Motor Mocha

CONTENT WARNING: COVID-19 pandemic.

This is a contemplative solo RPG in which you play as the last remaining barista on staff at a once-busy drive-through coffee shop during the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020. It is inspired in part by The Queen of Cups and the Alone games.

Play requires writing materials, a deck of tarot cards, access to a music platform with playlist features, 1d6 and 1d20, and some free time. For ambience, sit beside an open window with a cup of coffee, playing one in-game day at the same time each real-life day.

This is a rough draft cooked up in a single day, so it may contain some inconsistencies and poor writing. Honestly, it's amazing I managed to make anything at all, so my apologies on that front.

I have priced this at $3, the cost of a standard cup of drip coffee in many places. Those who have not lost work during this pandemic are encouraged to pay, and tip if possible; those who have lost work or who are otherwise affected are encouraged not to pay. Proceeds from this and my other games currently go toward living expenses for this out of work barista, so that I can continue staying home and not endangering myself or others by looking for work since my shop has closed.

Included are a screen version pdf and a plain text version.

The creator of this game is a settler living on the land of the Osage, Tsalaguwetiyi, Shawnee, Adena and Hopewell. If you can afford to pay for this game, I urge you to donate toward the efforts of pandemic prevention for Indigenous communities in your area, as they are hit especially hard.
