Description:

Downcrawl Worlds is a storytelling card game about building a weird, wondrous underworld with your friends. Combine evocative card prompts to compose phrases like “sacred spiders,” “serene witches,” or “embittered mountains,” then develop them into the legends, places, and peoples of your own unique subterranean world. Discover how stories evolve and fates intertwine in a living history of lightless labyrinths, heroic ghosts, and fungal forests.

This is a worldbuilding game in the vein of Microscope, but with a deck of idea prompt cards to help you along. Ideas are all collaborative, with a “call and response” mechanic letting players respond to each others’ ideas using the cards in their hand (and their own weird imaginations). There is some roleplaying of pivotal scenes in the history you’ll create, but the balance is on worldbuilding. This is a playtest, but the game is fairly far along with near-final cards!
