Bekkler's idea makes a lot of sense and is quite a sane way of approaching a big undertaking. My one concern would be that, ideally, the deck would be a cohesive whole, and taking it one card at a time would make that a bit hard. For instance, one might chose Guardia for the Emperor and later on discover they think he'd make a better Hanged Man, or something.
Maybe we could have a thread or two a week for each card, a discussion on it where people can put forth their suggestions and the reasons why and discuss the rest of the deck, and then a vote at the end of the week when the new card discussion begins? We could put the card's definition and a list of characters up at the top for easy reference, and people could have at it. Later on, if they felt like it, people could change their minds.
This would also encourage lots of Chrono analysis, which I personally love.
@Syna: I get what you mean, (no offense) but for a person with not much experience with Tarot, calling them a fool would instinctively make them not download the sheet in the first place. I'm just saying it can be misinterpreted as that. We'll have to put a vote for the fool too I suppose.
Right, but though I don't want to give this a Super Serious turn or anything -- this is fanart for goodnessakes-- I would (personally) like to see this be a legitimate tarot deck with carefully-thought-out choices that are appropriate to both Chrono
and the Tarot. That's why I'd like to see the card meaning incorporated into the survey-- because people who aren't yet exposed to Tarot will see a commonly-misinterpreted card like the Fool or Death and judge it on face value, which is not really what the card is about.
The Tarot is a very deep story, and I think people may find it interesting to learn about the deck of cards while they look at pretty fanart.
We can always put the meaning in the captioning for the art.
I'm not suggesting that my pick for the Fool was the best there ever was, but I do think that the symbolism and resonances in the Tarot cards themselves are important.
But in the end this is for creativity and fun, and I don't want to curb anyone's enthusiasm or anything. This is just my take!
