Just in time for Halloween, Dark Horse is releasing two new products to add some creepiness to your evenings. Based off Joss Whedon’s “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” TV series, the mythology comes to life through the official Buffy the Vampire Slayer Tarot Deck and the Buffy the Vampire Slayer “Conversations with Dead People” Board.
The Buffy the Vampire Slayer Tarot Deck was written and conceived by renowned tarot writer Rachel Pollack, the author of twelve books on the tarot, including the renowned 78 Degrees of Wisdom. She has teamed with long-time BVS artist Paul Lee to create this fully painted 78-card deck, drawing on characters, themes, and legends from all eight seasons of the show. This special deck was created by Pollack not merely as a collector’s item, but as an actual, working tarot deck. Included with the cards come with a book explaining their divinatory meanings and use. The traditional symbols of the tarot are reinterpreted through the vision of Whedon’s Buffy universe.
“Conversations with Dead People” Board is named for an award-winning episode from Season Seven of the BVS television series. Written by Buffy Season Eight: Wolves at the Gate author Drew Goddard—the Buffy the Vampire Slayer “Conversations with Dead People” Board is a game for fans of this world to communicate with fans of the next world. In the tradition of the Sunnydale Hellmouth fearless souls can let voices from the other side guide the planchette along the board to spell out the answers to their queries. Along with the game board and planchette, the Buffy the Vampire Slayer “Conversations with Dead People” Board includes an exclusive, comic-style instruction book featuring sequential art by Buffy Season Eight guest illustrator Paul Lee.
The Buffy the Vampire Slayer “Conversations with Dead People” Board and Buffy the Vampire Slayer Tarot Deck will both be available in September 2008 and retail at $24.99-$29.99
