What is Wayfarer's Deck?

This series of 50-card decks with encounters, wonders, mysteries, puzzles, and findings provides a convenient way of creating engaging situations for the players. Instead of rolling for random encounters, pick a card (or draw one at random, or roll a d100 and divide the result by two - whatever sounds like fun for you) and let yourself be inspired.

The cards introduce a variety of encounters and don't dictate the solutions. You're never forced to fight whatever you've found, and the player have a full agency to do whatever they wish. There are no stat blocks and no answers to the mysteries - you're free to take the situation wherever the inspiration takes you.

The cards are setting-agnostic and compatible with any fantasy game, solo or in a party play, with or without a game master.

Take a deep dive into the adventure

Everything seemed so close when you took a deep breath and plunged into the water. Now, your vision has shifted, and the sounds are overwhelming, coming at you from each direction. Numerous, colorful fish are swimming as you as you investigate the strange stone embedded in the sandy seabed. Are those carvings among the barnacles?

Wayfarer's Deck: Underwater Kingdoms takes you for dangerous, mysterious, and surprising adventures beneath the waves. From curious octopuses to hunting merfolk, to strange sounds, and murky depths, the adventurers will have more than enough opportunities to prove their courage, preparedness, and willpower. The depths are as wondrous as they are unforgiving.
