Imperial Tarot (wishlist item)

It looks like the WD I was thinking of was #210.

[Psychosplodge]

I would love one of these.

[Wildeybeast]

Me too. It's definitely the sort of thing I would invest in. If we all keep wishing hard for it, our benevolent overlords in Lenton may hear our prayers.

[Psychosplodge]

Well see if the eldar art book write in worked first...

[Wildeybeast]

Ha, the banner ads on this page are now offering me Tarot readings.

[Psychosplodge]

You have adverts?

[Wildeybeast]

You don't? How does one make them not be here any more?

[Psychosplodge]

Firefox and ad-block plus, the only one I get is whatever's appearing in the box labelled advertisement on the right.

[Wildeybeast]

Cool. I shall go a-searching for add ons.

That's what I took it as - I'm pretty sure it's from Ian Watson's Harlequin and the titular character is actually a garishly dressed human rather than an Eldar. Figured it's a more 40k word than fool or jester.

The tittular character, and as he appears in all three of the books, is indeed a human. However, he is very closely linked to the actualy Eldar Harlequins. Given the nature of the linking of the plot to the Webway, it is hardly surprising that there are a few cross-overs between the heroes, villains, and those of The Dance.

Speaking of Imperial tarots, I really would love to create a set. If I were a little more talanted (ok, a LOT more talanted) with a pen/pencil/paintbrush/graphics tablet) I would really get to work on creating one. Might even go to find a local Tanner to get some relatively fresh hide to bind the deck in. One thing that would bother me though would be that the images would be static. In most of the BL works they move and change to convey greater meaning. Maybe if I were able to invest in the 75 or so Ipods that would be required...
