Project Info
The Turret Tarot, formerly advertised as the Portal Collaborative Tarot Initiative, is a Portal-themed, charity art anthology and Tarot Deck, featuring art inspired by standard tarot cards and their meanings. We are a group of about 50 Contributors who worked to the completion of this deck, featuring characters, iconography and scenes from Portal and Portal 2.
The deck will be both a physical and digital Full Tarot Deck, with all 78 cards, including all Major and Minor Arcana.We will be supporting ASAN (Autistic Self Advocacy Network) and all funds will be donated to ASAN at the conclusion of the project!

FAQ
Will there be a physical release of the zine or actual cards printed? There will be both a physical and digital version of the deck available for purchase! (There will also be a digital version created with ALT Text for those who use screen readers)
Will there be illustrations for the minor arcana? Yes! The deck includes a standard 78 card deck with both Major and Minor Arcana.
Will this deck only have one time it's available? Yes, this project will only be available during the preorder period from Nov 25th, 2023 to Jan 15th, 2024. The deck will not be available outside of that period.
How long will the deck take to ship? We will be providing updates on social media as we wait for our manufacturer to ship all decks to us, and then you will receive a tracking number when your deck has shipped.
What stretch goals have been met? At the conclusion of the preorder period, we reached only our first goal for the Holographic Gilted Edges. Since the box goal was not met, the cards will instead come in a bag.
Will art be digital only or will you accept physical mediums that are scanned in? (i.e fibre arts/embroidery.) We accept any medium, with the exception of AI Generated Artwork, AI Derivative Work, and anything utilizing stolen work. There is no AI Generated Work in this deck.
