I like this guy's energy. Gives good information, credits everyone he can, answers common concerns. I had zero interest in this product before but now I'm considering it.
Me too!
And he seems genuinely proud with and excited for his product. This kind of enthusiasm is great.
Same with me - I had zero interest, but this actually seems a lot better than I though it's going to be.
Jason Tondro is so excellent!
ditto this, wasn't even considering it but made the mistake of watching the video and now... very interested and tempted lol
I’m so upset they cut the Fate Domain Cleric from this book. I had so much fun playtesting it!!! And it would have fit the themes perfectly!
Probably moved to a different book. But yeah, seems that was a big selling point.
Yeah, could easily be in the 2024 PHB
Well that bums me out for this book a bit. I really liked the Fate Domain
they cut 2 sublcasses from bigbys as well idk why they keep cutting the subclasses from these books when its one of the biggest upsides to the books
A Stars Druid would still fit thematically
I had less than zero interest in this product, but after watching this it sounds like a wonderful story generation tool I'm going to have to seriously reconsider my opinion of.
I hope you picked it up by now, I'm new to DND and I'm the DM for my family's party. When I held these cards, something epic just clicked lol
Star signs are a great idea, and I love the sound of the origin story. I’m liking what they say about all the supplementary material to the deck itself, but Ironically I feel like there might be “too many things” in this set! Surely, there’s something for everyone, but few people will use everything, which makes the price harder to get past. Good gift, tough buy. I look forward to Nerd Immersion’s inevitable unboxing video!
Despite what they say, the cards did have an established origin before, they are magical Netherese playing cards that grew in power after Netherese fell, and Euryale never had a human sister, she's a character from a novel called Lady of Poison, she has two sisters, one of them named Sthenno, I'll guess the third is just Medusa because they were obviously named after the mythological medusas from greek myth, they've had creatures named after one that had the creature that they originated from before, theres a Marilith named Marilith, ect, and I'm guessing Euryale never had anything to do with the deck and she probably isn't nice or has autism and the only connection she had to the deck is that she shared the name of a card name by coincidence.
This "Euryale" seems like a self-insert from what I've read and seen.
Likely they didn't ever read up on what they were trying to do or they're trying to sneak in a retcon and hope that no one will catch them doing it.
You can look these things up on the Forgotten Realms wiki to verify.
@@duckmanguy8575But you’re forgetting, that’s their origin in the Forgotten Realms. This is their canon Greyhawk origin, as their appearance there is functionally loreless. Therefore, the two characters we see telling the story of the Deck (Euryale and Asteria) are new Greyhawk characters, distinct from any similar ones in Faerun. Also, Euryale isn’t the one with autism. Just wanted to clarify this.
as their ceo has said, dnds under monitiesed, they really want to get thibgs selling imo
Mmmm shame about the price. But what an amazing gift it would be uwu 🌟
Have you any lore for personal games on where the Deck of Many Things came from? :3
They mention that you do build the deck as you see fit, so you can limit the cards that you think may be detrimental to your campaign, and in that respect I think having too many cards is less of an issue than too few, not that I really think shaving a dozen cards would have reduced the cost by that much. I think the presentation is more what's driving the cost up given these could have been just regular ol poker sized cards
This man is a DELIGHT.
I already wanted this book, and he has sold me in it even more
I already wanted the set, and now i want it even more. The most charismatic guy ive seen interviewed so far. Can't wait to see the magic items too.
This has to be my favorite announcement for D&D this year. This collection sounds absolutely amazing, and I cannot wait to get this and read through it some more. You all did amazing work from what i'm seeing. Jason Tombro did an amazing job explaining this and I'd like to see more from him. Looking forward to the next BoMT content reveal!
I like the idea of using the deck as a random adventure generator of sorts. That's a neat idea. :)
The physical edition sounds cool, but it's way too expensive for me.
I just don't see how that's different compared to rolling a random adventure using tables.
