MNMLST TRT
A downloadable tarot deck
The MNMLST TRT is a 78-card tarot deck that was designed for people who are either brand new to tarot or a casual user such as may be the case for people wanting to play a TTRPG that utilizes the tarot. Utilizing the naming and meaning conventions of modern tarot, this deck breaks away from other tarot decks in a few important ways:
- Unique and easy-to-read symbolism. Each card has a basic representation of its card's meaning that does not rely on traditional symbolic depictions of the meaning.
- All the cards have their names on them. It is common practice for the Major Arcana (first 22 cards of the deck) and the court cards of the Minor Arcana to have their names written out on the card while leaving the rest of the cards unlabeled. This is fine for people who are willing to devote time to memorizing the deck, but for people sitting down to play some TTRPGs with each person having varying amounts of familiarity with tarot in general and that deck specifically it can be frustrating. This deck is intended to be instantly legible regardless of experience with the tarot.
- No booklets or overly complicated association charts. At the end of the Major Arcana and each suit is a card that gives a brief 1-4 word explanation of the card's meaning. They are relatively conventional interpretations of the cards with only minor changes.
This deck contains:
- 22 Major Arcana cards
- 56 Minor Arcana cards
- 1 Backing card (for uploading a back side on VTT platforms)
- 1 About card
- 5 Explainer cards (one each for Major Arcana, Wands, Cups, Swords, and Pentacles)

Hello! I have more a question than a comment: as this zipped file is each card in its own .png file, do you have any suggestions for how to go about printing these out? I thought I'd ask before downloading a separate card template and pasting each image in. I want to print them on sheets of cardstock and cut them out but want to get more than one card on each sheet. Thanks!
You would probably need a tarot card template and then overlay that with the cards. I don't know of a more efficient way to home print them. I will also add that I am exploring options for a print run of this deck. I have a proof copy and it looks good, but now the matter is simply figuring out how to front the cost. The age old problem is that the more copies of the deck you print, the lower your cost per deck is, but you're also buying a lot of decks and you need some place to sell them.
