SPOILER ALERT TO MY ADVENTURERS! The following post contains spoilers for the up and coming campaign/session. You may want to avoid this post and join me in a future one. REMEMBER you have been warned.
Last night I took my DM bag with me to the Fenland Gamers fortnightly gaming session to show a friend who is just dipping their toes into D&D and being a DM.
Obviously I pointed out that this was built up over time.
I also took the opportunity to “refresh” my DM folder.
I consolidated one or two pages into one. They were only there for their list of names for NPCs. So those names are on a single page now.
I added some pages too. Such as a d100 table for generating NPC names. Along with notes on magic item crafting. Which is one area I want to explore more in the campaign. Visiting Kartan, Tower of the Arcane is the ideal opportunity to start this off.
Some pages got taken out because I have them in the Lazy DM Companion. Although I left a couple in that meet that criteria also because I want them on hand quickly!
I’m still waiting on a couple of character sheets so I can finish the reference cards for me to use during a session. I’ve had to message the players directly to ask for them. Otherwise I’m going to have to waste time at the start of the session getting the info required.
Come payday I plan to purchase the Arcane Library ULTIMATE BUNDLE: COMBAT CARDS FULL SET (5E). Which will give me the following:
- The Monster Bundle: 357 pre-filled monster cards
- The Item Cards Expansion Pack: 495 pre-filled magic item cards
- The Spell Cards Expansion Pack: 319 pre-filled spell cards
- Seven form-fillable PDFs for making your own items, monsters, legendary creatures, PCs, spells, and spellcasters
- Print-friendly, black-and-white versions of everything
I do like what the Arcane Library produce. I’m using the character cards templates for recording the character info.
While the party are visiting Kartan, Tower of the Arcane they will bump into Dram, halfling wizard. Well I had to find a way to insert him somehow.
More in the week.
