The threads of fate entangle each of us.

These threads are your vows, bonds, greatest victories, stinging failures, cherished hopes and darkest fears.

Each thread weaves together to create a tapestry depicting your destiny.

What will yours look like?

For some, it is gilded and pristine; for others, blood-soaked and torn.

Some say the tapestry is woven from the day we are born, and we simply travel along its chords.

But not everyone.

Some believe it is up to us to craft a story we’ll be remembered by until the Ironland’s final days.

The Destiny Deck

This supplement for Ironsworn and Starforged tabletop roleplaying games introduces the Destiny Deck, a deck of cards you create with recurring themes and motifs. You weave these cards into your sessions to help direct the most chaotic moments of your story, and along the way, develop how they affect your hero.

What's in the paid files?

If you only download the demo files, you're missing out on almost nothing! I wanted to make the core rules freely available to everyone interested.

The paid files are simply a 'thank-you' to everyone who is generous enough to support me and recoup some of the costs of the stock art and software used for the project. They are materials that make play a little smoother:

  • a printable template for thread cards.
  • a handout for the moves and oracles.
  • an empty oracle table that can be used as an alternative to keeping a deck of cards.

Hello, struggling to understand how can I use this without the card deck. Please can you explain. Thank you.

Hello! Have you purchased the full version which comes with the "Threads of Destiny alternate deck oracle tables.pdf" file? That's needed to play without a deck, although you could make your own.

Essentially, you make each thread a different entry on an oracle table, and roll on the table to see which thread you 'draw' when you need to.
