I am a game master, author, and collector of storytelling tools - Tarot cards, Rory's Story Cubes, writing prompt books, and the like - and of the tools I have used, these are my favorite. The 27-card log-line method has already spawned several quite original ideas for me - the kinds of things I wouldn't have come up with on my own - and in my book that makes these cards a success. Perhaps the best feature of the cards is that they contain multiple related prompts on the lower half - for instance, a "Zombie" card prompts you to alternatively read it as "automaton" or "vampire" - for greater variety in idea generation. This goes a long way towards solving one of the classic problems with story generation tools: that certain cards or dice don't "fit" certain storylines or genres, or clash badly with other cards already drawn. It also allows for one card to suggest multiple storylines by interacting with other cards in different ways - for instance, to suggest a vampire politician, a zombie gambler, or an automaton child. This alone marks a significant innovation in storytelling tools, and I'll be eager to buy each of the expansions when they come out.
