Tarot of the Trunk
The GameCrafter divination sale for Tarot of the Trunk has come and gone. I sold a good number of decks and expansions, and I’m pleased! My total profit is miniscule in comparison to the amount of time I’ve spent on this project, but I’m glad that decks and cards are going out to people. This was also the first time I tried advertising, on both Facebook and Reddit. There is a lot to learn on that front, but I was glad to get my feet wet and get an idea of how that process goes.
The Ragged Ringmaster
I also did my first live readings at a local market last weekend! It was circus themed, so I came up with a ringmaster character. The plan was to do one card readings from my patchwork deck to engage with people and talk about Tarot of the Trunk, and also to sell full readings, Multiverse of Magic cards, and loose tarot and oracle cards from my patchwork collection. While I didn’t make enough to cover what I spent on my table fee, I did sell a couple readings, and I got to talk to a lot of people about Tarot of the Trunk. I also sold quite a few Multiverse of Magic cards, and it was fun to see people responding to the card even if they weren’t particularly interested in patchwork tarot.
I’m not sure what the way forward is on this, for both Tarot of the Trunk and for reading tarot for others. While I did enjoy doing readings for people, the weekend was very draining overall. For now, I’m going to redirect energy away from tarot-related projects for a while and focus more on Science Fantasy Awesome (see below). Then when I’m feeling fresher I’ll decide where I want to go next.
Science Fantasy Awesome
My unbroken streak of weekly solo RPG videos continues! This last Wednesday, I released the final episode for Gone Solo: Troika! which wraps up that series for now. I’ll talk about what’s coming next for the channel in next week’s video, and I don’t want to spoil it here, but rest assured that weekly videos will continue!
I also recently had a request to share the tables I used for solo play for Troika so I made a blog post here.
I’ve also had a request for a video for general tips for solo play, but I’m still gathering my thoughts about that topic.
I’m really please with how the Troika campaign turned out and I’m really excited about what’s coming next!
