Little Celestial Fieldwork Guide
A downloadable game
This may be the biggest divine migration this country has ever seen.
Through your research in religious studies, and speaking to other colleagues who share your affection for the smallest of celestial creatures, you have uncovered a massive migration of spirits and little gods unlike anything seen before.
Lucky for you, they’re passing right through where you live!
You may never have an opportunity like this again. The spirits and little gods are fairly shy, so they disguise themselves as many types of objects so they can hide in plain sight. As a practiced researcher, you’re very good at spotting them.
So, it’s time to consult your cards, grab your camera, grab your journal, and get out there to start documenting!
To play, you'll need a way to draw tarot cards, a camera (including your phone!), and a way to journal. If you're playing multiplayer, you'll need a way to communicate and share documents.
You draw three cards to get hints about things like where your celestial might be located, what color object it's hidden it, what things it's drawn to, or what it is a little god of. Then you go out on the town and try to find the disguised spirit. Once you do, you'll document it with your camera, and then write all your notes down in your field notebook.
There is no beginning or end of this game, or any goal besides becoming more familiar with the place you live, places you're visiting, and learning to appreciate all the little aspects of your surroundings!
This game is ideal for college students and people who have moved to a new place and want to get to know it better.

I got gifted this game by my caregiver, I'm a mostly-housebound disabled person and I was talking about getting out of the house more by gamifying it thanks to my therapist. I really love the journalling and tarot combination, it gives me an excuse to take the bus somewhere. My boyfriend is talking about playing too, which I'm excited about. Thanks for the great 1st ttrpg experience!
what a lovely comment. im disabled and was housebound for a while myself, and was a social worker for 3 years for other folks with disabilities. finding fun and accessible ways to get out of the house can really make so much of a difference!! i hope this game can be that for you, im so glad youre excited to try it :)
This is a delightful game, with a really unique concept! I've started playing with a small group of friends. I really love how it motivates me to actually explore the areas I frequent, and also take photos of interesting things! I hope to grow my small team of researchers, this game deserves the recognition :D
this comment really touched my heart. thank you so much for sharing, i'm so glad your research team is doing good work!!
