This week’s guest is Brenda Ho of Weird Works. We talk about their tarot decks and how they can be used for divination and for your RPG games. Their fantasy themed Adventurer’s Tarot: Empress Deck can be used as an initiative system. Their cyberpunk deck Eldritch Overload contains exciting characters, locations and trinkets. We talk about their art and graphic design background and newfound love of risograph printing.

The Tomb: The self-mummified corpse of the turban-wearing mystic Jarnjeeves sits in meditation, holding a magic orb, at the top of a tall pedestal that’s surrounded by a treacherous and trapped staircase (false steps, spikes, turns into a slide, etc.). Jarnjeeves separated himself into two parts. The good part is the husk you see who made it to Nirvana. The evil Jarnjeeves is alive and trapped inside the orb. A menagerie of two-headed animals float in various orbits around the orb.
Jewel of Jarnjeeves: This grapefruit-size crystal sphere is extremely fragile, and if broken will release the evil wizard. Orb powers:
- Radiates a potent masculine fragrance that draws animals to its powerful aura.
- Ponder the orb to transform yourself into any animal, but it has two-heads.
- Ask the trapped evil wizard a question and he has to answer in a meaningful way.
- Dominate creature: target must save or their head tears into two halves (good/evil). They’re your minion until you make another minion. Only one at a time.
- Corruption: The more you use the orb, the more you need to use it. The longer you’re attuned to the orb, you grow two heads (good/evil).
