Solo Game Draft
I've been brainstorming a solo game based on some ideas I got from the thought experiment I carried out recently. The game tries to fictionalize inside the premise the act of content creation via the Tarot as an idea generator or randomizer, so you take on the role of a purported psychic reading a remote situation via the Tarot.

They come in all kinds of flavors. I have a traditional deck I use for entertainment, a Cosmic Tarot deck I'd like to use for Amber DRPG some day, and the Osho Zen for solo RPGs. The first two would also be useable with the Fortune's Fool RPG.
ReplyDeleteFolks,
ReplyDeleteI realized upon re-reading that I have some clarifications I want to add, specially in regards to locating clues on the map using the grid. I think that the player should keep zooming in on the map grid with X/Y axis rolls until you get a specific enough spot that you 're satisfied with as the location. I will update the document with all that stuff.
At this point I don't really expect much playtesting, and am looking more for initial impressions & criticism. Still, I wanted to pass this along if you don't have a Tarot deck: http://www.tarotlore.com/tarot-reading/
It's an online app, and it's pretty cool as it does three different kinds of spreads for you, and gives you the meanings of each tarot card if you want it. Pretty neat.
Great, thanks Alex Yari!
