Sidequest Decks – Lovecraftian/Paranormal

Looking for adventure ideas derived from the works of Lovecraft or other paranormal sources?
These cards are perfect whether your campaign is set in the early 20th century like Lovecraft’s, catches ghosts in the modern day, features FBI agents investigating the unusual, or has other paranormal elements or dream creatures. Use them for a one-shot adventure, or string several mini-adventures together into a campaign.
One side of each card has an adventure outline with a backstory, PC hooks, encounter possibilities, and follow-up ideas. The other side of the card is the most important map for that adventure. Use maps from other cards as needed.
Available in our store, the deck has 54 cards, with one adventure outline and map per card.
Use these cards to set up a hex crawl, develop a side trek on the fly, or chain some together for an entire campaign. Every card is a session’s worth of excitement!