Instead of using click clack math rocks you use pretty pictures@@KristoVaher
@@KristoVaher It isn't, but it's thematic and the methodology is its unique novelty. The Deck of Many Things has ALWAYS been something that could be reduced to just a roll on a table but for years it's always been more fun to present the deck to players and have them draw a card. Conversely you could always take a random table and write them on index cards.
I love random table generators for adventures be it the Tome of Adventure Design or Sine Nomine's line of "Without Number" books but this is also another fun variant on the idea
this idea looks like hand of fate stile of story telling
I love the toy box concept. I OOVED the chapter in Bigby’s that was just adventure locations with a couple different scenarios. I want all future books to be like this.
ngl, I really do like how this deck+book of many things sounds and looks. It adds a kind of gamie-ness to DnD. Where your players might decide they want a quick 1 shot from the deck just for funsies.
Jason’s proper use of Fewer instead of Less. 10/10 product, no notes. 2:24
Now we can officially play Sakura Card Captor using the 5E engine!
My own homebrewed deck of many things is heavily inspired by CCS. I’m definitely picking this up and using the features in this book to add to it!
Looks like they learned alot from the Tarokka Deck from Ravenloft! Foil covered Tarot cards are expensive, so the price shouldn't be a surprise given all the set includes.
Yeah its a bundle... one time I seen a tarot deck alone cost like 100 pounds in some fortune, crystal etc shop in London
Jason Tondro is amazing. What a talented presented. I was mesmerised by his introduction to the book!
when I first heard about this book I didnt really know how useful it was going to be
but building and predicting campaigns and character star signs are all really cool concepts.
could even imagine combining the building/predicting parts where the players draw cards, giving them a glimpse of the path forward but the DM filling out the Adventure with what those cards mean
I'm really liking this emerging pattern of magical locations in these books. They were really good in bigby's and these new ones sound nice
6:40 that card fighter construct looks SO cool
creating a magical item of ultimate cosmic power to save your medusa gf 😩
This was an absolutely great video! Dude's energy was fantastic, and he was very informative. No real over-explaning as some DM's like myself tend to do 😅 But now with a better understanding of what this card is, im definitely getting that nice limited cover!
i really like these types of releases. more physical stuff.
I got a lot more use out of Domains of Delight than I did The Wild Beyond the Witchlight. The random generator tables are always my favourite part of any book. Looks like this box is gonna take that design philosophy and turn it up to 11.
Cut and paste adventure elements are also really great to use if you're homebrew setting and campaign focused like I am.
It would be nice if you could do something like this with the Tarokka deck in Ravenloft. I think that another Ravenloft supplement should be in the works for this. Van Richten's Guide was a good start with the into different horror genres, but expanding each of your campaign settings that aren't the Forgotten Realms are definitely needed. I like the three-book sets for campaign settings, but they need to be more substantial.
It's long out of print and hard to find now but for 3.5 there was a Tarokka deck made under the Sword & Sorcery brand for Ravenloft that had it's own "adventure designer" using the deck. It was not nearly as detailed and rich as what they're describing here but it was pretty slick at the time for coming up with adventure hook inspiration
$100 USD?! That's like an arm, a liver and 3 months' rent CAN! And I was so looking forward to this...
Time to go Rogue class 😉
I mean, it kind of makes sense once you think about it. It’s not just the book, it’s also the deck that comes with it.
You’re getting a 66 card deck, two physical books and 1 digital. I mean. That’s kind of a good deal
$99 USD = $136 CAD, which isn't as bad as rent, but it's still pretty painful. Sure, Wizards may offer free shipping, but after taxes and import fees it's just too steep for me. 😢
It seems the deck inflates the price, dndbeyond has it for $30.
This gentleman’s knowledge is excellent and enthusiasm is infectious. Put me down for one (just because of him).
Okay this video made me want to buy the set. Well played.
