Description

The IChing was the earliest divination tool known to mankind. You essentially take 3 coins and flip them to generate a reading. You then consult a text that gives you the meaning. When we don’t understand things, we sometimes seek out the divine for answers. In our table top role playing games, the dice serve as this divine resource for the answers to how we move the story forward.
