Wayfaring Strangers
Hey there, stranger. Come on in. Take off those old boots, lay down your bundle, pull up a chair. Have a drink. You might as well get comfortable - it’s gettin’ real bad out there. Like as not we’re all gonna be here for a while. ***** Wayfaring Strangers tell the story of a group of travelers brought together by wild weather, and the tales they tell until dawn. It is a GMless Tarot-based RPG about companionship and storytelling. It uses a Tarot-drawing mechanic to generate prompts for the stories, and is inspired by Where the Water Tastes Like Wine and Neil Gaiman's October in the Chair. You can hear Wayfaring Strangers being played on Playtest Power Hour, a podcast that runs indie RPGs in development, on your podcast app of choice.
