Elder Gods Tarot

For quite some time, I drew (or at least I tried to) monstrous deities from the Cthulhu Mythos. Then one of my victims players from my Call of Cthulhu RPG campaigns brought to my attention the following suggestion:

- "Why not making a card game with all theses horroowagagAAAAAAAAAH ?" he said before running and screaming while waiving his arms in the air.

So after putting him out of his misery, I decided to do it. This is my plan and how I see the distribution :

Major Arcans

• I.Tsathoggua, The Magician (or The Magus)
• II.Chaugnar Faugn, The High Priestess

• X.Atlach-Nacha, Wheel of Fortune
• XI.Nodens, Justice
• XII.Y Golonak, The Hanged Man
• XIII.Mordiggian, The Nameless Arcane/"Death"
• XIIII.Hypnos, Temperance
• XV.Gla'aki, The Devil
• XVI.Gatanothoa, The Tower (La Maison Dieu)
• XVII.Daoloth, The Star
• XVIII.Groth, The Moon
• XVIIII.Cthuuga, The Sun

The back of the cards would be Yog-Sothoth, for it is one and many, contiguous to all while still outside to all. "As" stands for Aces(1), "V" for Valet (Jack), "C" for Cavalier (Knight/Horseman), "D" for Dame (Queen) and "R" for Roi (King). The attributions and choices of entities are guided partly by what I wanted to draw and partly by a rough "classification" of the extended Mythos entities from Lovecraft, Chambers, Ramsey, Clark Ashton Smith, Lumney, Dusanny and such. I choose to put Mister N's avatars in the Batons set and they will be drawn last. This is due to my ongoing RPG campaign (The masks of you-know-who).

So people, what do you think of it ?

Is it silly? Is it madness? Is it just a geek/fanboy/stupid thing to do? Is is a blasphemy? Is it doable? Do you disagree about the affectations I planned?

Please share your input on this silly project of mine.
