One of the things I love most about this deck is that every single card features unique artwork – even the numbered (pip) cards – while still remaining functional and easy to use for any game that uses a standard poker deck. This deck was a true labor of love, as drawing my own take on creatures from the fantasy games I grew up playing has been one of my favorite things to do as far back as I can remember.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA few additional notes about this deck:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEach suit represents the denizens of a different terrain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumbered card contains the corresponding number of creatures. \u003cspan class=\"text-italic\"\u003e(For example, the 10 of Spades depicts 10 wererats—or 8 small rat folk accompanied by 2 larger rat ogres, for a total of 10). \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe cards are not meant to represent specific creatures, but rather to capture the “vibe” of an encounter appropriate to whatever setting you’re playing in. And if you’re using the deck as a standard poker deck, and don't play TTRPG's you can still just enjoy the aesthetics. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Imps and Monsters LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51710394925223,"sku":null,"price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0675\/8858\/7687\/files\/REPCTuck.png?v=1793394437","url":"https:\/\/impsandmonsters.com\/products\/random-encounters-playing-cards","provider":"Imps and Monsters LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
