The Story Engine
@storyenginedeck
The deck of endless story prompts for writers, DMs, RPG players, teachers & storytellers.
If you've got a pencil, some paper, and your imagination, you've got everything you need to tell an original story. If you've got these FREE products, you also have budget-friendly tools to boost your creative process! Find these $0 items in the PDF section! storyenginedeck.com/collections/...
How do you know you've found a magic item? If it's sitting on a chest in a pool of sunlight, that's probably a clue. Deck of Worlds may or may not be enchanted - but it WILL provide a stat boost for your imagination. Try it and open a portal to another world! storyenginedeck.com/products/dec...
P.S. Our beta feedback form closes TOMORROW. Fill it in before the end of the day on Friday to let us know what you think about our new party game! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...
Which Adventurer would you choose to complete this Quest? Reply to give us your pick and your argument - or pre-order Dungeon Tryouts on BackerKit to try the full beta PDF! dungeon-tryouts.backerkit.com/hosted_preor...
We know we have a lot of decks to choose from. That's why we've been trying to make it easier for writers and DMs to decide where to start. Check out the new curated bundles on our website to find a collection tailored to your creative interests! storyenginedeck.com/collections/...
A huge thanks to @nerdarchy.bsky.social for this review of Lore Master's Deck (and expansions)! Give it a read to learn why our lore decks "offer a compelling, creative-first approach to storytelling" in your RPG! nerdarchy.com/story-engine...
Hope you're having fun with Dungeon Tryouts! And if you're not? This is your chance to tell us what we could do better! The feedback form for our open beta closes on July 17. Click the link to tell us what you'd like to see in the final version! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...
We love making prompts with people who walk past our booth - and that pure, magical moment when someone gets a spark of imagination. You have a way of surprising us. That's the greatest feelings in the world. Can't wait to see you in Indianapolis. Come find us at booth 1217 from July 30-August 2!
Gen Con is almost here - and that means a lot of stress and sleepless nights for our team. So why do we do it? It's you, of course! Gen Con is the one time of year when we get to meet in person and be creative with the members of our community. That's why we keep coming back year after year!
P.S. Any resemblance between the Bay of Tentacles and Kraken Attack Cove is entirely coincidental. But you can clean up Kraken Attack Cove if you pre-order Dungeon Tryouts to get access to the open beta. dungeon-tryouts.backerkit.com/hosted_preor...
What will the navy do about the pirates? How will that affect dealings between the smugglers and the navy? And why exactly is it called the Bay of Tentacles? Reply to tell us how you'd interpret this prompt we made with the Deck of Worlds Coastlines Expansion! storyenginedeck.com/products/coa...
The smugglers and the navy had an accord. If the smugglers keep things quiet, the navy will look the other way when ships pass through the Bay of Tentacles. The arrangement allowed everyone to prosper. But the pirates that are coming for the smugglers are causing much more of a stir.
Looking for an activity to keep the kids busy now that summer vacation is here? Ghaida explains why kids (and parents) love exploring their creativity with The Story Engine! storyenginedeck.com
We got a million requests for this - so we finally designed it! The new Expansion Icon Guide tells you which icon belongs to which deck so you can sort cards quickly. The guide is FREE and available on our website. Just look for Free Resources under the Info tab! cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/02...
The Daredevil wasn't afraid stunts. Accountability, though? That's another matter. Legal says it's time to stop being a daredevil. Is there any way for them to keep doing what they love to do? Reply to tell us how you'd interpret this prompt from our writer's room! storyenginedeck.com
The Kitchen Ravens were supposed to be a myth - a made-up creature that came for kids who made too much noise. But do these strange new birds mean the threat has come to life? Tell us what you'd do with this prompt made with our Lore Mastery Expansions! storyenginedeck.com/products/lor...
It's one thing to describe an adorable (but deadly) plant dragon. It's another to see it come to life. Chelsy replaces lore prompts with original art, and it's a nifty way to visualize a world and everything in it. Thanks to Chelsy for sharing! Follow her @ www.instagram.com/wildechelsy/
Hope everyone had a good Free RPG Day! We absolutely love seeing the prompts you're making with Lore Master's Deck. If you picked up the sampler, feel free tag us to share what you've created!
@arcaneanthems.com gave us a magic item - a saw that resonates with history and gains new properties and powers over time. A huge thanks to our guests for taking us to new places with Lore Master's Deck!
C.R. Rowenson gave us a creature - a mosquito-antelope hybrid that serves as steeds for a posse of pixies.
@faeryinkpress.bsky.social gave us an NPC - a whistleblowing sage who plays a literal whistle (and whose songbird familiar is musically inclined, too).
We're ready for our next adventure after our Free RPG Day livestream! Our guests made three very different lore elements - and we'll be making D&D 5e stat blocks for all three so you can bring them into your campaign! Catch the replay to get the full backstory: www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Thn...
