Blog - First Impressions - Deck of Worlds - Worlds of Chrome & Sunlight (SF).

TL;DR: a short first impressions review of the SF expansion for #DeckofWorlds shows some great potential for scenario and setting creating for the #Traveller and #startrekadventures #ttrpgs. I work through two examples in the post.

First Impressions - Deck of Worlds - Worlds of Chrome and Starlight (SF)

I picked up the Deck of Worlds during the recent promos (you know, Black Friday, nearly Christmas etc.) as it's been something that intri...

My new creativity booster arrived today.

The Story Engine.
The Deck of Worlds.
The Lore Master’s Deck.

Plus two fantasy booster sets.

High quality cards and manuals, and boxes. Looking forward to trying them out. I already threw together the basis for a short story in ten minutes just from the example cards shown in the manuals for the first two.

Check them out if you want something interesting to spark your brain.

Using the #DeckOfWorlds to generate some prompts for my #hex24 - it's kind of ideal for this purpose, particularly with the fantasy expansion pack. (I kickstarted this as I liked their plot cards a lot and if anything I use this deck more.) https://storyenginedeck.com/products/deck-of-worlds-worldbuilding-prompts

But I used #SaveTheCat beats as my guide, and played with the #DeckOfWorlds every time I got stuck, because worldbuilding is my weakness. I threw out 2/3 of the previous plot bc the new journey didn’t lead there. And now it’s fresh! There’s world-built stuff to explore, the story leads from A to B, and…it makes sense? It’s exciting now??? I was actually excited to get back to the outline EVEN THO (maybe because) I didn’t know how it would end! 2/2
Apparently the package from #DeckOfWorlds I've been expecting isn't going to arrive because chose the PDF only reward from the Kickstarter. I thought I had ordered a physical deck. I need to keep better records.
Making a fantasy region with my #DeckofWorlds set.
Had a migraine, but decided today was the day to reorganize the spare desk as a gaming/writing space. #MutantsAndMasterminds books, alongside my #StarTrekAdventures book (and tricorder)—I have the rest as PDFs, because shipping—but all within reach for the three campaigns I’m running. My #StoryEngine and #DeckOfWorlds up top for when I’m coming up with ideas, and—finally—a mug of tea and some jujubes. Also, on the table beside are my journals and a gorgeous piece I bought from Jay Odjick.
Decided to take my #DeckOfWorlds out for a spin and, with #StarTrekAdventures in mind, make an Andorian setting with the Frost and Fable deck.
This totally came together as an adventure prompt. An Andorian mountain town with a spiritual (and athletic) history plagued by an out of control blizzard that might be *alive*? Yes please.

Got my KS for #deckofworlds today. Seeing as how I love both cards and worldbuilding I ordered the base set plus every possible expansion and also some cards for the previous #storyengine deck too. https://storyenginedeck.com/products/deck-of-worlds-worldbuilding-prompts

I found the first one great for plot building but my #ttrpg style does not involve game plots so a little work was required. It definitely involves straight up worlds though.
