天命黑線 ✦ Black Thread of Fate is a fan-made tarot card deck inspired by the video game Black Myth: Wukong from Game Science.天命黑線 (Tiānmìng hēi xiàn) literal translation is “black strings of destiny”. This project is still a work in progress, and will be updated with new card illustrations. The current focus is on the first 22 cards in the Major Arcana. Each card is illustrated with a different color palette consisting of five colors, that reflects the character’s design and story in the game.This is an unofficial fan project and has no affiliation with Game Science

Deck of Destiny is a creation by Stephanie Garber, author of the Caraval trilogy and Once Upon a Broken Heart trilogyThe cards are my own interpretation and may not reflect or match the descriptions in the books.This is an unofficial fan project and has no affiliation with Stephanie Garber, or Flatiron Books
