Does anyone know of anyone who makes amber tarot cards, either selling a printed deck or images that can be printed easily, or images of the Tarot de Ambre deck that are of a printable quality?

Just to engage in a little thread necromancy, if you have not resolved your tarot needs.  Do check out the Norbert Losche's Cosmic Tarot.  Not only is it still in print, it has a great look, and refers to the pages and knights as princes and princesses.  I actually consider it a better (and much easier to get) deck for RPG purposes than the french one.

Thanks for the tip. I have the French Amber deck and have to say that it really isn't very Amber-like at all. The artwork doesn't inspire me and the majority of the cards aren't major arcana and thus have nothing to do with Amber. I only keep the deck because of sentimental reasons and the fact that it's "official" Amber.

What I would really like to see is a deck based on some of the artwork of the guys that illustrated the covers of the novels because when I think of Amber the book covers come to mind a lot. I like the old black covered paperbacks from Ron Walotsky quite a bit, as well as the series done by Tim White covers. I would have loved to have one of those guys do an Amber deck.
