Divination is a revolutionary new #TTRPG in which the rich imagery of #Tarot drives character, worldbuilding, and gameplay in place of dice. https://bit.ly/m/divinationrpg

The Hierophant from the Divination RPG tarot deck, depicted here in a surreal style where their face is a door swinging open (with a key unlocking their forehead). They are holding a stone tablet out before them, and the writing on the tablet becomes a staircase on which tiny people are ascending up and through the open door. They hold up two fingers. Text reads: "It's the final two hours to back Divination RPG"

Text reads: "TFW one part of your brain is like" and we see a screenshot from an actual play of one player looking extremely devious. Further text reads: "While the rest of your brain is" and we see a screenshot of three additional actual play players with various degrees of shock and horror on their faces.

The Shark may prepare any full-sized mirror to become a trap for the first human who makes eye contact with their reflection within it. That person becomes trapped inside the reflected room, which is a frozen facsimile of the world outside.
A young man pulls back a curtain covering a mirror and is just about to catch his reflection in it. Past him, the hallway is lined with ornate art nouveau mirrors, each of which seems to have a person trapped inside. All seem to be trying to warn him. At the end of the hallway, a tall lanky figure stands in shadow. The light from behind the figure casts their even longer shadow onto the floor toward the young man.

In our Temperance card we see an Artist going about their daily life when they stumble across a brave orchid struggling to grow in an alley. The Artist uses Transmutation to re-form what they have on hand—their favorite scarf—to water the tiny living thing.⁣
A modern interpretation of the Temperance tarot card. A person with short hair wearing jeans and a puffy jacket stands in a graffiti-covered alley. There are what appear to be angel wings behind them—are they part of the person? Or simply graffiti on the walls behind? The person stands next to a grate which has a small flower growing out of it. The person is holding their scarf between their hands, and the scarf appears to be transforming into water which runs into the grate with the flower. The art described in the previous image, but shown here in its full form, extended beyond the edges of the tarot card.

The Artist pictured on our Chariot card experiences the promise of power offered by the Road of Two Lands. That power must be balanced—used with Temperance, you might say—to avoid falling into the traps of ego and hubris.⁣

We're 71% funded! kck.st/3HfwpxD
The Chariot card from the tarot. In this modern version, a person stands with one foot on a dark car and their other foot on a light car. Behind them are the shape of a lotus in the sky, and two gleaming cities in the distance—one light and one dark, echoing the cars. The person's eyes are closed, their palms out at their sides, and they look in control and at peace. The art described in the previous image, but shown here in its full form, extended beyond the edges of the tarot card. The art described in the first image once more, but this time mocked up onto a book laying open. The scene extends even further this time, with the light car stretching onto the facing page. That page reads "The Road of Two Lands" at the top, with some text too small to read filling the rest of the page.

Being an indie game designer means finding different ways to prototype your stuff. In the very early days of we used wooden tokens and drew the various symbols on them with Sharpie. This flashback from 2022 shows some behind-the-scenes when we started 3D printing them instead!
Several 3D printed tokens with various symbols on them laying on a piece of cardboard with spray paint markings all over it. Some are black, and others have a layer of gold over the black. There is a small sponge and tube of gold Rub'n'Buff laying open near them.

If you checked out our Kickstarter yesterday, you know Joana's eight Aspects are not the only artwork we've had in our pocket. We also unveiled this absolutely stunning piece by contributing artist @swansongart, bringing to life THE FLOWER DREAM. See more at kck.st/3HfwpxD !
A psychedelic illustration of a huge lotus flower. A glowing moon hangs above it, and it is flanked by two glowing cities - a light one on the left and a dark one on the right. Ghostly figures make their way toward the lotus, and some appear to be drinking a brightly colored dew from its petals.

This HANGED ONE is a labyrinthine city; an ever-growing metropolis defying both gravity and the mind. They’re an architect, but also the architecture. Always in a state of change, they gain new faces to match their new skills.⁣

ONLY 24 HOURS!!!! kck.st/3HfwpxD
The Hanged Man card from the tarot, renamed here to Hanged One and pictured in the traditional upside-down pose but in an extreme surrealist style. Their body is an Escher-inspired structure of stairs and hallways, populated by tiny people. They have four faces, and are suspended in air above a curving road through the sky which begins and books and becomes buildings, or vice-versa. The art described in the previous image, but shown here in its full form, extended beyond the edges of the tarot card. Text on a dark background: Divination RPG, ONE DAY to Kickstarter!

THE HERMIT is alone, but not alone. He sits by himself at a remote wilderness campfire inside his mind. As he solves the puzzles of the world, he sends the solutions back to us through his phone.

TWO DAYS to Kickstarter!!! kck.st/3HfwpxD
The Hermit card from the tarot, pictured here in a surrealist style. We see an illustration of a man holding a rubik's cube. It is solved, and the individual pieces are falling into his phone which he holds in the other hand. His face is floating a few inches in front of his head and we see puzzle pieces behind it. The top of his head is gone, and inside we see a tiny figure in repose beside a tiny campfire. The art described in the previous image, but shown here in its full form, extended beyond the edges of the tarot card. Text on a dark background: Divination RPG, 2 Days to Kickstarter!

THE HIEROPHANT is a message and ladder and a leader, helping his flock ascend by offering them written knowledge. He is unlocked by a mystic key, a symbol of the responsibility one undertakes when they mean to build something that lasts.⁣

THE EMPEROR appraises the world as a high-tech satellite, adorned in what may be communications antennae, or weaponry. He holds the world in his hand, but is he guarding it, or about to crush it in his fist?

THE MAGICIAN is the spirit of creative, decisive force, and this one embodies that as an ephemeral chemist of sorts. They’re a chemical reaction causing chemical reactions, using the raw elements of the world. kck.st/3HfwpxD
A tarot card: The Magician, pictured as a swirling cloud of bright colors holding a magnifying glass shaped like the infinity symbol. They investigate a beaker, and many beakers surround them. Close-up, fully expanded version of the Magician art pictured in the tarot card in the other image.

THE FOOL has manifested today as a ball cap, gathering the clothes and trappings of youth up around themself to complete the look. They give you a mischievous wink while paying attention to many things... except the next step.

EIGHT DAYS to Kickstarter! kck.st/3HfwpxD
The Fool tarot card - a brightly colored, modern scene with what appears to be a boy - but is actually an oversized ball cap with eyes, with the imagined body of a boy beneath it. The cap is winking at you instead of looking where it's going, and is about to step off into a pit.
