Dungeons & Dragons Unveils More About The Deck Of Many Things

Wizards of the Coast revealed more details of the final Dungeons & Dragons release of 2023 as we get more info on The Deck of Many Things.


Wizards of the Coast dropped new details this week about the last Dungeons & Dragons release of 2023 as we get more info on The Deck Of Many Things. This is going to be the end-all-be-all book for the mythical deck that has plagued home games for decades and even served as a pivotal moment in livestream shows like Critical Role, as they have created a set of cards and a book dedicated to this magical item. However, unlike previous incarnations, this will be a deck you can build on your own to suit your own campaign's needs. You have everything to create the original if you so desire from the original sourcebooks, but this set will allow you to build one with an array of cards, so you get to pick and choose the flavor of chaos you dare put in your player's hands. We have more info below, as the deck and book will be available (both in a standard and special edition) on October 31, 2023.

The Deck of Many Things is a famous Dungeons & Dragons magic item whose effects are as spectacular as they are unpredictable. Within this box, you'll find the Book of Many Things, which illuminates the deck's mysteries and provides everything Dungeon Masters need to use it in their campaigns. This book includes advice, adventure locations, and new monsters for Dungeon Masters, as well as character options, magic items, and organizations for players, all inspired by the deck. This set also includes lavishly illustrated cards for the Deck of Many Things, including additional cards that triple the deck's size, allowing you to build the perfect deck for your campaign. An accompanying guidebook shows how to use the cards as a traditional oracle deck or to create D&D adventures inspired by the cards.
