How does it Work?

Decuma uses a unique set of question cards that give the whole experience a feeling of mystical interconnectedness—as if Destiny herself is guiding the campaign! Decuma splits the tarot suits up by theme and each set of cards creates a different aspect of the campaign.

Sun Cards

Create backstory connections and history between the PCs. Players come to the table with basic character concepts and the sun cards give the players and the GM lots of story elements to weave into their adventure. No more strangers meeting in a tavern!
Star Cards

Collaboratively build a map and details about an important location, whether it's a fantasy village, a generation spaceship or a modern haunted house, this game can make it! You will end up with a map to reference, NPCs the party can interact with, and cultural elements, such as slang terms or philosophical beliefs.
Moon Cards

The party shouldn’t just have history with each other! As a group, they have history with the world too. Who are the party’s allies? What big event made them famous or infamous? Building another layer on the location and character connections, they players also gets to build a collective history that will impact how they interact with the game world as a party!
Decuma saves the GM a ton of prep time and can be easily customized to build a whole universe or just specific aspects to enrich an existing campaign just by including or excluding card types.

Running a pre-written D&D adventure in Waterdeep? You already have a location! Leave out the star cards to just build character connections and world dynamics. Playing a Powered by the Apocalypse game that has built-in character connection mechanics? Just play with the star and moon cards to build your location and your world dynamics!
