Yeah, same re digital art. I do have an old Wacom tablet, though, so... I feel really bad about not using it enough. ^^;;
Having a notebook around all the time definitely helps! Even if it's just doodling whatever you see or simple shapes or just making marks on the paper -- whatever gets you started. I got through a lot of meetings doodling in my notebook (and my teammates didn't really mind, lucky for me).
What kind of houseplants do you have? :)
Ooh, the artist of Elsewhere University! The art for that deck must be so good. <3 I'm not that familiar with oracle decks; I've read about them, but I don't really understand how to use them. ^^;; Story generation using a deck sounds like a great idea, though maybe it would work better if you don't know what the cards mean? I don't think I can do that with a Tarot deck since I already have a different mental model for their meanings.
I looked up the Alleyman's Tarot and the Literary Tarot and they look gorgeous :D I love the ideas behind them, especially the Alleyman's; it reminds me a little of the handmade Tarot deck in Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell. I cringed a little at the reward tier for the Alleyman's that said the creator would mess up the cards somewhat to make them more used, though; I take extra care of my decks, and the thought of them getting damaged scares me. ^^;;
