The Story Engine: Deck of Worlds
4 years ago
If I'm going to be using FA journals again, I might as well put them to good use.
The Story Engine: Deck of Worlds is the sequel product to The Story Engine, a deck of different cards designed to create story prompts from infinitely-combinable cues to help you get ideas flowing for all kinds of creative projects. In addition to the main deck, extra expansions and boosters add genre-specific cues to the assortment, from fantasy, horror, mythology, science fiction, dystopian, cyberpunk, and more. Deck of Worlds is intended to do the same to get past the initial hurdles of worldbuilding, by suggesting landmarks in regions that have a past, present, and future, along with guidelines for building regions as big as a continent. The Kickstarter also has expansions and boosters in the works for the Deck of Worlds, as well as a new set of expansion and boosters for the original Story Engine and all-in-one containers for both decks with their add-ons, via stretch goals.
This Kickstarter is far from struggling - in fact, it's already well-hit every stretch goal I wanted within less than a week. But I love this product, and I want to tell people about it. This sort of randomized prompt creator is the sort of thing that helps get the juices flowing at least enough to feel better even if I don't write anything from it. Where else could I get a plot for a crazy epic fantasy adventure by mixing elements of sci-fi, mythology, dystopia, and eldritch horror?
