There's something special about the ambiance and feeling of a bookstore café that you can really only find inside. The way the bookshelves muffle the sounds around you, creating a quiet hush that is almost like a temple, while the scent of dark espresso and sweet cake wafts through the air. There is nothing else quite like that feeling. 

Foam & Fiction is an RPG journaling exercise meant to help  you create a small snippet in the day of one of your characters: A trip to their favorite bookstore café. All you need is a deck of cards, and a way to record their experience.  

We have also created a few Spotify playlists for this game: 

My Café: A curated playlist featuring songs I would play if I owned my own café/bookstore.
Acoustic Café: A nice selection of acoustic tunes and instrumental covers.
Summer Bop Café: Warm, upbeat music to put you in a bright, bubbly mood. 

There are three versions available for download: A full-color digital version; a black and white printable version (with a less color-intensive cover page); and, a text-only version. 

Welcome to Foam & Fiction, friend. Tell us a story.

This game is 1. adorable, 2. fun to play, and 3. has caused me to create a new OC for the first time in literal years! I have a whole storyline going with just one character exploring the menu at the cafe for the first time! It's a great way to build up creative writing energy with the assistance of the cards making some of the choices for you. HIGHLY recommended!

Oh, thank you so much for sharing, and I'm SO GLAD to hear about your experience! 🥹 This makes me so happy!

Thank you for making this game! Something about it really got my creative juices flowing, because I managed to write 600 words last night when I can usually only manage 50 and then I even drew something to go with it!

Ahh, thank you so much for your comment! I'm so glad that you enjoyed the game, and that it helped unlock a story (and art!!) for you. 💕 If you share your work anywhere, I'd love to see it!
