I second The Odyssey, it certainly deserves a deck so I'll add it to my list of options. I've never heard of Book of the Dead before but I looked it up. It's also an interesting theme to explore though probably in another kind of series. It somewhat reminds me of The Divine Comedy. I think that this kind of works are good enough for series of their own or to be stand alone decks since the themes they cover are so wide and specific at the same time

:lol:

Okay, okay. In all seriousness, I do think that Alice has been done to death, and would recommend against that choice.
50 shades of brown more like it :P with all my respects to anyone that likes it...
that's true, Alice is probably one of the books that has more adaptations. Aside from that, if I have anything to say in the matter, she doesn't stand a chance against Dracula even if I initially added it to the options list

Hmm, so my guess at the theme was wrong .

The Divine Comedy & Alice in Wonderland have both been done to death. Don't get me wrong, I think it's a great theme, there's only so many ways it can be presented tho. I love the Beowulf idea. Similarly I'd like to see a Chanson de Roland deck.

I can see where you could get that idea from, I think I might be secretly obsessed with France since all my decks are traced back to it in one way or another. I agree with you on that, the Divine Comedy is just an amazing theme to do adaptations so it's no wonder that it has been done to death. I'm glad that you like Beowulf :) What do you think about the others I chose?
Chanson de Roland is a good option as well, though it lacks ladies :(
