The Weather Inside

The Weather Inside: A Solo Journaling RPG

You already know something is wrong with the weather.

Not outside. Inside. The low pressure system that moves in when grief arrives and doesn't leave. The fog that settles over memory. The strange bright days that feel borrowed. You have been living in this climate for a long time. This game gives you language for it.

The Weather Inside is a solo journaling RPG using cards and dice to guide you through five frameworks drawn from the philosophy of Marguerite Young: the radical, visionary American writer who understood that the self is not one thing, that loss is not a season but a permanent condition of living, and that building something real inside that loss is not just possible but necessary.

How It Works

Draw a card. Roll the dice. Follow the prompts into your journal. There are no wrong answers and no destinations. There is only the weather, and what you find when you stop trying to outrun it.

Suitable for anyone navigating grief, transition, creative stagnation, or the ordinary strangeness of being alive. No prior RPG experience needed. You need a journal, a standard deck of cards, and dice.
