    Making real copies of these cards is something that has come up before, but as of yet we haven't seen a way to integrate them into our merch or promotions. No promises either way, but many of us want them as badly as you do.

    From the game... I have got my tools :p
    ooooooh...you have a texture extractor... nice!;)

    Maybe a .PDF and/or .JPG set as a prize in a future treasure hunt???
    Then people can print them theirselves at a higher resolution as the textures from the game.

    The Journal was a great prize, so why not these???

    You, sir, are a Photoshop God (even though you probably didn't use Photoshop >.>).

    Huh, I thought the actual stored art would be larger for some reason.
  • edited August 2009
    It is larger... I've scaled it down so that it doesn't bloat the forum.

    Ah. Do you think you could add in links to the original resolution?
  • edited August 2009
    I don't think Telltale would like that.

    Oooh they could be part of the "case file" equivalent for ToMI - Should it be called the "Treasure Chest"?

    This is pure awesomeness!! Thank you so much!

    Still, I would LOVE to see these cards made into official merchandise. They rock!

    Sorry for double-posting, but I just wanted to say once again: Thank you so much, MISM and jose for creating & posting this PDF file of the tarot cards!

    Why (again)?

    Because I printed them in a way to make real cards out of them:

    MI5-Tales-Cards1.jpg

    MI5-Tales-Cards2.jpg

    Pretty neat, aren't they? I hope you'll post the cards from the other 2 games (at least I hope there'll be more cards in Chapter 4 and 5) like that, too. ;)
  • edited October 2009
    Those look great! I was about to try that too, maybe I will.
  • edited October 2009
    Glee! I gotta figure out how to print these so the backs and front line up properly.

    (And nice nails BeeKay84. Rounded nails all the way for me, too.)

    I printed them all out with the backside right next to each of the cards (I prepared that in Photoshop), then glued both sides together and cut them out. Then, I needed to press them for a while, because the glue made them all go wavy. Hope that was a good explanation.

    Of course, they're not that stable, made of paper, but I like how they turned out and will handle them with care, as long as TTG don't release real cards... which I would handle with even more care, of course. ;)

    Why, thanks. They were a bit long already, though, had to cut them recently (rounded of course ;)).

    Hmm, I hadn't thought of that. Maybe when I get some free time I'll try it with a piece of thin pasteboard between. And I know what you mean about the nails; when I start typing with my nails more than my fingers I know it's time to file 'em down.

    So I guess I need more than just paper, I know I'm going to forget to make some of these...
  • edited October 2009
    Just to say would be AWSOME to have physical copies of the tarrot cards seen in each episode of Tales. The artwork is so awsome especially the De Singe card :D

    Shame Telltale / LA are so slow, its money to be made. Get moving please! :D wtb some high quality cards and my Murray alarm clock.

    And to be truly on-topic, having those voodoo cards in the store or as a bonus in something like the Sam and Max Case File would be awesome.
    "Bonus"? I'd pay a fair bit fair a full 78 card Tarot deck on it's own! Maybe even with some came rules to come with it, which wouldn't need to be based on the original 14th century tarot card games...

    It's unfortunate that the images in the PDF are so strongly compressed. :(
