<p>Writers have traditionally used 3” x 5” index cards to brainstorm their stories and characters, but even those cards can stare back at you as blankly as the pages you are trying to fill. But what if those cards were already crammed with drama-provoking ideas? Story Forge is a deck of 88 cards packed with the dramatic elements that all great stories are built from, the perfect tool for fanning your creative fire into a blaze. Using archetypal characters and situations, Story Forge cards can be easily arranged into millions of combinations to inspire novelists, playwrights, screenwriters and role playing gamers to maximize dramatic tension and blast through writer’s block. Each card illustrates a unique concept such as plot twists, reversals of fortune, character archetypes and other nearly universal themes and dramatic elements found in all great stories. You will find the seven deadly sins and their countering virtues as well as the four horsemen of the apocalypse and their opposites. There are cards that represent the various stations of Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs and The Hero’s Journey. Some cards speak of the finest strengths and most tragic flaws humanity has to offer, while others evoke the powers of gods and the universe itself. The definitions on the card faces are written suggestively, but are vague enough that you can’t help but interpret them within the context of your story. Even if a card doesn't match your conception of the character or situation you are contemplating, that too is informative, and you can lay down further cards until you find one that “clicks.” The deck also contains two blank cards in each suit so you can customize Story Forge to perfectly fit your unique writing style.</p>
