I used a really cheap set of Collectible Trading Card Game cards
-(Looney Tunes CCG) - and just stuck the stickers on there. It
made a fun deck - actually 2, because I did both a Gnostica and a
Zarcana deck. However, this doesn't take out the tarot card
aspects that are already on both the Gnostica and the Zarcana stickers.
This is, I think, something to put out onto the Icehouse list.
See if anyone else has done something like this - needed/wanted to take
the tarot out of the game but still play the game. I wonder how
this would change the feel of the game - is having the royalty - marked
as the tarot royalty cards are - integral to the game? Or was it
just a great jumping off point that then formed into a great game?
Explain why you're asking this - people will understand (and probably
commisserate on the state of the union) as to why it's truly impossible
for a teacher to bring a tarot deck into a school. Ask if there
are other work-arounds. It would start a very useful discussion
on the lists, I think.
But please do ask on the Icehouse lists - see what others (in a wider
audience, who have more Gnostica players than we have here on this
list, probably) have done.
Thanks for being such a great teacher, Ryan! I look forward to your solution to this problem!

I'm curious if there exists a deck of cards that would not look like
nor be anything like tarot to use to try Gnostica out. I would be
interested in letting the kids test out the game but there is not a
chance in the world I'm going to be the teacher who has a tarot deck in
the classroom *laugh*. I was just curious before I looked into
creating a deck just for use with the game in school.
Actually I may still make a deck, perhaps commission some kids
to do the art for individual cards. It could be neat to laminate
their art and they know the club plays with it after they have
graduated and moved on.... something for me to think about...
