This indicates a strong community interest in Publishing Goblin's unique approach to card creation and storytelling. The project also included a distinctive tier where decks could be 'maimed, drawn on, torn, folded, changed,' offering a personalized, altered art experience for some backers.

This collection is ideal for collectors of unique, indie decks, particularly those familiar with or drawn to Publishing Goblin's previous 'Alleyman' projects. Readers who appreciate a darker, more unconventional aesthetic and are open to diverse card counts and systems will find these decks appealing. The 'maimed' deck option also caters to art collectors interested in altered or customized items.

Seven Dane Asmund, known as Publishing Goblin, has been self-publishing for over 14 years. Their journey gained significant momentum with the success of the 'Alleyman' project, which cultivated a dedicated community of supporters. This new collection of three decks — the Alleyway Tarot, Oracle of Secrets, and Oracle of Play — represents a continuation of their unique vision and commitment to creating distinctive divination tools.
