Mimics - An Unnecessary Work | Dungeons - Useless Ideas | Jiggles & Wiggles - Gelatinous Cubes Rule! | Snowy Scenes by Phillip Reed Games

• SYSTEM: Dungeons & Dragons
• PRODUCT TYPE: pocket maps
• RETAIL PRICE: $20 each
• DESCRIPTION: These are foldable maps of RPG words and art that fit in a pocket with a grouchy attitude. The author, Phillip Reed, says these works suck. His words not mine. Which should make you want to buy them even more. Mimics, An Unnecessary Work. This collection of useless thoughts is divided into four camps: Making mimics more wondrous and magical. A 4d6 table as well as a 3d6 table, each offering some quick ideas about what is the mimic imitating this time. A multitude of mimic encounter ideas. And a mysterious mimic’s lair with which to kill characters. Dungeons: 1d10 terrible ideas for what the PCs may find when they open a locked door in the dungeon. More dungeon encounters. 3d6 dungeon inhabitants. Jiggles & Wiggles, Gelatinous Cubes Rule! Now what is that damn cube doing? What’s inside this jiggly gelatinous cube? Take inspiration from these words and use a few of these ideas to wipe-out the party. After all, the adventurers likely deserve death for some past offense. Snowy Scenes offers several encounter seeds for those times when the PCs are exploring an arctic environment and the GM is sick of their nonsense. Playing in the snow on one side for 4d12 encounters and winter encounters with 2d20 on the other. GM can’t decide which one to use? Use playing in the snow if the PCs have been likable this session and use winter encounters if someone at the table has been annoying or unusually foolish.
