Rainy day, so we made a cozy fireside D&D campaign where you save a turtle.

We raised the stakes a little and left the kingdom hanging in the balance. But you can leave that part out if you just want the cozy vibes.

Featuring the Adventure Prompts Expansion!

We're turning October into Cozy-tober in 2026! Our writing nook includes a hot beverage, a roaring fire, and the patter of gentle rain against the window. It's all about cultivating a space where we feel comfy and creative. Reply to tell us what cozy feels like to you!

The Story Engine family is growing!

We just adopted another 16 penguins with SANCCOB.

Barry the Battle Penguin, Solomon the Sage, Barnacles the Avenger, and Melon of Troy are ready for anything.

Visit SANCCOB's website to adopt a penguin and assemble a team of your own! 🐧

Love the shoutout for my book...thank you @storyenginedeck.bsky.social! Their decks do get a well deserved name drop in "Tabletop Role-Playing Games in the Classroom." Among other uses, Story Engine can be great training wheels for how students can collaboratively tell a tale. #EduSky #TTRPGsky

Thank you so much for the shoutout @storyenginedeck.bsky.social!

I own a few of their decks, and they as great for educational settings as they are for authors or for world-building GMs playing TTRPGs.

@storyenginedeck.bsky.socialOct 6, 2026, 2:56 PM

No, thank YOU so much for including us! Love seeing people come up with new ways to use our decks in the classroom!

Just got my set of the Character Dynamics expansions from @storyenginedeck.bsky.social

I definitely think I'll get a lot of use out of these, as it'll help my character interactions feel less "flat" as well as give individual characters more depth with the "Character Question" cards

The fronts of the Character Dynamics Story Expansion Set: Inner Truths & Outer Trials, Best Friends & Bitter Rivals, Written in Love & LongingA look at the Inner Truths & Outer Trials - Character Questions expansion. The box is at the top, with two cards below it. One card shows the back with the "mind maze" image that it shares with the box. The other card shows the front with four prompts (from 6 o'clock clockwise): What is the greatest gift they have given or received?, who have they disappointed the most?, what are the an expert on?, what is the obligation?A look at the Best friends & Bitter rivals - Relationships expansion. The box is at the top, with four below it. two cards show their backs showing their "relationship CONFLICT" and "relationship ENGINE" card types. The other cards show their front. The red Conflict card has 2 prompts and shows "and now one of them is making an offer with strings attached" prominently. The purple Engine card has four prompts and shows "has never physically met" prominentlyA look at the Written in Love & Longing - Romance expansion. The box is at the top, with six below it. three cards show their backs showing their "Agent", "Aspect" and "Anchor" card types. The other cards show their front. The Yellow Agent card has 4 prompts and shows "An Ex" prominently. The green Aspect card has four prompts and shows "Infuriating" prominently. The blue Anchor card has 4 prompts and shows "A kiss" prominently

What's the significance of the cloak?

Reply to tell us where you'd go with this prompt we made with our Story Engine Fantasy and Backstory Expansions!

Self-reflection is tough for a mimic. You think you know who you are. You think you have core memories of your childhood and your favorite cloak. But then you find out the other mimics had the same cloak, too. And know you're wondering who you are when your most cherished memories are tainted.
