Description

The Genesis Deck is a card-based worldbuilding tool for just about any fantasy TTRPG!

Using a variety of Terrain cards, you can procedurally build an overworld map, and then use Plot Point cards to populate it with Quests, Adventure Sites, Plot Hooks, and more! Everything you need to know is written on double-sided System Reference cards, so you can easily focus on the information you need in the moment without having to flip through a whole book.

The Genesis Deck is designed to facilitate solo roleplaying, but it can also be used in a traditional refereed game, or even in GM-less co-op games!

Included in this purchase is a set of all the cards and a copy of the print-and-play file. Please note that in order to keep costs down, this does not come in a printed box (keep it in a box you have or just keep it in the shipping box), and it uses small chits for marking Sea spaces; if you'd rather use full-sized cards for your Sea, you can buy that separately (or print your own).

If you're interested in trying it before you buy it, check it out on Screentop:

If you'd rather put it together yourself, or don't need a physical version, you can get the print-and-play on its own over here (for the low low price of whatever you feel like):
