Description
Astral Barista is a short solo TTRPG in which you play a sleeping barista serving coffee in the surreal realm of dreams while trying to build up the charisma (and courage!) to ask out your astral crush, who is Cool™ and Queer™ and has tattoos. This is my first TTRPG, and a short one! I wrote it for The Queerness and Games Jam 2023. If you have any feedback, I would love to hear it! You can play this game as either a fast-paced short game when you have a few minutes of spare time or as a lighthearted journaling experience, your choice! To play Astral Barista you will need three d6s, a tarot deck (just the major arcana), and some scrap paper or a notebook, depending on whether or not you're journaling.
