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.

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.

No one cracked artificial intelligence - but some tinkerers did figure out perpetuals machines!

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 I originally made the cards in square format, but decided to change them to regulars 2.5x3.5 inch so it would be easy to....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.