This looks absolutely amazing! The artwork, and especially the cards looks so great! I love using the Deck of Many Things as a DM and really like the lore and that it now can be used to outline adventures and work without completely derailing a campaign. Really looking forward to this box set! 🤩✨
Honestly, this looks like a huge help to DMs. I’ve had to come up with my own rulings for the Deck because it felt untested and undercooked, so having more understandable rulings in addition to my home brew is great (Looking at you Throne and Key).
I waaaay into this. One-shot creator extraordinaire!
Wow, this sounds much better than I expected!
We tend to avoid random things, but this product is a great Swiss Army knife. In fact, it may be one of the few product who really matters to have a physical copy to.
8:50 this is GREAT lore
Honestly this sound like a pretty cool thing, especially how you can use those cards to make an adventure. Also I love Astaria and Eyurale.
Funny how tunes have changed from like six months ago. Glad to see the hype for this!
Take notes WotC! This is what people are getting excited about! Lots of content! Lots of options!
This _feels_ like the product that so many of us have been waiting for from 5e for such a long time; a rich smorgasbord of options to cater to almost every game table, with what sounds like pretty comprehensive GM support and just awesome and evocative stuff to entice players. I really hope that it pulls it all off!
It's pricey, sure, but I would rather buy one set at 100 bucks that lives up to the promise of this release a year than 3 books that have the sort of half-baked level of detail that some recent releases have. IF this lives up to the hype (and I can feel myself getting on board that train), then it easily could contain a year's worth of content in it!
Love this. Definitely getting it
Im so excited for this. Sadly i have to wait until after the holidays to get it but i definitely will. This will be so fun
"Ya' know whatever!?"
Thansk bro. 😂
The point of the Deck is Many things is that it causes insanity and instability in your campaign. You are just walking the same pain that everyone that ever used the deck did.
This may be good but for ME:
just as Good has angels,
Evil has demons and devils,
Chaos has the Deck of Many Things.
This guy did his job. I just preordered.
This was originally done in the tales of the lance boxed set way back in 2nd edition :D
I love tarot. I knew I needed this book when I saw it announced. This guy sells it harder.
So long story short, Uriel and Asteria are lovers.
They were really good friends 😂
Who share a house together and cover girl eagerly seeks to get her "really good friend" back. 😉 @@raphaelflores2216
The book and a print out of the random tables for the card readings might be decent, but I have about a thousand old magic the gathering cards that I sift through to build my decks of many things.
I like how players can give their own meaning to how they interpret the cards. Leaving creativity to really help or hinder each player. What do you think this card means?? Then that's what happens like a corrupt fortune cookie.
For years one of the biggest complaints I, and MANY others, have had regarding 5e is that while it's fun to play it's not really fun to DM and the OSR scene has been leeching GM's left and right. Now there's certainly a lot of things that goes into that issue BUT watching this video has sold me on the deck, specifically hearing that not only does the deck help with adventure inspiration but that the same 9 cards could provide wildly different experiences. Personally I am a huge fan of having tables and randomizing elements and then "scrying" the meaning and how they connect and something like this for DM's has been sorely lacking in 5e. I love using the far more primative rules from B/X to generate adventure hooks and this looks like a lot of fun, even just using the cards on the fly for a kick of inspiration and randomness the DM gets to enjoy. Reminds me of the Ravenloft Tarokka deck that was made during 3.5 for Sword & Sorcery
Great way to use the deck of many things ❤
This product seems PERFECT for me!
I was looking forward to this when it got announced now I WANT it.
I had some sticker shock when I picked up Planescape and this book seems to be in the same range. I took pride in keeping up with the books, digital or physical, but if this is the trajectory, it might be time to get pickier.
It is time.
