Thank you Daniel for discussing this interesting game tool. I really enjoy the art and the color scheme of the cards. For me, I enjoy having separate cards instead of long tables (in a book, etc.). Having cards just seems more tactile and there is a simple joy and excitement of turning over and revealing cards that I very much enjoy.

Cards are the best!

It’s kinda like a lowfi, card-based LLM, generating stories using randomness and common info. I like the idea.

[@hariszark7396]

I think the designer of those cards were having too much fun making up stories on his own so he decided to put them in that booklet. It happens to me as I make examples of play trying to explain some of the mechanisms and random tables usage in the game I am making....😁 Those cards looks very nice as an inspirational tool. Again I will add that price + shipping cost will make them unreachable to me.

[@TheDungeonDive]

Ha! Yes, you're probably right. It is very easy and fun to create stories with these.

[@AlbertoRodriguez-zb3iu]

I know that starting with the protagonist is important to establish the quest, but I'd like to see some kind of game tool like this that starts out with villains, their goals, motivation, events they cause etc. And you'd just throw a pc into that pile of trouble (or cards), the epic deck comes closer to something like that, But the rest as is, a player or GM has to assume a lot, like many oracle game tools out there.

This was another item I was tempted to buy but wanted to wait for a couple reviews before deciding if worth it or not.

[@TheDungeonDive]

It might be a little on the expensive side, but you do get some good stuff with it.

[@carolinelabbott2451]

@@TheDungeonDive I might get it as a PDF instead. To cut down on the cost for me.

Great video! I’ve been ogling these recently, but I couldn’t really make my mind up. I definitely don’t need them, but I do want them, but not too badly. Having watched this video, and considering the price in Sweden is ~$60, I’m skipping them.

Usurper!

I was looking into some kind of tool to randomly generate stories for me to write, but I wasn't having much luck in finding anything that really generated the different steps of a plot. But this seems exactly what I was looking for! Just from the examples you showed in this video, my mind was already coming up with ideas, and I love that there are different types of decks for differents types of stories. I think that with the help of other randomizer tables to generate characters, I could have so much fun! I'm gonna see if it's available where I live (and praying it's not too expensive) Do you know of other tools similar to this one I can check out for randomly generated stories? Writing is my main way to battle off anxiety and stress, and I love to generate things randomly.

[@TheDungeonDive]

These would be great for fiction. I cover a lot of similar tools. Check out my Solo RPG playlist for many valuable tools.

[@FreeFragUK]

I'm a bit tempted by this but my primary focus lies with modern horror TTRPG's. I can see the political deck potentially being useful but the others would be a bit harder to adapt. At least in my opinion.

[@EricLebigot]

Are the cards more for low fantasy or something like this? I haven't watched the whole video, but what I saw wasn't obviously applicable to, say, science fiction. Is this correct?

[@TheDungeonDive]

They’re for fantasy.

[@chromeego7903]

What a long winded way of rolling on an plot quest oracle table. It doesn't even have inspiring art. $40! What a rip.

[@TheDungeonDive]

Cards are fun and it’s fun to have fun.
