    Building campaigns with our decks is fun, fast, and 100% powered your creative choices. Every element you create is completely yours.

    No more players on their phones. Create NPCs, settings, and plots so good your players get totally lost in your story.

Become a master storyteller

Create your next campaign idea in 3 steps

  • 1) Draw cards.

    The deck's five card types represent the basic elements of story. Combine them to create story ideas, character prompts, and more.

  • Rotating this Agent card deactivates the cue

    2) Rotate cues.

    Cards have multiple suggestions, called cues. Rotate cards to change cues, customize your prompt, and spark new creative ideas.

  • 3) Write.

    When you’re happy with your prompt, start writing! If you get stuck, the included guidebook will help troubleshoot your idea.
