StoryCards
Roleplaying game design
StoryCards is a roleplaying system by Carl Klutzke. It uses a deck of 60 tarot-like cards in five suits. Using this deck and your imagination, you and your friends can create a unique setting, detailed characters, and a fresh adventure.
For the card theme, we chose constellations in the night sky. These constellations inspire some of my favorite archetypal stories. For example, Orion represents the Hero, Leo stands for the Lion, and Cepheus symbolizes the King. The card backgrounds hint at their suits. Deep blues contrast with the red-orange backs.
It needed to be unknown whether a chosen card was upright or inverted before flipping, so we chose to make the name of the game “StoryCards” into an ambigram for the card backs.
