Cinderella lives in an unpleasant world. Totally dependent on the goodwill of hateful people who do not appreciate her, she lives a life of desperation, hoping to please the people who keep her dependent. A change, an opportunity, a chance to show the world she is something more. A ball. Seizing her life for herself, with some uncommon twists, Cinderella attends the ball, discovers she is a person of value and changes her life and her world.
That’s the Virgin’s Promise.
An ogre lives alone and likes it that way. His home is crashed by displaced fairy tale creatures exiled by their king. The ogre isn’t interested, wants to be left alone. A wise donkey persuades him to help the exiles. Hijinks ensue and the ogre returns to his home with his newfound love. He is a changed person.
That’s the Hero’s Journey.
For 600 years, tarot cards have been used for divination and gameplay. In Divined Journey, the line separating the two is blurred, even erased. Here, you will use tarot cards to divine the nature of the story you are telling.
That combination is Divined Journey.
Divined Journey is a solo journaling game. Throughout the game, you will play as the protagonist in a story, drawing tarot cards to help you determine what is happening at each stage of the story. At every step, you will have guidance on how to layout the cards and what their positions mean in the context of the story structure you've chosen.
To play, you need a deck of tarot cards and something to record your story.
At the end of the game, you'll have a complete story outlined. If you choose to, this could get transformed into a full novel or an adventure for a different game. You will also learn to read tarot cards. The method for understanding the cards varies from reading the book that came with the cards to a fully intuitive reading, or something in between. The game assumes you'll lean towards the intuitive side of that, and details how that works. There is also a cheat sheet at the end to help you remember the process.
