Proposed Supply - Tarot/other divination

[silvercat17]

I talked about it on the discord, but here's the "official" idea:

Description:
Use tarot, oracle cards, runes, I Ching, dice, or another divination method for inspiration. See Q&A below.

Q&A
- Can I use a horoscope? We have Glue already for looking up horoscopes, but if you create your own it would count for this.
- Minimum cards/runes/etc? At least one.
- Here are some online sources for randomly drawn things.

Proposed name:
- Tempera because it's one of the oldest types of paint
- Easel because you sort of prop your interpretations on the cards/etc
- Tape to pair with Glue (the horoscope of the day)

Comments? Objections? Suggestions?

I think this sounds like a cool idea, but I don't really have a lot of suggestions or know a lot of sites where you can get stuff like this. One thing that occurs to me is that if you have a site that just rolls random readings, you could just sit there and roll readings over and over and over until you got one that you liked, which feels a little cheap, but I don't know how you would counteract that (unless there's a site that just has a single daily reading, or something). I like tempera for the name but do not have any strong feelings about it.

That's true, but there are several supplies that let you pick from a lot of options. I feel like tarot and stuff has so much room for interpretation you wouldn't need to optimise it.

It seems like a potentially fun option and I like tempera as the name.

Here are some online sources for randomly drawn things.

I think that is necessary for this to work for people who don't do divinations, so that's good! It maybe could be clearer wording that a randomly generated Tarot card or equiv is sufficient for the supply?

If it helps, as a genuine absolutely clueless whatsit, I searched and can verify that these sites worked fine for generating either a random card/rune or simple reading that would work as a prompt without me having to ask questions, do any divination work or sign up for anything, which was not the case with some of the others. (As far as I can see, they all look like old school generator things, not AI, but it's so hard to tell these days.)

I'm also going to be posting random draws to the tumblr (I started another sideblog just for tarot & oracle cards)
