OOPS! I Ate A Mushroom And Got Transported To The Fae Realm
A Solo Storytelling Game


YOU WILL NEED: A d12 & the Major Arcana from a tarot deck
(online dice rollers and virtual decks work fine too!)


HOW TO PLAY:


Oops! You ate a weird mushroom and now the forest looks… different.
Roll a d12 to see what (and who) you encounter as you walk, and 1 to 3 tarot cards to tell you more about what you find there. 


[1] A pond or stream
[2] A flower-filled clearing
[3] A hole in the ground
[4] A mirror
[5] A note from another explorer
[6] An unusual animal
[7] A door which seems to lead to nowhere
[8] A cottage
[9] A tall tree with a rope ladder
[10] A fairy ring
[11] A statue
[12] A way home (or is it?)




NOTES:


This is intended as a solo journaling game with a dreamlike vibe, but it’s also intended to be
flexible. If you want to play it with a friend, or make the setting darker/funnier/whatever, it should
hopefully still work. The prompts are open-ended by design - is the animal in 6 unusual
because it talks, it’s a mythical creature, or is it just unexpected to see in a forest? The tarot
cards are intended to give you some ideas, but ultimately it’s your call.


ON RETURNING HOME

You don’t have to. Or you can end the game at any point that feels right. Maybe the mirror or the door take you home. Or to somewhere else entirely. Or maybe you just choose to stay. Maybe this was your real home the whole time.


Try to tell a story that feels interesting to you. Maybe you learn something about yourself. Maybe you solve a mystery. Maybe you just wake up with a headache and the fading memory of a weird dream. Who knows? Have fun.
