The past few months have been crazy busy, but I finally found time to finish this blog post I started 3 months ago. You may recall I created a poll asking about usage of cards in solo games. I took the responses and suggestions and made a list!

Great compilation of tools! Thanks for doing this!
ReplyDeleteIf I may be so bold, I have a couple of other card tools you could add to your list.
1. I created my own decks called Encounter Building Cards very similar to GMA decks before I knew that GMA existed. You can find the first deck here: drivethrurpg.com - Encounter Building Cards: Decisions
2. The Harrow Deck put out by Piazo is a Tarot-like deck built around the 6 attributes (Str, Dex, Con, etc.). Looks like it's available at Amazon here: https://www.amazon.com/Pathfinder-Campaign-Cards-Deluxe-Harrow/dp/1601256523
3. Madame Endora's Fortune Telling Cards takes Tarot and makes it a bit more action oriented to help with driving solo stories forward. It's also at Amazon here: https://www.amazon.com/Madame-Endoras-Fortune-Christine-Filipak/dp/096757563X
4. You mentioned Inked Adventures, and I think the same company has dice that act like cards for producing random dungeons ideal for use in solo play. They are called DungeonMorph Dice (or available as cards) and can be seen here: http://www.dungeonmorphs.com/
5. Backstory Cards are great for making connections between PCs if you're playing solo. They are here: http://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/138416/Backstory-Cards
6. It's Not My Fault! cards for Fate are good for making a quick character concept and plopping them in a tough situation right away. They're a fun way to start a quick solo game! They are here: http://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/162084/Its-Not-My-Fault-A-Fate-Accelerated-Character--Situation-Generator
Hope one of those strikes someone's fancy!
Realy nice, Spencer! Your articles are always great!
ReplyDeleteLove the look of that Santa Muerte deck (impulse shopping, it happens.) Thanks for the mention of Rewind. :-)

Speaking of Prince of Darkness Games and Tarot, Joe has also put out Swansong, A Tarot Fuelled Fantasy System.
