I finally set up a substack for my creative writing endeavors. I've been having so much fun with @storyenginedeck.bsky.social and solo RPG journaling games to help unblock my creative flow! ✨ methodtothemayhem.substack.com/p/solo-rpg-i...

Solo RPG: I played Anamnesis and brainstormed an entire story

I never would have come up with this idea on my own...

It turns out anyone can pull a plane. You just need a lot of hands and a strong community around you! We learned that firsthand during Orbis Canada's Plane Pull for Sight event in May, where we played tug-of-war with a 60-ton FedEx 757 and raised $4,992.62 for a good cause!

We don't always ambush random people with worldbuilding challenges. But when we do, they have great ideas! storyenginedeck.com/products/dec...

Tornado warning?! Let's make a magical setting to escape!

We've heard from many writers who tried AI for a few weeks, and found that it actually made them less creative. That happens for a simple reason: AI isn't designed to help you develop your creative skills. It’s designed to bypass challenges and make the art for you as quickly as possible.

Why don't we "just use ChatGPT"? We believe that writers get better results when they devote meaningful time to the creative process. That's why we don't use AI at any stage of development and every component of our decks is made by passionate writers,. designers, and artists!

My current Gen Con booth vs my 1st Gen Con booth ten years ago. The new one is BIGGER THAN THE APARTMENT I started my writing career in. I still feel like an impostor - but it's nice to look back and see how far I've come!

Adventure awaits at the Bay of Tentacles! This coastal destination has shopping, exotic wildlife, and privacy - because everyone is looking the other way! We wrote this ad based on a setting we made with Deck of Worlds. Reply to tell us why tourists will visit your world this summer!

As writers, we often place too much emphasis on the end result. The truth is the act of creation has real benefits for your mental health! We've spoken to people who find writing therapeutic because it provides a safe space to explore new ideas and brings clarity to their daily lives.

It's not the end of the world - but we can pretend it is with our Post-apocalyptic Booster! The Junk Seller has searched for the source of the transmission for years. A fortune is supposed to be hidden in the cache - but the ancient ones left far more than supplies before their fall.
