You do not need roleplaying experience to play—just open the book and start to read.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIf you have played a TTRPG before, you'll find that Psychic Trash Detectives offers an immersive storytelling experience unlike any other. You and the other players will use actual trash to generate elements of the game world, resolve questions, and push the story forward. You'll use whatever trash you bring to the game space (or whatever trash is there already).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePlus, you'll create the setting of the game together too, mapping out on a hand-drawn map the weird places where your characters find their favorite trash. And when it comes to the psychic trash visions, you'll play weird, surrealist mini-games to determine the supernatural messages and memories, such as:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMemory collage.

Discuss how these visions may answer the question.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePsychic sketching.

The Protagonist chooses a piece of trash from the playing space or someone’s private trash stash that has words on it. Each player blacks out one of the words, revealing a new meaning within the text.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMusical inspiration.
