This was very cool! I ended up in a different direction than when I started and even switched from writing to myself like a journal, to writing to another person who was separated from my character. I'll have to revisit this later to see what else comes out of it :)
Also, if you don't own any Tarot decks like me, I ended up using virtual dice and a virtual tarot deck (free!). The cards were listed by arcana so I rolled and counted down the list to "pull" my card. They had the traditional artwork, but I'm sure there's one out there with something different too.
I had a lot of fun with this! I recorded my writing in a blog post here. It took about three hours to do, and the time really flew by. I highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a good writing exercise that can be completed in a few hours.
I really enjoyed this game. The prompts keep me writing when I struggle for inspiration, and the framework is loose enough to be compatible with other systems like Plot Unfolding Machine. I enjoyed the journey of recovering memories and thinking about identity. This is the first solo game I completed and I think the prompts were huge in keeping the momentum.
Alright this is pretty dope, i love it. Can we use a set of playing cards instead for this? Sadly I lost my tarot deck years ago....but I know playing cards can be used as an alternative. Just not sure if it will work here. (I'd take a look to find out but i don't want to spoil the prompts for myself before getting the chance to play. ) TT^TT
You wouldn't be able to do the major arcana draw that comes with each prompt, but the prompts themselves could be edited for playing cards! Use the Jack as a Knight, and slide in a Joker to use as the Page. The Joker will have to be transferred to each deck but it should work fine!
