Dungeons & Dragons Spellbook Cards: Monsters 0-5 (D&D Accessory)

NOTE: I Copied and Pasted my Review from "Dungeons & Dragons Spellbook Cards: Monsters 6-16 (D&D Accessory) below. I felt the same review could apply for both, so I'm dropping it below. Will fix relevant information.PROSQuality: Top Notch. Not only do the cards have all the essential information, but the artwork is great, mostly pulled from the MM if I'm not mistaken and maybe some other sources. I started collecting the Class Cards last year and the quality compared to those are the same.Price: Price seems to be in line with all the other sets I've purchased in the past. I will admit that buying multiple or even all sets at once can be costly. I made a habit of simply adding a deck or two to my usual Amazon Orders and it was far less impact-full on my wallet. After a few months I had my whole collection.Usage: The main reason to buy these is convenience. As a DM, while building my encounters, I would create index cards to copy my creature/ncp information on so that I could have them handy instead of flipping through books to find relevant information. These cards not only eliminate the need for that, they also provide a visual aid for players to go along with your verbal description of creatures if you need. This will save me many hours over the years to come!CONS:Card Size: In hindsight, it should have been obvious top me, but it wasn't made very clear that you'd be provided with different size cards: 2.5" x 3.5" and 3" x 5". Some of the monsters have many actions that require the extra space to include. If you plan to organize these cards with sheet protectors, please note you'll need both the 9 Card Sheets and 4 Card Sheets in tandem. This unfortunately also causes you to have organizing issues. I had to separate my cards into two groups based on the card size, and then alphabetically. This is minor, but still bugs me sometimes when looking for a specific creature and I'm not sure whether it will be in the small deck or the large deck.Monsters and NPC's: As others have stated, there appear to be cards "missing" since there are several popular creatures not included in the deck. I agree that the description here can be misleading, as I too thought ALL monsters in the 0-5 Range would be included but they are not.With a bit of research, you can see that the manufacturer has created two other decks (not yet released) that should fill out these gaps. "Creature and NPC Cards" and "Epic Monsters" appear to me to have the remaining monsters needed to complete your monsters from both the PH and MM, assuming you have "Monsters 6-16" and along with this set "Monsters 0-5" already.Overall, I feel this set was well worth the price. The quality is here, and the added convenience is a guaranteed time saver. Though the description is misleading, definitely look into these if you have a real need for them. You won't regret it.

These cards are a great purchase. So much easier than writing out stat blocks, printing them off, or flipping through a book.Little tip if you get these and want to put them in a binder, the larger cards are 3.75ishx5.75ish. Get recipe card binder pages, now you're not locked into the overpriced binder sheets this company sells.

Great cards. I wish they would be shipped in more protective packaging. The bubble mailer didn't cut it on other orders where cards got smashed on corners. These luckily made it through the second time around.

I bought this product and all the other creature cards, because I knew that I would like to have all of the monsters. In this deck, I was expecting to have most of the things, with a few things in the beast deck, and a few others in the epic deck. Instead, the distribution of cards was a little bit confusing. The cards themselves are great, high quality, and very useful, but the cards that you get in this pack don't intuitively make sense. I am glad that I bought the beast/NPC pack as well. If you actually want every creature from CR 0-5, get this and the beast/NPC card deck.It still is very useful though, Im excited to use in game

I purchased card sheet protectors and a binder to store these in.I dig out whatever Monsters I'll need stats for before a game and it's made running a D&D game much smoother.It's also awesome to use if you're building your own campaign and want to find Monsters for it based on CR.

The media could not be loaded.  I like the items. I have a baseball card set of monsters instead of baseball players. Either way swing a sword or a bat the item cards are really convenient. It's kinda like a casting call and you pick your weapon, person, etc from a card deck. Cards can be shuffled and drawn too. Cards have and always will be fun. D&D could be Dice and Decks. With theater of the mind anything is possible. So I don't know exactly what was in the monster manual that I am missing and I really don't care. I need cannon fodder and I am new to the DM experience. How can I push my players but not break them? I need to ramp upthe violence. It's like a spice cabinet of creatures. I think the duplicate stuff may be taken care of on the most recent prints.

I bought this for my boyfriend and he loves it. We have been using them in all our dnd sessions and our party is amazed with the set. This was the perfect gift for my boyfriend/DM. The cards have detailed stats about the monsters and the illustrations are awesome.

My granddaughter went nuts when she opened these on Christmas. Grandma was a big hit.

Muy buen producto pero no todas las cartas son de la misma medida, tiene algunas que son el doble de grande y no cabran en tus protectores regulares

High quality card. The only downside is that some monster of ther basix rules are missing, like the banshee. But overall, it can replace the monster manual for cheaper

Algumas das cartas vieram com defeito de fabricação, mas nada que atrapalhe muito, fora isso são ótimas, recomendo como um acessório para mestres.

Ich habe mir kürzlich die Gale Force Nine GF973923 Dungeons & Dragons: Monsterkarten, Herausforderung 0-5, gekauft und bin absolut begeistert von ihnen! Diese Karten sind eine großartige Ergänzung für jedes Werkzeugset eines Dungeon Masters und machen das Führen von Begegnungen zum Kinderspiel.Die Karten sind aus hochwertigen Materialien gefertigt und sind sehr robust. Sie sind auch sehr leicht zu lesen, mit klaren und concisen Informationen zu jedem Monster. Die Karten enthalten auch wunderschöne Illustrationen, die die Monster zum Leben erwecken.Eines der Dinge, die ich an diesen Karten am meisten liebe, ist, dass sie nach Schwierigkeitsgrad geordnet sind. Dies macht es einfach, das perfekte Monster für jede Begegnung zu finden, unabhängig vom Level der Gruppe. Die Karten enthalten auch Informationen über die Angriffe, Fähigkeiten und besonderen Merkmale des Monsters, sodass Sie sie problemlos ausführen können, ohne auf das Monsterhandbuch verweisen zu müssen.Diese Karten waren für mich als Dungeon Master ein Lebensretter. Sie haben es mir so viel einfacher gemacht, Begegnungen zu führen, und haben mir auch geholfen, dynamischere und interessantere Begegnungen für meine Spieler zu erstellen.Positiv:Hochwertige MaterialienRobustLeicht zu lesenWunderschöne IllustrationenNach Schwierigkeitsgrad geordnetEnthält Informationen über die Angriffe, Fähigkeiten und besonderen Merkmale des MonstersNegativ:Keine, die ich gefunden habe

Voy a empezar a jugar rol y me las compré por comodidad y ambientación. Son geniales. Lástima que no las encuentre en castellano
