Fully Scripted, Multi-Spread, Multi-Deck, Multi-Table, Tarot System with Automatic Readings!
This is the long-awaited sequel to Tarot DX that includes a number of requested features.
You said you wanted greater control over the cards. This system allows you to select what card you want to show OR choose one at random from the deck. If you select the wrong card, you can choose to return it to the deck. It also incorporates a new highlighting feature so you can draw attention to the card you are discussing. Each card has it's own menu that tells you what the position means and what the card means—tarot in SL has never been easier.
You said you wanted more decks. This completely re-written system allows SL-Savy users to create and add their own decks via notecard. Users can use the existing notecards as templates or edit them to change the meanings and languages. Included are three decks: Rider-Waite, Tarot de Marseille and a deck based on I-Ching. Also for a touch of personalization users can now change the back of the cards to any texture they choose.
You said you wanted more spreads. Each spread is contained in a separate script and users can add their own configurations as well. There are over a dozen spreads and a few original ones as well. Included are the standards: Celtic Cross, Three Card, Horseshoe, Diamond, etcetera. Also included are Zodiac, Heart, Chakra, Sword and scalable spreads for large avs and tinies. Also as examples of the power of the system are a few I just made up for kicks.
You said the pay-to-use sucked. Well, I've completely re-written that as well. Now when a person pays money the Automatic Reading system starts! This new system highlights and reads off the meaning of each position and card. The new feature is also available for users in free mode as well. The ability to change the price of an automatic reading is completely menu-driven this time around.
You said you wanted to be able to use your own tables. This system is made to fit over your own furniture, or even the floor. Just go to Option>Show/Hide. If you need a Table, there is s built-in table rezzer with your choice of tables with scripted color-choosing.

This is a lovely and versatile item to use, in-world, for live tarot readings! However, I'd hesitate to use this in situations in which people just pay to get an auto-reading, because after testing the table with my friends, I've found that they were still quite confused as to what the reading really meant. The reason was because all they had was a very brief explanation of the spread's position, as well as a brief explanation of the card's meaning. My friends did not know how to link the card's meaning with the position in the spread. I would suggest improving the auto-reader by adding in an additional explanation, which could either be an explanation of what certain cards mean in certain positions, such as, "A court card, which mean this, in this position usually means this," or "A major arcan card, which is this type of card, in this position, usually means this." This would likelier be easier to script, rather than going through every individual card and explaining it's meaning in every position in every possible spread, but I am fully aware that even my suggestion will still require a lot of work, so I have no idea how appealing this suggestion would be.
*As a side note, the glitch concerning changing the card backs seems to have been fixed. I have no issues with this.
I agree this is a wonderful way to read tarot cards, however the bug that exists with the backs of the cards is incredibly annoying and should be fixed by the creator ASAP as it is the only major drawback of what is otherwise a very impressive item.
This is brilliant...my only problem with it is that when one tries to change the design on the back of the cards, they flip out. There is a constant "script error" message with the table and it's unfortunate that the creator hasn't yet repaired this, considering that there have been multiple complaints about it. I changed my rating from a 5 to a 3 based on the fact that I haven't heard anything from the creator about any plans to repair this bug.
Great table, but the bug is annoying
