the pyramid of want

This is a quick-and-dirty method for using an oracle deck to do the work of creating backstory and characters for Good Society, a game by Storybrewers Roleplaying. Using a pyramid of stacked cards, it involves going down a list of oracular choices to produce a set of characters, reputations, desires, relationships and whatever else your heart may desire. If your games of Good Society so far have seemed a little limited by the choices available, this supplement may be for you! Bring your own deck, whether it be playing cards, leaves gathered from autumnal trees or a series of newspaper cutouts. Includes a handy instructional booklet and a playingcards.io template to make stacking a big old pyramid of cards easier than ever before. Get it now at the low, low price of free.
