Cliffhanger Dice

Included in the October Box!

A tool for adding suspense and escalation to your story. Roll these dice for story beat suggestions that will help you raise the stakes.

Great TV shows end acts on “Act Outs” — dramatic turns that leave us dangling on the edge of our seats, waiting through commercials to see what happens next. That same trick works beautifully in your own writing.

Whenever your story feels too stagnant, or you’re about to close a chapter or scene, roll your Cliffhanger Dice. Each prompt is designed to jolt your characters (and your readers) into a new, high-energy situation.

Cliffhangers aren’t just about shocking moments — they’re about keeping readers hungry for what’s next. Roll often, escalate boldly, and don’t be afraid to leave your characters in peril.
