The Everyway RPG, from 1995, wasn't a great system, but it had elements which seemed to have made it into the solo rpg community. It came with a vision deck, that had pictures on the front and questions on the back to help you create characters and situations. It also came with its own tarot deck. Each character had a virtue, flaw and fate that were represented by specific cards. When they came up in game, special things would happen as a result.
Interesting… I have not heard of that. Thanks for the comment.
Right off the bat I’m impressed that you have “the hermetic tarot” on your table!…a wealth of symbols and one of my favorites!
You’re wonderful as always!
Thanks for doing what you do👍🏼
Thank You for this. As a Tarot lover and user for over 45 years, I am loving to see how it can be used with a TTRPG, one of my other life long loves. Thanks again.
What a wonderful video! I adore Tarot and am just starting to dip my toe into TTRPG, especially solo play. I've got several decks now specifically in the hopes of using them with RPG's.
The Adventurer's Tarot The Empress Deck is a 100+ Oracle card deck with some similarities to Tarot, based on D&D. It's gorgeous and can work with many RPG's. It comes with an additional reference of creating an entirely new player class of Oracle, with all the relevant stats as well as how to use the deck as a player moving through different levels. The deck also comes with several bonus resources for using the deck with gaming. Tabletop Tarot is a Rider-Waite-Smith clone in fantasy rpg style. There's also the Spread Crafters Quest Deck from Fables Den, which can be used in similar ways. Those are just a few.
There's also the Eldritch Overlord Tarot, from the makers of the Adventurer's Tarot, set in a more futuristic, cyberpunk setting. There's also a literal Dungeons and Dragons Tarot deck that was released not too long ago. And soon to be released (I think) will be a Find Your Own Adventure Tarot.
There's lots of mini Tarot decks available now. You just have to be careful to make sure to purchase a legitimately published deck and not a pirated/counterfeit deck.
I found on a reddit thread a link to a pdf from Benebell Wen, highly respected in the Tarot community, as a resource for the Hermetic Tarot. I can't post a link, but try a google search with "Benebell Wen mathers and felkin golden dawn book T the Tarot 1888" Hopefully that will get you to her blog or post. Otherwise you could message Benebell and see if she could get you a link.
I also found this on a reddit as well "I'm going to stand by both the book "Tarot Deciphered" and the podcast "Fortune's Wheelhouse." Both were created by the same people. That book and podcast will provide a broader overview of how Hermetic Qabalah, Astrology, and any other parts work together."
Hopefully that can help you get started with delving deeper into the Hermetic Tarot.
Thanks for all the really useful info!
Very good -- spice for the Story Soup.
For the “Hermetic Tarot”, the best reference book I’ve found is in Israel Regardie’s book, “The Golden Dawn”….
In this book exists a collection of manuscripts called “Book T”, which is the best source for information on this tarot that I have come across 👍🏼
Thank you. I will check that out!
Ooooo this is something I have seriously been looking for! Excited to watch!
Jon here from Fallen Dominion Studios-Loved this video! Very thoughtful and it certainly gave me some really great ideas! I also just ordered your book! Excited to check it out!
Thanks for your support!
Starting with characters, then applying the draw to a party would be a helpful example. As is, I see how a story could be made, like aid in writing a book, but not so much an emergent adventure.
Yes I agree! Realized that a bit late.
A Game Idea and Story came to me while the Reading was being done:
Intro: Brother and Sister in an Aristocratic Family. Brother ascends in Title, while Sister is overlooked.
Distraught, the Daughter is wandering the Marketplace, observing the Merchants, The Guild System, and realizes That is her Pathway to The Power She Should've Gotten.
The Game becomes a Late Medieval/Early Renaissance Era of Mercantile Power Vs Aristocratic Power.
Utilizing Merchant Guilds against Royal Houses, and/or Vice Versa. 😃
Yeah, you can add Magic and Dragons, etc. But, then, you're just playing Game of Thrones by that time.😁
Love this! Thanks for sharing it!
Thank you for loving it. 😁
I picked up a physical copy of your book at GaryCon this past March. Thank you for writing it.
Thank you for purchasing it!
Excelente video, super interesante y útil para los que jugamos en solitario, seguramente lo voy a implementar en mis juegos, saludos desde México
Thanks for this video. Sometimes it confirms it is not something for me. What drew me to tarot at first was the mysticism but seeing the use I rather use a more 'straightforward' system with prompts.
Thanks for watching and commenting
Love this. Are you aware of anything similar, but drawing crystals from a bag?
Sorry, no…
