Path of Shadows

Storypath Cards offer your gaming group a new way to roleplay, no matter which game system you use. These cards provide a unique way for you to create more dynamic and detailed stories by harnessing your players’ imaginations. Storypath Cards empower and encourage the players to add to the story of your game.

These cards allow a player to break into the action and add a new detail or twist to the story. Usually, this is something which adds to the mood or atmosphere of the story, but often it can actually affect the plot. Each Storypath Card suggests a different kind of intervention, but interpretation of just what a particular Storypath Card allows is up to the player and GM. Players should never be pawns thrust about by the GM’s schemes, but they can now be full participants in an unfolding story.

Each deck of Storypath Cards contains 36 cards divided into these types: Theme Cards, Tone Cards, and Climax Cards. Each of the cards has a title, a short description to guide their use, an illustration, and a number from one to seven that determines when it can be played.

The Path of Shadows is themed for use with any setting when you want to add a sense of intrigue and mystery to your game.

Your download includes: a rulesheet and two print-and-play decks, one in color and the other in ink-saving B&W.
