Unboxing The Story Engine: DECK OF WORLDS Print Sample + Improvised Worldbuilding 😍

The digital-quality print sample of my new deck of worldbuilding prompts has arrived! Join me as I unbox the Deck of Worlds, do an improvised worldbuilding demo, and create an instant setting for creative writing, D&D, or other tabletop RPGs.

I also unbox the 9 worldbuilding expansion decks, 2 playmats, and 4 storage boxes, and even did some quick demos of the main deck and creative expansions.

Dude. The whole area Hissing Grasslands and the adventure would literally drop right into Numenera. No modification. That's amazing!

I'm an Indigo employee and we recently got the Story Engine box in. I've been telling all my coworkers and customers about it and it's my staff pick. Hopefully I can get some extra sales for you!

Absolutely cannot wait to get my hands on these. I have the Story Engine and love, love, love it. So the Deck of Worlds will be the most wonderful addition. I think the quality of the artwork and everything about the cards is awesome. I have to say, when I ordered the Story Deck in March, I got it pretty much within two weeks. I was stoked.

Can't wait to see more!

The decks look absolutely gorgeous already, so it's amazing that the quality will improve when it moves to the full print run.

This was an excelent look at the deck, and I'm looking forward to seeing more demos over the coming months while I wait for my copy to arrive from Kickstarter.

Damn I'm hyped. This is going to be amazing when it's complete. Very excited backer here.

As soon as I am able, I intend to get everything in the mega-bundle.

Oh these look gorgeous! I can't wait to get my copy. Any plans for a urban environment expansion 👀 I'd love to use this to build out neighborhoods

What a fantastic video and brainstorming of a fun story! Love it. Looking forward to receiving my own Deck of Worlds in a few months.

In your trials - how often does it happen to you that you draw a card that simply does not fit with the other cards?

This demo was great and the Hissing Grasslands sound like an amazing living place.
But some of the choices felt kinda obvious. Meaning that the other 3 choices didn't fit as well as the chosen one did.
What happens if the one good choice isn't there? Do you just draw another card? Do you work extra hard to come up with a way to make one of the choices interesting?

I know that it's just a tool and it's up to use on how we use the tool. And I imagine all of these questions are answered in a manual or another post somewhere.
But in case they aren't - what would be your recommendation on handling a not so fitting draw?

Can't wait to get my hands on this!

Looks really nice. Fingers crossed for getting my grubby paws on these in October :)

[comradefrommars]

You've really outdone yourself. I'm really looking forward to having these cards in my hands.
