Welcome to Delicious Enigmas!
Where the fiction's made up and the rolls don't matter! Well, they do matter, but it all depends on interpretation...
Caught in the Rain is a solo mystery game that uses playing cards and dice to tell a story, created by Nicholas Robinia and published by the Ravensridge Emporium. I backed the project on kickstarter and I'm so glad I did because I am in love! The book is filled with prompts and ideas that can be interpreted in twisty ways and expanded on forever. Playing this game feels like you're writing a new story (which you are, let's be real) one scene at a time, with no idea what's going on! It's so much fun and it really scratches that creative itch.
The end result of a game looks like a rough draft of a story- not something I'd normally want to share seriously, but I do want to share the small fictions that emerge.
You can find a digital copy of Caught in the Rain here and a physical copy here- one day I'll have physical copy myself...
