Just released Finders Oracle - an open-ended, evocative deck for #ttrpg, #worldbuilding and #storytelling.

It's simple and doesn't try to focus too much on a specific genre - someone hinted at making a Shadowdark version? We'll see.

All the main land masses are in place, so I'm adding some more details to the map now, this part is fun.

No frill deck shuffler. Drag the card, flip them. Get inspiration for your next solo #ttrpg quest. Write a book?

Been working on a digital version of the Finder Oracle while I'm waiting for the physical sample to arrive.

Yes, I'm using ANTIRUINS so a #dreamcast version is possible 😅

Knowledge comes in many form - a plan, map, discussion, research, etc. Something that we learn that should prove useful (or not) at some point.

Oversight is derived from Knowledge. It is not lack of information, it's the blind spot. A tiny detail that derails your carefully planned heist.

Only to make Radiomata or a glorified potato slicer.

Update on The Finder Oracle - printed some cards and tried them in solo play. So fun to have a tactile way to generate emergent events!

Prototype Cards & First Oracle
Over the weekend, I decided to print the current set and give the cards a try. I originally made the cards in square format, but decided to change them to regulars 2.5x3.5 inch so it would be easy to....

Currently prototyping a new cards project. Wondering which cards format would you like for a #ttrpg oracle deck?

does anyone have recs for neat wandery AA or smaller open world RPGs? small or large is good. i'm feeling like something you can explore in a low key way. collect plants and get lost and do things in the wrong order. i'm into experimental elements, tightly designed systems and world building.
