Sorry, thought I did it already! Done now.

Thanks! Yeah, I like the allure of a shiny thing that has a big risk/reward choice to make. I figure it's not something anyone would want to use frequently, but it's a cool tale to tell. And, as with all these cards, I think some of the vagueness leaves a lot for the GM to work with in terms of making it work for their game in a way that isn't broken.
I love this idea, Adam! I'm also giggling as using the illusion outcome as a conversational aid with images of the topic at hand popping up during the conversation.
Sam: So, there were three ducks chasing a cat in the parking lot...
Abby: What?! What do you mean?
Me: /rolls a 9, creates an image of three ducks chasing a cat
Sam: *laughs* The cat stole their food! They wanted it back!
I make my digital card spreads by using a photo of a tabletop, either a stock photo or one I've taken, then layer the card images on top of that, at angles. I also add a drop shadow to the card images. I've used Photoshop and/or Canva for my layouts.
Sometimes I also print the cards out, cut them, and take a photo of them on a flat surface. I use two copies of the card to do this so I can show the front and back at the same time.
I wanted to say thank you for putting this jam together! I've got Tiny Library and Tiny Tome, so I'm excited to see this series continue. I wasn't familiar with MOSAIC Strict before and now I want to keep making tons of these little modules! I'm running a game jam for a bunch of librarians at a conference in June and now I want to add MOSAIC Strict as an option for that jam because it would be amazing to have a bunch of librarian-made modules by the end of the conference. I'm really looking forward to seeing the submissions to this jam and playing something with them at the end.
Since I posted that comment last year, we've used Tiniest Wizard several more times and I've also included it in library webinars I've presented on running games in libraries. There's always a lot of audience excitement when I talk about Tiniest Wizard because it's so library friendly in terms of being quick to learn and easy to play with limited resources.
I'm also very excited for this jam and the next Tiny Library deck. I'm very intrigued by MOSAIC Strict and I'm now thinking about running an in person game jam for it at an annual library conference in June.
