TarotWeaver

In TarotWeaver several players take on the role of Weavers, fate-bound individuals fighting for their place in a world teeming with whimsy and danger. One person acts as The Oracle, TarotWeaver's version of the Game Master. The Oracle serves as a referee and collaborator. They create challenging adventures and interpreting the cards as the Weavers move through the world.

TarotWeaver is a classless game, allowing players the freedom to create and envision the characters they want to play. TarotWeaver's game system features a comprehensive background generator, a flexible spell system that allows for hundreds of possible spell combinations, 56 traits,  and the power to generate entire adventures using the Major Arcana. TarotWeaver allows a quick and intuitive way to start roleplaying.

Taking inspiration from games like Whitehack, His Majesty the Worm, Cairn, Into the Odd, and Dungeon World, TarotWeaver uses a simple “draw under” system that allows for diverse outcomes and engaging gameplay.

In TarotWeaver, as Weavers move through the world they will be asked to make checks by the Oracle. To succeed in a check the Weaver must draw a card from the Fate Deck (the Minor Arcana + The Fool), trying to draw equal to or under their Aspect score (Swords, Wands, Cups, Pentacles). If the card draw is under and matches the Aspects suit, it's a success. If the card drawn is under but a different suit, the result is a complicated success. Training in skills allows players to leverage their hands instead of drawing directly from the Fate Deck, giving them some control over the outcomes.

We plan to launch a printed version of the game complete with a 78 card tarot deck on Kickstarter here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/themimicsvault/tarotweaver-a-tarot-based-ro...
