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.

To get a sneak peek at how you can use the cards, check out this Tumblr post on developing powerful prologues.






BEFORE THE START comes in two parts:

  • A deck of 72 cards used to create unique settings, robust characters, and tense situations
  • A book full of the rules, guidelines, uses, and play samples that will drive your creative games.




The digital edition of BEFORE THE START will include print-and-play cards, as well as instructions on how to play with a standard set of 52 playing cards.
