Obsession Goldlust

Obsession is a new playing cards project explicitly dedicated to a theme that lies at the heart of many of my creations.

Obsession Lore

Even if you’ve never known her, you’ve probably always loved her. She has given you joy and purpose. And at the same time, she’s kept you awake at night. 

That’s just the way the Goddess is—blessed fairy and cursed witch in one, always greater than the thing that seems most important. Fighting her is a war lost before it begins. Controlling her? Absurd.

But we can follow her lead, try to make her our ally. By calling her by her name. By calling her Obsession.

Court cards, explained

The court cards portray the many faces of Obsession, from money to hate.

• KoH – Sacrifice, QoH – Love, JoH – Lust
• KoS – Identity, QoS – Faith, JoS – Hate
• KoC – Knowledge, QoC – Curiosity, JoC – Productivity
• KoD – Greed, QoD – Chance, JoD – Fun

The Great Sage

The Jokers serve as the ad cards for Obsession. One of them features The Great Sage, an ancient wise man from the past. Once revered in the cold north, he holds the knowledge to help you gain a sliver of control over the Goddess. Heed his advice.

Liquid Miracles

The Goddess’s greatest gift—an elixir that turns dreams into reality. Anything is possible if you believe enough.
