tbh should be illegal to repeatedly feature so many writers on a top 100 list. Way to narrow it down.

After years of thinking maybe it'll show back up, I finally relented and ordered a new copy of the Intuitive Night Goddess Tarot. And it turned up like this. Bummerino.
Some cards from a tarot deck are fanned out, and they have clearly not been properly printed, missing color on a quarter of the card.

I remember laughing out loud the first time I came across this, and then immediately returning to it when I finished the book, just giggling to myself.
A panel from Bone: he's jumped across a deep pit, landing on a puny branch sticking out of the opposite wall. Two creatures that were chasing him has just arrived at the ledge, "Those rat creatures would have to be pretty stupid to follow me onto this frail, little branch!"
Second panel, said creatures are clinging onto the end of the branch (that's surely about to break at any second), "STUPID, STUPID RAT CREATURES!!"

behold the amazingness
Jolanda Witch Tarot, The Hermit: a cloaked figure wanders in the dark with their lamp aloft, accompanied by various animal companions, a spider and its web fill the sky. Jolanda Witch Tarot, The Star: a smiling woman dressed in white is seen peeking over a pebbles pond circled by frogs. The sky above is full of colorful stars and planets. Jolanda Witch Tarot, Strength: a woman astride a lion, a flame in her hand, the lion's tail a snake coiling around her. 
(one of my favorite Strength cards ever!)Jolanda Witch Tarot, The World: a lady floats through the sky, spurting golden light out of one tit. Below, the world cradled on the spout of a great whale.

The Bastard Son & The Devil Himself I've only seen one other person mention it ever. Actually messy teenagers, so much trauma you'd need a bigger boat, chilling villains. And love triangle? Nope! They do the thing we always want them to do when there's three characters in that situation 👉👈

I was concerned the oversized Buffy Tarot would be tricky to get hold of soon, Curious Travels Tarot I've been wanting for a while, and the Dune tarot actually looks good!

You could pick up Songbirds, Badger + Coyote, Midnight Muscadines, and Rosewood Abbey for ten buckaroos!
Songbirds is an adventure game inspired by OSR and Storygame traditions that focuses on body horror and haunted shit. You are the canary (adventurer) in the coal mine (dungeon). You go where others won't trying to help spirits find rest, since the god of death is slacking.Badger + Coyote is an asymmetrical, GM-less duet game. Badger and Coyote are trying to survive and thrive each day with their own unique skills.

Players can speak to each other to narrate the story and the actions of Badger and Coyote, but do not directly speak in-game. Instead, Coyote uses their social skills to help direct Badger. Badger has no social skills to initiate communication, but many skills to achieve the goals of obtaining food.Magic is waning. The last of the sun’s shards illuminate only a small valley of the world, while the remainder is bathed in perpetual Wildernight.

Roots of the elusive Midnight Muscadines grow deep into the earth, concentrating the last tendrils of magic into its grapes. Find, collect, and preserve these grapes into highly coveted jams, sustaining the world’s magic.Rosewood Abbey is a roleplaying game about upholding the truth no matter the consequences. 

It is inspired by Umberto Eco’s novel The Name of the Rose, its 1986 film adaptation, and the British mystery television series Cadfael.

This Carved from Brindlewood (PbtA) game is for 3 to 6 players. It works well for one-shots but truly shines for short campaigns, thanks to its unique "Rumor Mill" story-building mechanism.

I actually though the Buffy tarot cured me of lusting after new decks, it's been so good to use. But two days ago I got my eyes on the Curious Travels tarot, and I'm considering picking it up as a birthday treat for myself.

This is a handy chart of you have a hard time coming up with a comment to leave. For me, if a line hits really hard while I'm reading, I copy it so I can paste it when I've finished. Telling the writer you had An Emotion also works really well! (made me cry, smile, cheer, angry, etc)
Every Comment Counds, A Reader's Guide by MromiTosen: square one, even a tiny note can brighten an author's day ("loved this!", "omg this made me smile!", "thanks for writing!"). Square two, The Quick Highlight: Pick One Thing That Stuck Out ("that line about the star was gorgeous", "I really liked how you write Xs dialogue", "the pacing in this chapter kept me hooked!"). Square three, The Reader Reaction: Share how the story made you feel ("I laughed out loud at the kitchen scene", "that twist punched me in the gut [affectionate]", "I'm rooting for them so hard now"). Square four, Deep Engagement: for when you've got the energy to write more (call out multiple details you enjoyed, connect it to canon or other fics you've read, write your commentary as you read along). 

Any level of comment is valid.
