Deck of Misfortune

About

Gene Hamil, an artist and filmmaker, originally devised the Deck of Misfortune for the stories of Twisted Carnival. Impressed by the concepts underlying the ficitional deck, he invented a real one that works similiar to traditional tarot cards.

The cards are crafted from premium paper stock, boasting a glossy coating on both sides. 

In Fiction

The Deck of Misfortune is a powerful magical artifact created by SaDue, ZeLena, and EnGa of the MuLock Tribe as a weapon against the Twisted Carnival. The deck was designed to show possible futures and protect the tribe by revealing potential dangers and guiding their decisions. It responded most strongly to ZeLena’s gift for balance and functioned as both a divinatory tool and a source of sacred power. The deck represented the pure tribal magic in opposition to its corrupted counterpart, the Deck of Retribution, which LoSho created during her imprisonment.

In Reality

The Deck of Misfortune bears resemblance to Tarot cards but features a unique reading system capable of revealing a person’s past, present, future, and impending misfortune. This misfortune foretells events that could lead to a bleak future.

In contrast to the traditional Tarot deck with approximately 78 cards, the Deck of Misfortune (version 3) comprises of 8 cards. However, despite its seemingly limited number, this deck possesses significant power and effectively fulfills its intended purpose.
