The Yellow King RPG Shock cards

ADD TO WISHLIST >
Selected Option:

Apprehension, panic, terror, and collapsing causation!


This optional accessory helps The Yellow King Roleplaying Game GMs select and hand out Shocks during in-person play. Its card selection focuses on the varieties of fear and emotional disequilibrium most likely to afflict investigators into any reality-altering Carcosan mystery. Perfect for on-the-fly scenarios or abrupt sidetracks into hallucination and shattered consciousness. This deck assists GMs who prefer the solid slap of a physical card against the game table you can plunk before players when their characters stare into the uncanny and wish they hadn’t.

Please note – this deck only includes a selection of the most used cards, not a complete set of every card in the game.

While a nice set, I too fell in the trap of reading the title, and then buying the pdf thinking I wouldn't have to also handmake a bunch of cards. Perhaps most annoyingly, which are included and which are not specified and so I have to run all the cards by the list in the book and painstakingly find and remake the missing ones.

Which is perfectly doable, but now I'll have some handmade and some printed, which is a shame. I would happily have paid for a second set of cards that included the remaining cards - or even bought them per scenario for the more specific ones.

It was just good luck that I came back to check and realized not all the cards were included, it would have been pretty awkward to try and find them during play.

I'm very disappointed that these sets do not include all the cards in the game. Again and again as we've played The Yellow King I've rubbed my hands together menacingly and looked at the fear and anticipation of my players as they roll poorly and obtain a Shock or Injury only to be embarrassed to find that the card wasn't included in the decks. Civilian with a knife attacks and they either inflict a Laceration or a Flesh Wound, neither included in the decks. A ghost shocks, "But this is wondrous strange!" or Soul Strike, neither included in the decks. Just go down the list: first Shock: You Badger a Vulnerable Witness: Overstepped Bounds or Wracked by Remorse, not included in decks. Number four Shock: Embarrassed or Humiliated, not included in decks. That's how I feel after spending so much money on these, presenting them to my players as the latest and greatest and fanciest thing in role-playing to find more than half the time the card I need has not been included.

We apologise for disappointing you. The ad copy should clearly indicate that the deck provides a highlight set of frequently occurring cards. This limit allows us to meet the size limitations of a print-on-demand card set. We will revise the description accordingly. Please contact DriveThruRPGs customer service if you would like to request a refund.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
