Deep dives
Successful Kickstarter Campaign
The Kickstarter campaign for the erotic tarot of Georges Bataille named Acephalus exceeded its initial financial goals after initial uncertainty. Many supporters rallied toward the end of the campaign, providing abundant backing, which contributed to its overall success. As a result, backers can expect to receive either a limited edition tarot deck or the accompanying book of essays later in the year. Additionally, there is a planned surplus that may go on sale in the late summer or fall of 2025 for those who missed the initial support opportunity.
