We are a (future) audience-participation-driven writing project that (will) update weekly. We work off of a modified version of the To Change system - exact changes may vary by what character the current story follows.

The Deck So Far
This is, of course, unnecessary to post about. This project is barely started, after all - who would be watching? Quite simply, this is a log of events to gauge how close we are to starting.
For our first story, we will offer a choice between three characters - for now, they will be referred to merely by the cards on their character sheets, but they will be revealed before the story begins. We plan to complete our first character's illustrations before starting work on the second character's illustrations, and so on for the third.
Of these characters, we will illustrate unique versions of the Major Arcana for all of them - the Minor Arcana, at the moment, are a bit up for debate, as we haven't yet decided if we want to use them and are still fiddling with card effects and homebrew. There is much still to be determined - this, however, is our progress so far.
No. 1: The Chariot, The Devil, The Star
The Fool: Description complete, card roughly sketched.
The Magician: Description complete, card roughly sketched.
The High Priestess: Description complete, card awaiting revision.
The Empress: Description complete, card roughly sketched.
The Emperor: Description complete.
The Hierophant: Not complete.
The Lovers: Description in progress.
The Chariot: Not complete.
Strength: Not complete.
The Hermit: Not complete.
The Wheel Of Fortune: Description incomplete, imagery solid.
Justice: Description complete, illustration still to be decided.
The Hanged Man: Description complete.
The Devil: Description in progress, imagery fairly solid.
The Tower: Description incomplete, illustration still to be decided.
The Star: Not complete.
The Moon: Not complete.
The Sun: Not complete.
Judgement: Not complete.
The World: Not complete.
No. 2: Death, The Empress, The Moon
Deck unsketched, rough descriptions done for The Fool, The High Priestess, The Empress, The Emperor, The Hierophant, The Lovers, The Hanged Man, and The Tower.
No. 3: Justice, Strength, Temperance
Deck unsketched, rough descriptions done for The Fool, The High Priestess, The Emperor, Temperance, and The Tower.

Hello. We are Arthromutability, a transformation-based audience participation game. We run on a modified version of the To Change system, found on itch.io here. This is a beta post - a test of the intro, to be revised and reposted until the game actually starts. You can feel free to follow now, of course - but be aware that the game may not start until much, much later.
Current story: [ARTHROMUTABILITY HAS NOT YET STARTED]
HOW IT WORKS:
Once per week, we will post a story post - this will be a short story entry, ideally accompanied with an illustration. We will accompany this with a set of drawn cards, and a decision - you. the audience, will pick a card, and we will continue the story from there. We will not tell you what these cards do - you must, rather, figure out what you're doing from what happens from picking a card.
We take suggestions on actions via ask, comment, tag, or addition to the post - we reserve the right to refuse or alter suggestions as needed, as our priority is staying true to the story, not to the letter of the ask. We appreciate constructive criticism and are happy to answer questions on our decisions - some things, however, will remain hidden until the story concludes.
As this is, of course, a narrative about transformation and change, our avatar will change along with our current character's state. There is a character sheet behind the scenes, but you will not see it until all is said and done - the machinery ticks, but the curtain will not be pulled away until what it fuels is finished.
Past characters may be pulled back for a reprise, but it is more likely to be starting from a relatively blank slate than it is to be a straight continuation of a previous story. These things are, as always, up to vote.
There are likely to be delays. We ask for your patience - Rome wasn't built in a day, and we are not a fast worker.
