Review
From the Author
I poured this out in a tortured couple of weeks and was halfway through before I realised I'd bitten off more than I could chew. So only the major arcana are represented.
On the one hand, it's very interactive, because I was new to IF and really liked all the things I could make the library classes do.
On the other hand, I hid some hints a little too well, so the many comments the personifications can make never really got seen. The Fool says, in a throwaway line early on, 'Ask them about [topics to ask about].' Unfortunately the line was a little too throwaway; I don't think anyone asked the characters anything. For extra fun, ask the Empress about life, or about art.
I was pleased that a bit of a who's who of the IF world thought it was okay (http://members.aol.com/iffyart/reviews5.htm). After some years out there, it doesn't seem to contain any real bugs to fix. All in all, not bad for first try, I think.
If I were to alter it, which I might one day, I think I'd leave the outline and the cards the same. I'd just implement even more interactivity and better interraction between the many portable items.
