What it is about
Artemis bellows with rage-induced tears in her moon-bright eyes.
Orion has been slain.
You witness a scorpion skitter away from the scene of the crime. There goes the murder weapon.
The question is, who sent it?
Inspired by Greek myth and H.D.'s poem "Orion Dead," this solo journaling RPG places you in the sandals of Artemis's second in command, tasked with sussing out Orion's killer. To do this, you'll use only one d6 and a standard deck of playing cards to communicate with gods, interact with your fellow hunters, and gather clues to solve the mystery.
All you need to play is one d6 and a standard deck of playing cards. A complete standalone solo journaling roleplaying game with no prior RPG experience needed.
