Moonblind | Western Cantos II
A GM-less writing RPG for two players where they play as different characters from The Rider or Steed stories through card divination; story prompts are drawn randomly with a set number each round until one player reaches their goal of 10 cards per draw, and the other has to match up three sets in order. This game is part II of Western Canto's poetry RPG cycle called "A Roleplaying Game for Two Players Exploring Chance & Trust Together With Shared History". It follows a solo poem playing system where players use their card draws together with story prompts and then share the tale to inspire poems on cue or off-the cuff. The game includes tips, an annotated player's example of how three cards are read out loud by each character as well as printable playsheet booklets for quick reference during play sessions. There is also a complete playthrough with two additional players' annotations to provide real world guidance and examples included in the PDFs version that include laser-enhanced artwork from John Harper, creator of Laser's & Feeling's AGON magazine.
