Sorry about that. I was still searching, and trying to find a way to avoid top posting (Yahoo in Firefox seems not to support a threaded reply). I tried CTRL-ENTER for adding a breaking, and found out it was send. I found the deck I linked to, and those cards are poker sized and easily less than PG-13. I have also found http://www.amazon.com/blank-standard-size-playing-cards/dp/B001J4RIKG/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=sporting-goods&qid=1290638783&sr=8-3, of which you would need 2 to make your own poker sized Tarot.

I hope this helps.

Theorem:
All numbers are equal.


Proof:
Choose arbitrary a and b, and let t = a + b.
(a + b)(a - b) = t(a - b)
a^2 - b^2 = ta - tb
a^2 - ta = b^2 - tb
a^2 - ta + (t^2)/4 = b^2 - tb + (t^2)/4
(a - t/2)^2 = (b - t/2)^2
a - t/2 = b - t/2
a = b

Hey folks,

I'm having trouble finding a Tarot deck that suits my needs for Gnostica(/Zarcana).

I find that "regular-sized" decks are a bit too large and end up taking up too much playing space. However, many smaller decks are tiny, and would not accommodate the pyramids. Ideally, I would like a deck having an area closer to a deck of playing cards.

In looking for those, all the ones I did find tended to have nudity or horror/gruesome pictures, which would not be appropriate for some audiences that would wish to play the game.

Can anybody recommend a PG-13 deck of moderate size?

Thanks
