The Deck of Worlds: Genre Worldbuilding Expansion

The Genre Worldbuilding Expansion Set is a specialised collection designed to help you weave the core tropes and unique elements of your favourite genres directly into the geography and history of your world. From ancient magical fonts and horrifying cryptids to world-shattering technologies, this bundle provides the specific prompts needed to make your setting feel authentic to its genre. Whether you are building a sprawling space empire or a haunted wasteland, these cards ensure your world-building is as evocative as your plot.

This bundle contains three distinct 60-card expansions: Worlds of Myth and Magic (Fantasy), Worlds of Blight & Shadow (Horror), and Worlds of Chrome & Starlight (Science Fiction). Each expansion is structured to provide a comprehensive look at a genre-themed setting. Every deck includes 8 Regions to define the large-scale environment, 12 Landmarks for points of interest, 12 Namesakes for local flavour, 8 Origins to establish the genre's history, 12 Attributes for current features, and 8 Advents to trigger future plot hooks.

By using these expansions, you can ensure that the magical, terrifying, or high-tech aspects of your world are not just surface-level details, but are deeply integrated into the landscape and lore. These cards are fully compatible with the Deck of Worlds and the main Story Engine system, allowing you to create rich, interconnected settings that your players or readers will find unforgettable. It is the perfect toolkit for any creator looking to specialise their worldbuilding in the most popular genres of fiction.
