I'm curious... I'm a huge Royo fan and I came across his deck while surfing.

I think there are a few people around here who have it... I want it, but just for the art. :smile:

I used to own it. But i never felt a connection with it, sadly, and wanted it to go to a more loved home. I sold it to Morr :)

Seen it and do not care for it at all. The minor arcana look horrible in my eyes and the major arcana might as well be blank cards for all that they speak to me.

I've seen much of this deck. Basically it is Royo's art on the major and just pips for the minors... no scenes.
The art was not intended for a tarot deck, nor modified for one like Vargo did for his Gothic Tarot. So this isn't really a "reading" deck in most people's view. If you like the art... get it. OR better yet, get some larger prints for your walls in your bedroom.

I agree. I originally got the deck for the art work, but it was always hidden away in a large box and never seen the light of day, any deck deserves better than that!
I'm sure Morr has given mine a great home :)

I want it more for the art than anything. I love Royo *looks at siggy and av* can you tell :D?

Anyways, the one that I'm really looking forward to is the release of his Labyrinth Tarot. The book that has the art was released last Dec (should be getting that in the mail sometime next week) but it was actually designed as a tarot deck. I contacted the publisher, but unfortunately, it isn't avalible as a deck yet :awwman: Hopefully soon.
