Dungeons and Dragons has remained one of the most popular role playing games in the world since its original release. The RPG relies on long campaigns, dynamic combat, and a lot of imagination. Indeed, dungeon masters in Dungeons and Dragons often go above and beyond to make the game as enjoyable as possible for their players by creating epic settings or tangible items. One gamer has gone even further, spending hundreds of hours to craft a custom Deck of Many Things.
There are many boss monsters in Dungeons and Dragons that can be hard to deal with. Though they are powerful combatants, there are many ways to defeat them, such as by finding strong gear or magical items. The Deck of Many Things is one such piece of gear which, when found hidden in-game, can change the tides of a campaign.
Reddit user HomebrewHobo recently posted a video to the Dungeons and Dragons subreddit where they display their newly created Deck of Many Things. The deck features gorgeous artwork and includes many of the classic cards that players expect from a Deck of Many Things; Jester, Comet, and Rogue to name a few. HomebrewHobo, in addition, is only one in a long line of players who have used their skills and household tools to create Dungeons and Dragons maps, characters, and interactive items for their stories.
The traditional Deck of Many Things features thirty-two cards that give players access to many abilities. The deck works by drawing cards, which gamers must estimate before they draw, and then using the abilities over a certain period of time. Dungeons and Dragons notoriously utilizes story twists, and a Deck of Many Things can help players in complex campaigns face foes that they might not have planned to meet in battle. Though it might seem like a trivial item compared to other famous components of D&D, the Deck of Many Things is a powerful tool that DMs can use to advance their stories.
Dungeons and Dragons relies on players using their imaginations. It should come as no surprise, therefore, that some gamers have taken to pouring their creative energies into the title. From the Deck of Many Things to incredible miniature mansions in Dungeons and Dragons, fans have shown that they are dedicated to forging memorable experiences in-game. Again, none of this should be surprising. D&D has maintained its popularity for decades not only because it is fun, but because it allows players to create new things and have impossible experiences with a community of fellow gamers.
Dungeons and Dragons 5E is available now.
