The Dead
Ouim has been seeing me play Solo RPG and was curious about how it worked. So today we did a quick exercise-ish one I found on itch. The Dead by Marrensmusings gives 5 questions to create a story behind a dead skeleton using a deck of tarot.
We played this over a video call using the Thoth tarot. To be precise, Ouim did. I just shuffled the cards and guided him. I wanted to make my own skeleton but when Ouim effortlessly told the wackiest story I knew I couldn’t beat it. Seriously, he has a twisted sense of humour and is the funniest when he isn’t trying to be. With less than 10 minutes he made a story that made me laugh out loud. I’m glad he enjoyed it and hopefully he’d join me in Wanderhome.
Ouim’s play
Who were you? (Knight of Wands) a horse of a gladiator
Where are you? (Prince of Wands) At the Colosseum
Who killed you? (2 of Wands) Gods. My master was a good enough gladiator. But his next opponent was better. (10 of Swords) So he did voodoo dark magick during the match which killed the opponent. People thought it was f* up. So did the gods; they went “Nah dude, you went too far. You can’t do that.” So they struck my master and me. I’m mad because I wasn’t even the target.
Regrets? I wished I worked at a circus. Gladiator was good, I got treated well but it’s hard work you know. But at circus, it’s safer and I get to travel. I should’ve listened to my mum and worked at a circus.
