This Body of Mine, I Will Make it a Temple
A downloadable journey
This Body of Mine, I will Make it a Temple is a single player introspective tabletop roleplaying game about mechs, recovering from a war time mindset, and making something your own through radical change. It is a game about trans experiences told through a fictional lens of a mech pilot coming home from war and trying to decide what their machine commonly used for death and destruction will become in times of peace.
This game also includes a small section with alternate rules to play this as a single player epilogue to any campaign you feel your character needs to retire, make peace with what they've done, and heal from the trauma they have both caused and endured.
To play this game you will need: A deck of tarot cards, some pen and paper, and tokens of some sort.

Such a cool game! I love the way the tarot cards inspired the story I told, and the mech pieces came together so well to inform me on the place I was coming from.
Just gave this a play this morning after getting it out of a bundle a while back. Incredibly happy with how it went, it was a really calming experience to go through!
Ahhh I'm incredibly happy to hear that! Thank you so much for letting me know you enjoyed my game I really appreciate it :D
I had an incredible experience with this game. The concept plays out so elegantly through the mechanics. I went in not knowning what kind of experience or story I'd end up with, but created something really meaningful and personal. The rules are thoughtful and respectful to the player. I really recommend giving this a go and can't wait to see how the final version ends up.
oh my goodness I just saw this! Thank you so so very much this means the world to me, I’m so glad you enjoyed my game!
