Overview
Created by Will Earl, wildly publisher founder and host of DnD Shorts, The Game Master's Deck of Wild Magic and Mischief is designed to make the use of magic in TTRPGs more exciting, dangerous, unpredictable and fun. What is wild magic? In Dungeons & Dragons, as well as other fantasy-themed TTRPGs, wild magic is a random, unpredictable force that can produce unexpected magical effects that are out of control of those who wield such powerful forces. Such chaos-creating fields can be imposed on another character or enhance one's own abilities. Wild magic can be a natural occurrence or a product of wizardry. No matter how it comes into play, it's sure to alter the playing field in ways no one can anticipate (which is half the fun!). This deck of wild magic is bursting with 20 fantastical benefits and 20 mischief-making effects that will elevate more traditional combat encounters or casting opportunities into mind-bending challenges that have the potential to turn a conflict-or the entire game-upside down. With The Game Master's Deck of Wild Magic and Mischief, players and GMs can draw cards from the deck at random, causing wild magic to spiral across the battlefield or the home front, empowering monsters with terrifying new abilities and rewarding players with bizarre and hilarious magical effects. It's everything you need to craft epic, evolving, and unpredictable encounters with wild magic!
