Creating worlds for adventures can be an absolute delight or a pain. Either inspiration strikes or merely stays restful in your head, and you are sitting frustrated with your ideas and the world you imagined was not coming into fruition.

Deck of Worlds // The Story Engine

Deck of Worlds is a standalone deck of prompts that is currently up on Kickstarter. And no, I am not writing about a brand new card game with twists and turns. I am writing about a new tool for us creative brains to help us immerse ourselves in our own new worlds at a quicker pace. No need to wait for inspiration to strike and Deck of Worlds has got us covered.

Contained inside the box, players will find prompts to help them create imagined lands, lore and map creation which may not have even been considered. Containing hundreds of different outcomes to create a whole roleplaying world to write at your fingertips.

The game has been designed by a wide variety of writers from all across the globe, sharing their wonderful ideas with aspiring novelists, game masters, storytellers and role-players out there.

Deck of Worlds // The Story Engine

The box combines six types of different cards to create an in-depth setting. Picking an environment - the terrain of your story, a landmark - a point of interest, a namesake card - an in-world nickname with a heads-up to the lore that can be found and hidden amongst the world, and stories cards containing origin, attribute and advent signifying past, present and future storytelling motives.

These cards will provide keen writers with enough information to explore their created world further, with enough information to get thrown into the new universe that was build within minutes.
