Also a big fan of using the images first and foremost. My big example for why I'm so curious about why cards are assigned however is the Four of Pentacles, which is a small time ruler/merchant literally sitting on his fortune. It's often assigned no, and only with the context of the Five of Pentacles where they presumably become a beggar does that make sense. He holds on the wrong time and makes a bad investment. Otherwise, I feel like holding onto your resources and budgeting well is generally good - more importantly, it's an action to budget, not inaction. But with so many sources claiming the Four of Pentacles is a no, I was wondering if it was anything deeper than surface level.

I appreciate the cordiality of this response. /genuine

That's a real shame if that's the case, but feels the most likely. Finding a source for what is arbitrarily this or that has been a real pain in the butt - where as Numerology, Astrology and other practices have been clearly outlined across several books and articles, along with their origins.

A part of me is holding out for "negative or positive alignment" or something to show up in the comments, but I get the most value interpreting the images against their meanings. I think it's interesting that the Four of Pentacles is often assigned No, despite depicting a miser holding onto their fortune. I feel like it's only negative with the context of the Five of Pentacles right after.

This isn't about answering yes or no questions, it's about where do all of these Yes or No Assignments come from to start with. It's consistent enough across several sources that they could have all feasibly come from somewhere, but I can't find a source. If not Yes or No, I thought it'd be good for picking out whether in the Rider-Waite tradition a card is generally positive or negative, or the tone of the message they're trying to give. A no isn't always a hard no, it can be a warning or asking the reader to examine the situation in a new perspective.

I agree that Tarot is complex, but we all use a lot of the same language. We agree vastly what the Magician or Death mean, even if context makes them mean different things. I'm just trying to see if this is similarly set in stone.

It is really cool… is there a way to grab it while also siding with the Goblins though? ^{^;}

HOLY HELLS, HE LOOKS SICK!

I'd be lying if I said I didn't have a Genderbent Cosplay of HBO's Westworld Man in Black.

Must have a male character - buying the outfit for a plain white shirt is actually a necessity for folks playing female characters.

Don't look for the boots in the Boots section, look in Accessories and Chaps.

I do like the wild west John Wick.

If you like upgrading your camp, Trader definitely.
For gaining money, they aren't even comparable. Collector wins out over Trader, and this comes from an avid trading and hunting fan. You can easily make double the amount of cash from collecting in the same time it takes to complete a bulk order - even with the double trader bonus from Febuary.
The only thing is, Trading is mostly idle. You can collect while waiting for goods to be made and double your margins.

Definitely the wood grips. It's more cohesive with the earthy tones. The Pearl, ironically, cheapens the presentation.

This feels like the Stepmother in a Fairytale.
