The Game Master's Deck of Boons and Banes: 40 game-changing, character-shifting cards and a companion book for 5th edition RPG adventures (The Game Master Series)

Another inspiring product from the Game Master's series, this time a small book and a series of cards presented in a high quality magnetically sealed box. These cards and the book provide a series of conditions that might help or hinder your players, for each one you get a page of text describing the condition with ideas as to how you might work them into your story and how each could be gained or removed. These were created by Ginny Di and they provide excellent inspiration. The artwork is first class and atmospheric. Love them.

The quality of the box is amazing and the design well thought out: The cards are kept secure and the booklet doesn't slip out. I love the artwork on the cards/in the booklet, even the backs of the cards are stunning! The Boons and Banes themselves are really cool, thematic and mechanically sound with tips on how to scale them based on party level. My only wish is that there were even more but 40 cards is hardly skimpy! Love it and will be using them on my party soon.

Fantastic GM,s tool for any system get it now.

I read about this online and thought it was a great idea and when I received it still feel exactly the same. The book included though is too small making it a bit hard to read quickly - I took a photo and zoomed in to read it on my phone and was much better! A digital version of the book included I think would be a good idea unless they can print this a bit bigger.

Absolutely great designs with both the cards, the book and just the whole box itself. Would highly recommend to get and use during campaigns.

The deck is very good quality and feels like an expensive and well-thought-out product. The deck itself comes with slots for all the items so it can be stored and transported very easily. Bought it as a Christmas gift for my brother-in-law who is also our dungeon master and he seems very excited to use it for our campaign!
