One of the more unusual DerivativeWorks is an [[TarotMotifs Italian-suited tarot]] deck based on a piece of fiction. These typically use characters from the fiction with thematically equivalent major arcana, and sometimes replace the minor arcana suits with something from the adapted material.

There are also numerous other decks based on various non-fiction themes.

Note that some media have unique or special tarot decks as a plot element within the story. Those are ''not'' examples unless they are [[{{Defictionalisation}} defictionalised]].

!!Examples:

[[folder:Based On Fiction]]
* ''Literature/TheLordOfTheRings'' [[http://www.learntarot.com/lrdesc.htm here]].
* ''Franchise/HelloKitty'': [[http://www.themysticeye.com/pics/hello.htm "The Hello Tarot"]] an unauthorized uncolored deck by Joe Rosales. Hello Kitty is on several cards, like The High Priestess and Queen of pentacles. [[KillerRabbit Death is a cute bunny]] riding a horse. The devil is a monkey with the classic goat horns.
* ''[[Literature/LandOfOz Oz]]'' [[http://www.astroamerica.com/t-oz.html here]].
* ''Literature/AliceInWonderland'' [[http://alice.wolfcrews.com/ "The Wonderland Tarot"]] deck designed by Christopher and Morgana Abbey. Unlike most decks, all of the Major Arcana remain the same. Instead, the Minor Arcana's suits are different to reflect ''Wonderland'' symbolism: Cups become Hats, Pentacles are Oysters, Staves change to Peppermills, and Swords turn to Flamingos.
* ''Manga/{{X 1999}}'' [[https://xtvclamp.fandom.com/wiki/Tarot_Cards here]].
* TabletopRPG ''TabletopGame/MageTheAscension'' had its own themed tarot deck, and a lot of tarot symbolism in the game. The cover image for the main sourcebook was The Magician card, renamed, of course, The Mage.
** ''TabletopGame/MageTheAwakening'' has one as well. Fitting, since the [[TarotMotifs Tarot Motif]] is a large part of the game's mythos.
* Franchise/CthulhuMythos [[http://www.tarotpassages.com/lovecrft.htm here]] [[http://e23.sjgames.com/item.html?id=HITE002 and here]].

* ''Fairy Tales'' [[http://www.thefairytaletarot.com/ here]]. Many of the Major Arcana are changed to represent either specific fairy tales or stock characters: for example, the Empress and Emperor become the FairyGodmother and EccentricMentor, respectively, while the Hanged Man is Entrapment (represented by ''Literature/{{Rapunzel}}'') and the Tower is Deception (which shows a picture of ''Literature/TheEmperorsNewClothes'').
* ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'': [[https://www.forfansbyfans.com/homestuck-tarot-cards-acts-6-and-7-18845.html 78 cards based off of Acts 6 & 7]].

* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'':
** [[http://rannva.deviantart.com/art/Pony-Tarot-Deck-Major-Arcana-315022842 "Pony Tarot Deck"]] by Rannva. A full deck with the 22 Major Arcana and the 4 suits. All Major Arcana except Lovers and Justice have been renamed, The Fool is Silly Filly, the Devil is Discord etc.
** [[http://janeesper.deviantart.com/gallery/43288711 The "Friendship is Tarot" series]] by Janeesper. A full deck with the 22 Major Arcana, and the 4 suits (with 2 completed). The theming and the card names stay the same, with [[ShownTheirWork explanations]] given for each tie-in.
* There was an official tie-in tarot deck (major arcana only) of {{ComicBook/WITCH}}. Sadly, it doesn't seem to be on the internet.
* The ''Webcomic/SkinHorse'' [[http://skin-horse.com/comic/2013-12-08 Moments of Awesome Tarot]] by Sam Dyuaaxchs.
* A ''VideoGame/{{Dishonored}}'' [[http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd286/cleveridea/20121009_124711.jpg tarot deck]] came with the special edition. It has mostly different cards than the standard deck representing major characters or distinctive enemy types on the cards.
* At the back of ''Turtle Recall'', the 2012 edition of ''The Literature/{{Discworld}} Companion'', are the rules for Cripple Mr Onion, adapted for use with "the official caroc deck". Sadly, the official caroc deck appears to be in DevelopmentHell, but fan versions have been circulating. The Discworld caroc deck has [[ArcNumber eight]] suits (the four tarot suits, plus Elephants, Turtles, Crowns and Octograms), plus the Major Arcana, some of which have different names. (''Literature/TheLightFantastic'' mentions The Importance of Washing the Hands [probably Temperance], The Dome of the Sky [maybe The World?] and The Pool of Night [possibly The Moon, although The Moon is mentioned in ''Literature/LordsAndLadies''] as well as Death and The Star. The illustration in ''The Companion'' shows a card called The Ruler that is drawn to resemble Lord Vetinari.)
* ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'' [[http://quas-quas.deviantart.com/art/Super-Smash-Tarot-Clow-Deck-Major-Arcana-518565264 here]] (also factoring in [[Anime/CardcaptorSakura Clow Cards]]).
* The ''Comicbook/JusticeLeague'' tarot [[http://www.craveonline.com/art/922389-exclusive-first-look-dc-comics-justice-league-tarot-card-deck with art by Sara Richardson]].
* A fan-made ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}'' [[http://dogbomber.tumblr.com/post/132310526044/here-it-is-the-full-set-of-undertale-tarot-cards deck]], with a fun bonus Minor Arcana card and three joke cards. [[AscendedFanboy It ended up being sold as]] [[https://www.fangamer.com/products/undertale-tarot-cards official merchandise.]]
* ''Podcast/WelcomeToNightVale'' [[http://bonesnail.tumblr.com/post/78914229578/wtnv-tarot-card-masterpost here]].
* ''VisualNovel/UminekoWhenTheyCry'' [[http://whenghoulscry.tumblr.com/post/100441038350/umineko-official-tarot-cards-part-1-more here]] .
* The author of ''Webcomic/CritterCoven'' started [[https://lucheek.deviantart.com/art/CC-Tarot-0-740854626 a tarot deck]] when her Patreon reached $100 a month.
* Naturally, there are at least a few ''VideoGame/Persona5'' decks, such as [[https://www.etsy.com/listing/561437267/full-persona-5-tarot-cards-set-all-78?gpla=1&gao=1&&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=shopping_us_b-art_and_collectibles-artist_trading_cards&utm_custom1=2306e598-cc5f-4a63-af72-b1a4effcc18b&utm_content=go_304499555_22746194675_78727435595_pla-116591723369_c__561437267&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIo4rThY3x4AIVuR6tBh1LVAlbEAQYASABEgJSFvD_BwE this one]] available for sale on Etsy.
* The "Sixth World Tarot" is based on ''TabletopGame/{{Shadowrun}}''. While it's a pretty standard tarot deck, it changes the names of several major arcana. For example, XV (The Devil) is renamed "The Dragon", showing an image of [[TheDreaded Lofwyr]]'s human form standing in shadow, while The Fool is renamed The Bastard (showing a picture of Harlequin). A supplement includes adventure hooks themed around the cards appearing in-universe.
* ''Anime/YuriOnIce'' has one, [[https://twitter.com/yoitarotproject Arcana on Ice]].
* ''Website/SCPFoundation'' has a fan-made set [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/sunny-art-scp-cards/ featured on the site]].
* ''Series/GameOfThrones'' has an [[https://www.chroniclebooks.com/game-of-thrones-tarot.html officially licensed deck]] featuring various characters.
* Somebody on reddit created a deck including the major arcana and the four aces using images from the ''Manga/{{Beastars}}'' manga. [[https://www.reddit.com/r/Beastars/comments/dkvk9i/i_made_some_beastars_themed_tarot_cards_part_1/ here]], [[https://www.reddit.com/r/Beastars/comments/dkvkjt/i_made_some_beastars_themed_tarot_cards_part_2/ here]], [[https://www.reddit.com/r/Beastars/comments/dl5jfe/spoilers_i_made_even_more_beastars_inspired_tarot/ and here]].
* The uniquely styled tarot cards in ''Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureStardustCrusaders'' is very commonly [[{{Defictionalisation}} defictionalised]]. [[https://imgur.com/gallery/pAXgLv2 Here]].
* The [[https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/774143958/tarot-of-the-hours?ref=shop_home_feat_1&bes=1 Tarot of the Hours]], featuring items, symbols, and characters from ''VideoGame/CultistSimulator''. The names of the major arcana are also changed.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheNightmareBeforeChristmas'', which changes the names of the Minor Arcana suits [[https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/The-Nightmare-Before-Christmas-Tarot-Deck-and-Guidebook/Minerva-Siegel/9781683839699 here]].
* ''VideoGame/FallenLondon'' has a few fan created sets such as [[https://snippity.tumblr.com/tagged/neathy-arcana this set]] of 21 cards.
* A fan-made ''VideoGame/{{Wandersong}}'' [[https://sleepingjuliette.tumblr.com/post/190519833249/wandersong-fools-journey-all-together-and-in deck]] with the Major Arcana.
* The Tarokka is an in-universe Tarot-like card deck in ''TabletopGame/{{Ravenloft}}'', which was defictionalised as part of the 1992 boxed set ''Forbidden Lore''. The Major Arcana is called the High Deck, and is completely different from the real world version, instead portraying various sinister forces in the Demiplane of Dread. The Low Deck (Minor Arcana) suits are Swords, Coins, Stars and Glyphs, each representing a different CharacterClass (Fighters, Rogues, Wizards and Clerics), and with each number representing a different CharacterAlignment (each suit only has one court card, called the Master).
* An idiosyncratic example is [[https://www.eblong.com/zarf/uncarrot/complete.html the Uncarrot Tarot]], a fan-created TabletopGame/TheAwfulGreenThingsFromOuterSpace-themed tarot deck created by InteractiveFiction developer Creator/AndrewPlotkin during his youth. Amongst the minor arcana, wands/staves become pencils and show Frathms, swords become hammers and show Snudlians, cups become [[TheHilarityOfHats silly hats]] and show Smbalites, coins/pentacles become floppy disks and show Redundans, and the court ranks are knight, knave, king and hitchhiker (in that order). The eclectic major arcana (such as "the captain", "the doctor", "the robot") are accompanied by "meta arcana" showing concepts related to card design or card decks themselves (e.g. "the misprint"), and "miscarcana" which are named as if they were minor arcana, but do not make up complete suits (including both a "five of kings" and a "king of fives").
