Our group of five played around with Open Tarot today! We were using a Thoth deck and a concise interpretation guide one of us wrote. We made a world together and decided to go GMless, so we made a character each.
We spent quite a while on worldbuilding and character creation, partly because we're not necessarily all versed in tarot interpretation but also because we were enjoying the process.
We then set up a quest and played out a few scenes, pretty free form as to resolution of challenges. It was a satisfying experience overall, the only minor issues I had was having to consolidate multiple cards in a spread, their interpretations and what they signified in Open Tarot (which would be easier if I were more familiar with tarot decks).
Specific feedback from our group:
- The prompts were good, especially around worldbuilding
- Fleshing out the challenge mechanic with more structure might have been beneficial
- Open Tarot might work very well for building out a set of mythology for a world.
Thank you for making and sharing Open Tarot, and giving us a fun time <3