To be fair with the cards with the book it really is a damn increase in price.. it was a bit to say the least
love it ,cant wait
Going to be getting this definitely, the only thing I'm unsure of is the 'autistic' character, I worry it will create a stereotype of what having autism is all about for people that don't know anything about it. It's a rocky subject for a ttrpg to cover as it's a spectrum disorder so affects people with it differently, my son has it so it's a touchy subject for me, regardless I'm still interested
I hope this means there will be a Tarroka update to use the system with Curse of Strahd or at least an official reading for Ravenloft that would be cool to see official readings for the various existing campaigns
Please tell me there is more than one character option than a single feat, there is no excuse for the Fate Domain Cleric not be in this book
I'm so keen for this book.
It does look really cool. Gotta really think whether the physical copy is worth the price though.
I pre-ordered the limited alt cover as soon as I could.
Appreciating the physicality, procedural generation and DM-minded stuff ^^
1:40 In solo tabletop RPG play there's already the concept of an oracle, which is basically a series of tables you can roll on in order to make any decisions a DM would be expected to make (answer questions, flesh out characters, determine enemy actions, and so on). It seems they made a system that turns the deck itself into an oracle (or at least a partial one, because of the adventure spread), which is a really cool idea.
Being someone 1 month into there DM adventure I’m loving this entire set. This video really has me hyped.
I just started my DM career as well and really excited to get this and check it out! I definitely will want to try and incorporate this into the players world/campaign some how.
Just the adventure generation. Alone is wild. You can set up a main campaign. But this is perfect for side adventures and plot hooks alone is amazing.
This just got so much more interesting
draw a card with zero prep and watch as your players come up with 10 ideas what the card could mean
I had no idea who this gentleman is (Jason I mean) before today, but he is a fantastic interview! I feel like his high energy and excitement really helps sell not only this product but D&D in general. I hope he's more involved with projects in the future
Neat
Hello, father.
There are a couple of things I don't understand -
Is the main book only for the 22 card deck of many things? Ie each chapter has lots of variant effects for each card drawn?
Does this mean that the BIGGER deck, the one with 66 cards, does not have as many options per card drawn?
Also when creating a random adventure with the cards, do you use the full 66 card deck? Or only the 22 one? ty!
This sounds a lot like Runehamers Think Deck. I've been using that for years for adventures and encounter prompts
There's been a number of these type of things on the market. But this one, either standing alone or with the rest of the package, sound like it could be the best of them.
This looks great. Going on the Xmas list.
I'd love if there was an option to buy just the deck itself. I've already purchased the digital edition and don't really have the space for more books, let alone repurchasing it!
My players: Christmas is coming up and a present would be nice of you
oh no
this looks *really* cool
It's funny that there's a werecreature thieve's guild, because this is exactly what I did with Meredin Sandyfoot in Spelljammer, shame I'm in the process of wrapping up that campaign, but it sounds like it might be useful!
Still not thrilled with the page count, but the cards sound fun, might make it some decent value for money. I'm actually cautiously optimistic for once
Question: Something I've always wondered about the original version of the Deck of Many Things, if instead of using it yourself, you trick the BBEG to swipe at you, but he/she/it comes into contact with the whole deck [well of the cards you have] and those that land face up [good/bad/neutral happen to the BBEG?
Technically you have to declare how many cards you intend to draw BEFORE drawing. Also it is kinda still skewed toward the positive so I'm not sure that would make things easier even if you did pull it off.
Doesnt really change the fact that your campaign is getting derailed because most of the cards completely change the situation.
@luminous3558 Only if you let it derail your campaign you can honestly come up with numerous ways to not have that happen WITHOUT derailing your campaign. Pretty much all you gotta do is treat all of the cards as a bit of fortune telling. A level 4 fighter, an adventurer shows up at the homebase and asks to be your squire after a mission. Your character solo fights a reaper of death, next time they go unconscious, have a solo battle within the players mind, and if they lose they die or if they win bring them back with 1 hp, etc. The 50,000 xp, just have the whole party share the boon equally by making an encounter or set of encounters reward more xp. When planehopping is required for your campaign, they come across an artifact or trap that locks them in an extra dimensional space with JUST ENOUGH info the party can locate their friend and in order to escape they find themselves on the plane you wanted them to be on.
