I've noticed that the steampunk deck seems to be pretty popular. I feel really inclinedvto buy the deck. Would anyone care to share your experience with Steampunk? Why is it so fascinating?

See, I didn't know that. I suppose in general...if anyone would like to share his/her experience sith a specific Steampunk deck please do. I'm interested in reading the details before I choose the deck I would like to purchase.

Thanks!

I own Moore´s Steampunk and it reads and flows really well. The characters have interesting expressions and the usual meanings get funky twists. The card stock is ok so I´m quite satisfied. To be honest, the art of Matthew´s version is to me MUCH MORE appealing but I figured reading with it would be a bit too convoluted. It has a lot to do with taste, I guess. Have a look.

Fascinating! I think I would try the Moore deck as I had received a better vibe from that deck while viewing the images.

Thanks!

I have the Matthews Steampunk. Haven't really read with it yet, but it's slated to be read with next week. Love, love it at a precursory glance, though.

I bought it because the deck's art style and system is unique, and I tend to go for decks that aren't constant RWS or Thoth clones and push my boundaries a little. So I agree with ana luisa; it just depends on your taste and/or what you want to do with the deck.

I like Moore's steampunk tarot, but I like Moore books in general. The imagery is nice, simple to read and adds a few twists to the usual Rider-Waite imagery.

Definitely. It would really be nice if you would give a review on your Matthews deck once you become comfortable with using it. Thanks!
