The alternative reality project is the combining of the two universes seen on the Plymslayer RPG boards, the Plymslayer universe and the Guardian universe. It takes existing Plymslayer and Guardian characters and changes their world settings, what if the Slayer line stopped and what if no more Slayers were called? Would people still be the way they are, would they still fight for good, or would they change sides?

The Alternative reality asks these questions and tells a new story along the lines of the classic Arthurian legend. The Slayer line is gone and evil has a new face, that of Alice Tyler the chief assassin of the midnight society. The balance looks grim, but there is hope, the Guardian Mage Max Thames has a plan and a sword, bringing with him the sword of the King, Excalibur, and Dave Lytton, the one man who can use the sword, he seeks to sort out the Balance. Told over a ten year period the Alternative reality brings all the major characters within the two universes together, to tell a new and different story.

The tarot project is based on the Alternative Reality writing project. These illustrate the story and the characters. The 22 cards of the Major Arcana are used to represent pivotal moments within the story or important characters. The underlying meaning of each card remains and helps add to the illustration.

All the illustrations have been done using two programs, Corel Painter 7, Adobe Photoshop 7, and a Wacom Volito graphics tablet. All the work is free hand and done in most cases without reference. On average each card takes about 6 hours.
