Dungeon Master’s Library 013: Dwarfhold Champion

Dungeon Master’s Library 012: Neo-Kamigawa Dragons

The first Cycle Week! I pulled five random cycles of five cards and made a poll on my tumblr. Because the cycles were random, the competition was a bit unbalanced. Seems unlikely the nap lands were going to win, but the slivers were a contender. These dragons, in lore, are protectors. I tried to made … Continue reading Dungeon Master’s Library 012: Neo-Kamigawa Dragons →

Dungeon Master’s Library 011: Vulshok Battlegear

After a string of relatively weird entries, here's an extremely straightforward one: some magic armor. The card's effect isn't much, so I've used the art as the biggest inspiration. Click here to browse the entire Dungeon Master's Library 011-vulshok-battlegearDownload

Dungeon Master’s Library 010: Framed!

My first un-card! Silver bordered (now Acorn) sets are my favorite part of magic, so I'm happy to bring that energy into D&D. Click here to browse the entire Dungeon Master's Library 010-framedDownload

Dungeon Master’s Library 008: Strangle

With this entry I'm pushing something I think should already be in the game! Techniques. Where, instead of getting a magic item, you learn an innate skill that functions much like a class ability. Click here to browse the entire Dungeon Master's Library Get the PDF VersionDownload

Dungeon Master’s Library 007: Waiting in the Weeds

Entry 007 is a bit of a silly one, from back in 6th edition. Absolutely love this art, and everything about this card. Frankly, I have no idea what to do with this spell in actual play, but I felt it absolutely had to capture the sillyness of an army of cats with little loyalty. … Continue reading Dungeon Master’s Library 007: Waiting in the Weeds →

Dungeon Master’s Library 006: Spelleater Wolverine

Entry 006 is a creature from Ikoria. I have to say, I really enjoy when the prompt is a creature. Especially when it has a straightforward effect that can easily be translated into D&D mechanics. Click here to browse the entire Dungeon Master's Library Get the PDF VersionDownload

Dungeon Master’s Upkeep 005 – Vex

Entry 005 runs into a tricky issue. Magic has tons of counterspells, while D&D only has one. This first one is pretty simple, but I feel like I would have ended up with the same spell for Remand or Dream Fracture. It will take a lot of creativity if I pull too many similar spells! … Continue reading Dungeon Master’s Upkeep 005 – Vex →

Dungeon Master’s Library 004: Ill-Gotten Inheritance

Entry 004 is our first enchantment. Enchantments can be a bit tricky, as they're often abstract. It took me a while to decide what this would become in D&D terms, but I settled on an often forgotten part of character creation: Backgrounds.

Dungeon Master’s Library 003: Fraying Sanity

Entry 003 is a curse! A lucky pull for me, curses are one of my favorite mechanics in MtG and in D&D. Click here to browse the entire Dungeon Master's Library Get the PDF VersionDownload
