Deck of the Hivemind

Regular price $39.99

300 colorful NPCs ready to appear on the scene!

Who's inside the tavern? Who is the shopkeeper? What is the name of this bandit from the random encounter? Players all over the world ask these questions, much to the headache of their Dungeon Masters. What if a few cards could answer these inquiries?

This deck of cards got you covered. No more rolling on d100 tables until you get a satisfying pitch for a new NPC, or finding yourself in a situation where in the heat of the moment you name the villain of the week after your aunt's cat, only to realize that it sounds silly, or worse, a bit dated and racially insensitive. Well, this won't ever be an issue again with our help ⁠— just draw a few cards from the Deck of the Hive Mind and choose the one that fits your situation the best. You will find that missing bit of inspiration on the spot.

Each card has a portrait on the front, depicting one of the characters from our two published adventure modules, Crown of the Oathbreaker and Torrents of the Spellhoarder. Almost every illustration is based on the likeness of one of our wonderful backers and supporters, giving the portraits additional uniqueness, charm, and personality. Each character's name is right there under their portrait. If you have trouble remembering names (I surely do!), this is a godsend.

On the backside of the cards, you find an evocative description of the character, along with a short quote to help you start roleplaying the personality of each NPC right away. These descriptions and quotes are not from the adventures, instead, they are completely new lines written in a setting-neutral, playful tone, fit for any campaign that features a diverse cast of memorable side characters.

Of course, they can also be used alongside our official adventures, since every character in the deck appears in one of our campaigns. After learning their official roles and backstories, you can use the cards to immerse your players further when they meet the NPCs in question.

The Deck of the Hivemind comes in a beautiful box for storage and transportation, and houses 300 unique cards in a single deck box.
