This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Does anyone know of anyone who makes amber tarot cards, either selling a printed deck or images that can be printed easily, or images of the Tarot de Ambre deck that are of a printable quality?

Just to engage in a little thread necromancy, if you have not resolved your tarot needs.  Do check out the Norbert Losche's Cosmic Tarot.  Not only is it still in print, it has a great look, and refers to the pages and knights as princes and princesses.  I actually consider it a better (and much easier to get) deck for RPG purposes than the french one.

Thanks for the tip. I have the French Amber deck and have to say that it really isn't very Amber-like at all. The artwork doesn't inspire me and the majority of the cards aren't major arcana and thus have nothing to do with Amber. I only keep the deck because of sentimental reasons and the fact that it's "official" Amber.

What I would really like to see is a deck based on some of the artwork of the guys that illustrated the covers of the novels because when I think of Amber the book covers come to mind a lot. I like the old black covered paperbacks from Ron Walotsky quite a bit, as well as the series done by Tim White covers. I would have loved to have one of those guys do an Amber deck.
