AN MDZS TAROT PROJECT

Welcome to the tarot card project: Song of Clarity! We are a collective of artists and fans directing the production of a tarot deck based on Mo Xiang Tong Xiu’s novel, Mo Dao Zu Shi.This deck is inspired by the Gusu Lan Sect’s musical cultivation score “Song of Clarity,” which embodies some of the same intentions we believe can be applied to the art of tarot. We’ve come together aiming to create a deck that not only unites the wonder and beauty of tarot with the story of Mo Dao Zu Shi, but also brings together an artistic team showcasing the incredible creative diversity and talents of others who share our love and passion for the novel.We are delighted to have you along on our journey with this project and are excited to share our vision with you!

Is this project for profit? Will artists recieve compensation?
This is a strictly P4P project. P4P, or pay for production, means the customers only pay the costs it takes to manufacture and ship the product. MXTX fanworks have to be p4p due to a statement released by JJWXC, the site the original novels were published on. Artists who participate in this project - or any mxtx fan project- will not be paid money as compensation. Our artists will receive a completed deck for free as compensation.We will be doing everything in our power to make as little profit as possible, and any money we do end up having left over after production and shipping (as is inevitable) will be donated and/or tipped to mxtx after all decks have been shipped. As per a statement made by mxtx, any donations will not be made in her name.

Will this project be nsfw?
No. This is a strictly sfw project. This applies to hardcore gore and sexual content.

Do you have a cultural consultant on your team?
Yes! We are allowing our cultural consultants to remain anonymous for their own comfort and safety, but we are developing a small team of cultural consultants for our project.

Will you allow groups/couples on the cards?
While we encourage variety, we will be allowing variations of characters as well as multiple characters on one card. as for non-canon couples, we will examine it on a case-by-case basis. We also encourage non-character environments and illustrations.

What kind of deck will this be?
This deck is based on the Rider-Waite-Smith style tarot deck with 78 cards total: 22 major arcana and 56 minor arcana.

Will this deck include cql or will it be strictly novel canon?
Strong preference will be given to novel canon, and other adaptation ideas will be examined on a case-by-case basis. You will not be limited on the appearance of the characters as long as they are recognizable.

How do i change the shipping address on my order? please fill out this FORM by 11:59 PM (CST) on Friday, november 17th

Will there be another round of sales? no. this project has gone on much longer than anticipated, and the moderators would like to focus on other projects moving forward.

Will there be any leftover sales? no. the amount of leftovers available will be negligible, and this is a not for profit project, so we don't want to sell more than we accounted for selling.

Will you be handing the project off to another group for them to sell? after deliberation, we have decided its much safer for our moderators and artists that this project does not expand to outside sellers. while we do truly wish as many people that wanted a deck could've gotten one, we cannot trust that other sellers will stick to selling not for profit. in order to make sure others are not making money off of the hard work of our artists and moderators, we will not be handing this project to anybody else.however, we will be releasing a full pdf version of the deck (for free) for you to be able to print and use yourself at home. please stay tuned for this release.
