You probably mean, *not* sprawling too much 😉

Let me know if you'd like me to collect the thoughts I had into a document when you're ready. ☺️

All the best for Ex Tenebris! Can't wait to see the books and take them for another spin!

That sounds awesome! Let me know if you'd like to hang out over video and talk about it.

I love the idea of a combination with Biome and Polis, or of "extracting" a shared engine for your worldbuilding games...

Sunrise was great in playtesting! Is this the same version, or an updated draft you're trying out?

This is great! Signed up. Still remember our game design and art budgeting talk from last November. Solarpunk FTW!

Like you said, it's a really rich space! At some point, I want to design my own cards, but at this early stage I'm still learning to interpret card spreads well.

I came from scene-based zero prep one shot story games like Microscope, Fiasco and For the Queen, and I'm working on my prompt writing.

I'm still waiting to get my physical copy of spindlewheel delivered - are you considering making rooms for each spindlewheel games on pcio for online play?

I love about Spindlewheel that it focuses on language prompts, while the tarot utilizes the visual symbols on the card face pic. A good match.

You're completely right! I just downloaded Spindlewheel Forever, and it's a lot to get through. I'm wondering about your process - are you doing a lot of solo spreads, or do you test everything with other players? I'm new to tarot cards in roleplaying, but I love how they work differently from dice.

I feel this a lot.

That's awesome! I wrote you a dm, not knowing you might not see it 😅

I was experimenting with mixing spindlewheel and the tarot - like other RPGs are using major and minor arcana in different ways. Is that something you ever played around with?

Would be delighted to hear your thoughts/opinions!
