Let's use BEFORE THE START to build a ttrpg setting!

Players want to be likeable rascals in a space-opera-ish story. That's all we've got so far.

So: Where are we, and what's happening in minute 1?

We deal 9 cards. Use a few that speak to you.

BEFORE THE START comes in two parts:

A beautifully minimalist deck of 72 cards used to create unique settings, robust characters, & tense situations.

A book full of rules, guidelines, uses, & play samples that will drive your creative games.

⭐ NEW GAME ANNOUNCEMENT ⭐

BEFORE THE START is a story-starting, story-supporting, and story-telling toolkit to be used with any tabletop RPG.

It's also a standalone roleplaying game about community, calamity, and the small moments that define us.