It's only as game breaking when A. You let them keep the deck and/or B. you allow whatever to happen immediately without wrapping it into the narrative.
If it were me, I'd make it so the player encounters a singular NPC with the deck and offers a chance to draw, but ONLY once each person and obviously don't allow them to draw like 10 cards each. Preferably, only let one person draw at all.
It's really not that bad if you use your head.
I wonder if this will out sell Radiant Citadel (11000ish units).
I'm curious if the Deck will somehow be implemented in D&D Beyond? I've held off on doing my usual digital preorder because I'm not sure what I'd be getting.
The longer I listen to this video the better it gets: as soon as I heard from the expanded deck, I wanted to create a treasure hunt adventure where each card works as its own magic item. Lo and behold, at 20:43 they reveal that they've already done most of the work for me!
Seems interesting
Also! Now that we have Todd Kenrick here, I am going to again refer to the Heroes Of The Vale game that he was in which this book very much needs to make a reality for us!
I was strictly interested soley on the Fate Cleric
Does that mean a circle of the stars druid could use a Deck of Many things as their Druidic Focus
I loved this book and hope that I would be localise to all languages that D&D was sold.
Man... I wish you could deliver to Philippines 😭 I wanted it!
Ok, ngl this sounds dope as hell. I'll finally consider buying a physical wotc product.
As someone with autism, I cannot tell you how much I don't care that there's an autistic character in this book.
WoTC "yes you do you just don't relise it let us get offended for you and give us brownie points
It's just more of wotc trying to force inclusion for no reason. If they keep going farther with it they will alienate a large part of their player base. So many people are just tired of seeing that kind of thing forced on them
@@landonstandifer1984so you don't think that autistic people should play D&D
As someone with autistism I find it interesting how they could include an autistic interpretation from a DnD viewpoint. They'd have to be a damn good writer or an autistic individual writing that character to have very specific connections to DnDs plane and not come off as tropes from this plane.
Though, I think I wouldn't like to know directly or be told the character is autistic or whatever the DnD equivalent would be. Instead I'd like to come to that conclusion, the character may be perceived as autistic within the DnD universe, on my own.
I guess a better case of show don't tell...
lmao me too
Hey Todd, how about a X-men Gambit Warlock Avren?
It's a mix of the Deck of Many Things with the Tarokka deck
Does anybody know if I purchase the digital version on dnd beyond I gain access to the new cards?
I'm a tarot reader - I think i'll use my actual tarot deck to create adventures this way.
Is it possible to buy a deck of *Some* of the many things?
Jason Tondro is one of the go-to people in the industry, it's great to see him again!
I never see the Deck as campaign ruining. If anything it'll extend it and add side steps. But if you have a good enough imagination and writing you can get yourself out of anything and make it great. It's all about imagination!!!
I can't justify this purchase, though I want it.
Seperately, I want this guy working on as many projects as he can. He's far more interested in the game and he comes across as just "getting it" when it comes to the game.
I buy everything that comes out anyway, but this looks a really great product to end og 5e era.
And if this guy was one of my professors in uni I might have finished my studies, he's a really a great expositor
It says Available Now?
I was going to make my usual "It's time to d-d-d-d-ddd-duel!" joke, but.... what if Yugi just busted out The Deck Of Many Things in a game of Duel Monsters? That would be funny as hell.
Please tell me these come with card sleeves...
4:00 theres gonna be a were-vulture, but are the lycnathropy rules goung to be revisited? They're kinda horrible and extremely vague as they currently stand
$100 USD is a bit expensive, wish it had a subclass at least. I am a bit interested because i've wanted to create a custom campaign and I think this might help with that.
I love the concept. The Deck's reputation makes it sound like it ruins the game, but in reality, it's a story generation tool and you leaned hard on it.
"Math Rocks"
Wish you could buy the cards without buying the whole bundle. I have the book of many things on ddb
