DISCLAIMER – The owner of The Story Engine Deck reached out to me to send me a free copy of their product. I did not receive any form of payment nor was I expected to promote or review their product for receiving this.

Some of us love running pre-written campaigns for our tabletop roleplaying games (TTRPGs). Others of us love coming up with a brand new story for our players at our table. Coming up with a unique and exciting campaign can be creative, fun, and rewarding.

But sometimes we can get stuck in a rut or don’t know where to start with our ideas. I know that’s the case for me half the time. Sometimes I put pressure on myself to come up with a brand new story that no one has ever heard of before or is so unique that it’s not like any story we’ve read in a book or seen on the screen (News flash – every story has essentially been told one way or another, so don’t let that self-pressure hold you back).

Having a tool to help us get the creative juices flowing can be really helpful to have when you want to come up with an idea for a TTRPG campaign, which is what makes The Story Engine Deck so helpful. It’s a system that uses a series of card types to help you create a prompt for a story idea for your campaign, a novel, a script – anything that uses a story!
