The Waiting Game

Waiting for the bus, something we do every day. Sometimes alone but usually surrounded by other strangers. We are all waiting for the same thing to happen, for the bus to arrive. But once it does and we board we have different destinations expecting us. Even if two people share the same destination their reason for travelling is never the same. 

Getting on the bus is not so important on its own, but getting to our next desired destination, moving forward in life step by step, is at the center of living. So what if your ability to do so was taken away from you. Sometimes it feels like the bus will never arrive. Like the world trying to keep me from it. What if this was true? We spend a lot of time stuck waiting for life. Is the time spent waiting wasted? Stuck waiting for the midnight bus during a torrential downpour. 

Like At The Monarch's Gate, this TTRPG uses tarot instead of dice rolling as its main gameplay mechanic. In order to play you will need a full deck of tarot cards. 

I hope the players have fun. That’s all I really want out of the game. I designed it to encourage deep character development, conflict, and reflection. But if none of that happens and players still enjoy themselves, I’ll be happy with it.
