Tempestkin

In the flat windy land of the Elders, your tribe's best protection is your storm. You live in its eternal eye—as the generations before you have, and those after you still will. The stormtamers, chosen to lead the dialogue between your two sides, help facilitate common ground between the tribe's will to go their own way, their faith in their storm godparent, and the storm's drive to rush off somewhere and its attachment to its people. Managing your scarce resources is never easy but together, you make do.

Still, storms and people are very different beasts, and the two of you don't always align. Sometimes the unfathomable storm goes the opposite way without explanation, and sometimes the fickle humans do as they will, regardless of custom.
A game for two

Tempestkin is a hand-illustrated eight-page TTRPG for two players about living together. About betraying promises, suffering miscommunication, ignoring each other, looking the other way, underestimating needs and overestimating one's own importance, and sticking with each other regardless.

In the game, you play as a tribe living in the eye of an eternal storm, and that storm. While you travel together through a mysterious land filled with beings that cannot be understood, but not for lack of trying, you must find a way to reach your goals together, even if each of you has your own vision for a future.

Requires: two decks of cards, several d6, ~twenty tokens per player.
