What it is about

A solo fantasy dice rolling & tarot story game You remember a voice commanding you to rise. But you can’t bring to light the face of the mage who called you, nor picture what happened to them after you took your first stumbling steps. You must find a new source of magic at all costs. Because lately, you realize that sunlight and water just aren’t enough. The energy moving your limbs is running dangerously low. Soon you may not be able to move at all. What you need * at least 6d6 dice *Major Arcana tarot cards *Mandrake character sheet, or draw your own *The Revised Rules sheet Card Options *Print and play. You can print the cards from my flower folk deck, and glue them on a dark cardstock backing. Since the flower folk deck is a work-in-progress, I haven't settled on a card back design yet. *No glue. You can print the cards on paper and sleeve them with regular playing cards for support. *No printing! You can use the Major Arcana cards from any deck you already have. Pick two additional cards to be numbers 22 & 23. Credits Drawings and text made by me.  Dice icons used are Dicier , by Speak the Sky, licensed under CC BY 4.0. The Card icons are from icons8 . If you play, thanks very much! Created for the One-Page RPG Jam 2025. This was my first ever game design. I'm leaving the old contest rules up (named Contest Entry Rules) just as an artifact of the whole process.
