I use Tarot for this.
Divination, yes. I use it as a mental exercise to foster creativity and guide my guesswork. Iโm really good at pattern recognition/extrapolation, and my predisposition to meta-cognition is apparently very high, so I think of it as a way of getting me to consider possibilities I wouldnโt have thought of otherwise.
Iโve been experimenting with ๆ็ป (Yรฌ Jฤซng) for driving ideas in RPGs and such.
The thing with the six lines: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yijing
Iโve got a few sets of those kinds of dice. Theyโre good for off-the-cuff storytelling games (especially with children, as an exercise in imagination), good for spawning ideas for an RPG session, and even good for just sparking ideas for writing.
For extra context, I found them in a storage room in an office in Denmark. I looked around and also asked chat gpt to no avail. I suspect maybe itโs just a small local game.
Is that Trogdor?
