The Plotonomicon

Oops, the heroes have ruined the story, again. They managed to get Camelot invaded by the peaceful Seelie while King Arthur was at war, to kill teenage Karl Marx while vacationing in Space·Time or to blow up the Magical University where the entire campaign was meant to take place. Also, they have just entered the Unknowable Dungeon of Unspeakable Death, for which you have no maps, or they are due to meet the Ambassador of the Qfew'dhi Confederation, the one you just invented by pushing random keys on your keyboard.

But you're not ready to give up on that story, are you?

What is the Plotonomicon?

The Plotonomicon is a very simple story improvisation technique that you may use for role-playing games, storytelling or even writing novels. You'll need the Plotonomicon itself (it fits on one sheet), a deck of cards (there's one included, but if you can use a Tarot deck, if you prefer) and... that's it!

So...

How will King Arthur Pendragon react to news of the invasion?

How will history readjust itself without Karl Marx?

How will the Unseen Council protect the Mundane Sphere without the Sevenfold Anchor?

What evil lurks in the Unknowable Dungeon of Unspeakable Death?

What does a Qfew'dhi even look like?

The Plotonomicon knows!

(well, or at least, it can help you improvise an answer)

This products consists in:

• The Plotonomicon, a simple rule to use the Space·Time Deck in your regular role-playing or storytelling sessions, presented as a short PDF comic;
• The Space·Time Deck, a deck of 67 illustrated and interpreted cards, loosely inspired from Tarot, and designed to help GMs, Players and Storytellers answer any question that may show up during play, as well as improvising plots, settings, twists, characters, places, lore, ...

Warning Most of the illustrations are museum pieces. Some of them display the kind of nudity you can expect to see in a museum. You may wish to review the product before putting it in the hands of children. Or on Tumblr.
