Author's Note
This game stems from a spiritual awakening that occurred after a dark night of the soul, punctuated by flashes of situations that didn't belong to this earthly world. This night didn't last 6-8 hours, but several weeks. While battling this darkness, I sought through reading if others had seen the same thing. I wanted to understand and have a global picture! In my struggle, I convinced myself that if I could go so far into the darkness, I was surely capable of doing the same thing on the side of the light. I wanted to see what that looked like! If the fight was purely mental, it was more than a small skirmish, for the forces that hold you back are powerful.
I can only encourage you to delve into the subjects addressed in this game for yourself. Doubt, search, progress, go as far as you can. Believing or not believing is just a step. Seeking for yourself is the next one. Becoming a top professional tennis player takes work. Talent isn't everything. Cultivate a positive curiosity.
I wanted to create something different from what a book offers, as it would have been just one among others. I wanted something playful and interactive. Finally, don't take everything literally. You don't roll dices to come back to earth, and it's certainly not the exact program for training in the afterlife :-).
I was supported by incredible artists! Thank you to them! You will find their names in the acknowledgments. This collaboration was possible despite our different nationalities, mother tongues, and religions, all around the world. The internet, when used appropriately, is a fantastic tool.
At this stage of game development, I am now addressing the community. I think we are stronger together. And I think that's one of my life lessons. I need you. Alone we go faster, but together we go further. I have a full-time job and I'm doing this in my spare time. My finances are not unlimited either.
If you think this game should have a material version and not just a virtual one, help me! There are different ways to contribute. If you are a player with a group and are ready to regularly playtest, to make proposals, make yourself known. We are very close to also creating a family or even solo version of the game.
If you have time and want to translate this game or this website into your language, contact me. The same goes for the Jasper's Tarot. You are welcome.
If you are active on social media, become my advocates/representants. Do you want to propose new cards? With pleasure! Do you have skills in game development software? Let's talk about it. Are you ready to set up printing options? Great, contact me! If you have a skill that could further the current work, write to me!
Do you want to provide financial support? :-) Thank you, thank you, thank you! Several options are available:
A) For the first 1,000 donations: For a donation of $20, your name will appear inside one of the 2 boxes. The same goes for options B or C.
B) Help me with the crowdfunding campaign that will create a storage mold in the box, as well as molds for the 3D pieces. I need to rethink the boards to a new format to be able to place both of them on a table.
C) I need to reduce the cost of printing. In this context, you can contribute to producing pieces/articles of the game.
D) Do you want something tangible? Support me by buying a Tarot game. 2x72 cards with a booklet on drawing options. Again, I need to print in large quantities to lower prices. The international shipping option for the package is also significant, and I'm looking for solutions to that.
If you don't have the time or money, that's okay. Your support is precious. Talk about it around you!
Together we are and will be even stronger!
If you liked the cards related to the Tarot, a complete set including the Cards (Major and Minor) as well as their detailed explanations, detailing their meaning in love, money, work, and guidance is available under the name "The Jasper's Tarot."
Finally, if we compare the duration of a earthly life to the age of the universe, it represents little more than a human thought. Make sure the memory of your time on earth is pleasant and positive!
Thank you!
PS I have long thought to finish with this song,

But I want to believe in us, in humanity, and I suggest this one.
