The Deck Of Many: 5e Reference Cards

Created by Cardamajigs

The Deck of Many is a series of 5e reference cards for Monsters, NPCs, Conditions and Weapons. The Deck of Many is a tool used to assist Game Masters in their role-playing campaigns, freeing them from traditional reference books and allowing them to only bring the references they need. Each card features original artwork and easy to reference information. Should we be successful, all funds raised from this campaign will go towards producing the 4 decks and other campaign rewards.

Because of all of you we were able to extended the original project from a mere 80 cards to a whopping 224 cards, 7 whole complete decks!

Also because we appreciate your trust and allowing us to build this project for you we’re including the remaining Guest Artist pieces. The Gorgon by Jeff Miracola and Wyvern by Leesha Hannigan!

So what’s next?

Here’s a loose timeline of what we’re planning:

Tomorrow (October 6th): We’ll send everyone in the $10 tier and up the first pdf! We completed the Condition card illustrations and we’ll be sending those along with v1 of the blank custom encounter cards. 

Mid October: Backer kit Surveys will be sent out. Through backerkit we’ll be sending out surveys that’ll cover things like shipping address, add ons, custom card submissions. This will remain open for a month.

Mid November: Complete all the art for the cards.

End of November: Complete layouts for all the cards.

Early December: Final run of Editing and Copywriting. (We’ll send out final updated pdf’s at this time)

Early January 2018: Print proofing

Early February: Print run is completed and shipped to us.

Mid February: All packages will be shipped out!

In the case something goes awry or the timeline shifts we'll update you all as soon as possible. We want to be as transparent as possible about this process.

Additional Add Ons!

We’ve gotten requests from some people to make some of the cards available as singletons, so when we launch the Backerkit we’ll include the ability to add single cards to your pledge! Every card will be $1 (monsters that take 2 cards will cost $2).

Final Notes

Again, thank you so much for funding The Deck of Many. We've got tons of cool things planned that we can't wait to show you, we'll post regular updates. And if you have any questions message us here or on twitter (https://twitter.com/thedeckofmany).
