Packed with system‑neutral locations, traits, and reality‑bending details, this deck helps you quickly generate unusual and otherworldly points of interest for any tabletop RPG.

Ideal for worldbuilding, session prep, or improvisation, Stranger Places brings the truly unexpected to your campaign.
- It has 40 Location cards each with a picture on one side, and a series of options related to a place like that on the other side. Use your own creativity to customize and expand the result to fit your setting. Examples: Flame Palace, Contemplatorium, The Chained Armada, and The Summoning Shard.
- Trait cards can modify your locations to make them even more distinctive and interesting. Each side of each of these 10 cards has a theme. For example, you may start with an Melting Wasteland but choose the the 'Implacable Purpose' or 'Coveted' concepts to make it different!
- Reference cards provide ideas and more charts! Four cards focus on what if the location was made by a slightly mad wizard, misunderstood inventor, cosmic guardian, or artist genius. A 5th card lists various navigation and translation items useful when visiting other realms.
Note: The PDF is set up to be printed duplex (two-sided), 4 cards per page. So the upper right card on the front side of each page matches up to the upper left card on the back side. There is also an extra area (1/8") on the edge of each card called a "bleed". It is intended to be cut away. It allows a card to still look good even if the cut isn't perfect or if the front and back prints aren't perfectly aligned. A PDF is also included with each side of each card as a 3.75"x2.75" page (3.5"x2.5" plus a 1/8" bleed) so you can lay it out as you wish.
