Monster Countdown Deck (VTT Version)

ADD TO WISHLIST >

This product contains a free low-resolution Countdown Deck designed for use on a Virtual Tabletop (VTT). You can also purchase a printed (or print-and-play) version of the Countdown Deck from here.

These cards are primarily designed to be used with fantasy roleplaying games and settings, but can also be used for horror, or even for science fiction. They offer the following special features:

1. Four jokers instead of the usual two, each with a suit.

2. Prominent “countdown numbers” at the top of each card. These can be used for initiative: deal each character a card, then count down from highest to lowest to determine turn order. Fast characters can draw 2-3 cards and keep the highest, while slow characters might draw 2-3 cards and use the lowest.

3. A unique “monster symbol” at the bottom of each card. This symbol can be used as an improvisational prompt—for example a “web” might indicate a literal trap, or a sticky situation, or a social connection, or a network of spies, and so on.

The monster symbols can be used to generate adventures, to determine random complications, or for any number of other purposes. However they are mainly intended for generating monsters: draw 3-6 cards and use the symbols to reveal a monster’s characteristics and abilities. You can also use the monster illustrations for further inspiration.

Note: Don't forget to check out the other free VTT Countdown decks here and here!

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
