Hey all!

Groaaan... yes, another poll.

So, I just done had me an idea! 

Since most of my Dungeons & Lairs adventures are based on the Chamber Contents tables from the DMG, why don't I just turn that into a deck of cards that you can randomly draw to populate an area? 

How it Works!

All you gotta do is supply a mostly blank map (Dysons' or Tim Hartins' probably work best since they tend to be empty rooms). Then, each time the characters enter a room, draw from the "Goblin Deck" (or whatever deck) to determine what's in the room—be it an encounter, a hazard, a trap, or something else that fits the theme. Heck, you can probably even do it theater of mind just using the deck. 

I can probably even make some notes on how to mix and match decks to keep them balanced. And if you want the encounters to be harder, I can probably just make rules for that on the card the same way I do the other Dungeons & Lairs.

Affordable and Print-on-Demand Worthy

I can print these up poker size via DriveThruCards (or even tarot size if I wanna get crazy) and keep them at a fairly reasonable price. 

For those of you who don't necessarily want to purchase a physical deck of cards, I can just turn it into a random table PDF that would serve a bit like a Choose Your Own Adventure. But hey... cards are cooler!

First Deck's Theme

Okay, keeping that in mind, I've picked up a few starter themes to try this out with. Pick the one you think is coolest.

This is friggin' amazing. I sincerely hope that, once you've developed and perfected the format you're looking for on the "Big Nasties" cards that we get links to purchase the pre-printed decks

Love the idea! Either that or table chart that you can roll off on.

I would for sure use a table! Probably wouldn't the cards, though they look cool.
