The Ultimate RPG Worldbuilding Deck: 75 Cards to Create and Customize Your Own Game World

Make worldbuilding as quick as the flip of a card with this fun and easy-to-use game resource deck that includes 75 cards to help you populate your game world with people, factions, destinations, and secrets.

Worldbuilding for your RPG adventures can be a challenge, but this deck makes it easy with 75 interactive cards with prompts and ideas to help game masters create the people, places, and histories that populate their game world. Featuring all new prompts inspired by The Ultimate RPG World Building Book, this deck can be an engaging planning tool for a GM to use solo or to build out a session pre-game-night. It can also be used in-game on the fly for collaborative worldbuilding right at the table.

Cards fit into five categories, meant to build out all the most important parts of your game world such as:
-People: NPCs both allies and antagonists
-Institutions: Organizations and factions within the world that PCs can interact with
-Places: Evocative landmarks and locations for exploration
-History: Events and cultural background building that add flavor to the world
-Rumors: Unreliable stories that hint at interesting but uncertain concepts for PCs to explore

Just draw a card from the category you need, select details from the available options, and answer the prompts to specify who or what is joining your world, and how they connect to your existing story and adventurers. With 75 different cards in the deck, you’ll have tons of game inspiration right at your fingertips.
