What is Finders Oracle?

Over the years, I’ve made a bunch of different generative systems and algorithm that assembles words into text and poetry - mostly on the computer. I made them for myself, for friends or for art pieces - but never for an RPG. Why?
I’ve also been playing some solo #ttrpg (Vaults of Vaarn + The Vast in the Dark) and used the very good A Lonely Knave guide by Peter Rudin Burgess. And while I like rolling dice, there is this feeling of disconnection when I have to search for the word/prompt on a loose sheet of paper in my paper mess of a table.
So I’ve decided to make a bunch of cards - tactile things. A mechanical shuffling algorithm - CHAOS! - a tool where you can draw some clues and dispose them in front of me. Rearrange them. Find meaning.
I have not found all the answers yet. Maybe I never will.
For now, I want to use this place to post my experiments that will eventually lead to a interesting deck of cards.
