    I’m a games master, and I find homebrewing stories more intuitive than following a book. But there’s just so many instances where this story has been done before. I’m on a budget but really loved the idea of the story engine, and had my fingers crossed that it would help me write my game stories, and non player characters. I printed out the eco version for speed and cut them out. On my first try I was blown away by the inspiration it gave me. I’ve started keeping a book of all the outcomes so I can refer back to them as and when needed. I am now eyeing up the Lore Masters deck!

    I just couldn't wait for the pre-packaged version, so I grabbed the PDFs and printed them out on cardstock.

    During the pandemic lockdown, we printed off one of the pdf packs for our kids to keep them occupied. My son is very creative, and would spend hours creating stories with the prompt. We got him the story engine proper for Christmas - he was delighted. He doesn't always use it in the suggested manner, but who cares? Great for creativity, and it keeps him busy and entertained for hours. He now uses 'screens' to write his stories, rather than playing computer games or watching TV. A great gift!

    My brain works well with random systems and this turned out to be a terrific way of kicking it into action when I'm trying to think of plots and details; it's great for giving me a starting point. I use the suggested methods but also just pull out random cards from a stack when I feel like it - it's easy to understand how the different classes of cards work and what you can use them for.

    Striking art and really engaging prompts. The option to print in a more eco friendly format is also really helpful

    Lovely often striking art - and I loved that there was an eco option for at-home printing! Looking forward to using this to build more characters and backstories!
