Theme: Abyssal horrors and artifacts in a stained-glass style for D&D 5e

Medium: digital

A 22-card deck inspired by tarot, featuring dark, stained-glass style artwork with an abyssal theme. Designed as a D&D 5e supplement, these cards serve as handouts for tabletop role-playing games.

About This Deck

The Deck of Abyssal Things is a 22-card set, drawing inspiration from the Major Arcana of tarot, but recontextualized for use within Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition. Each card features unique artwork rendered in a dark, stained-glass window style, depicting creatures and concepts associated with the Abyss. The deck is intended to function as a physical handout for Dungeon Masters, allowing them to introduce mysterious artifacts or plot devices directly into their campaigns.

The thematic focus is on the 'Abyss,' suggesting a connection to demonic realms, eldritch horrors, and dark magic within the D&D lore. The artwork, with its fragmented, jewel-toned appearance, evokes ancient, cursed objects or forbidden knowledge. While the deck uses a tarot-like structure of 22 cards, its primary purpose is as a game supplement rather than a divination tool, offering tangible elements to enhance the immersive experience of a D&D campaign.

This deck provides a visually compelling way for DMs to present powerful, enigmatic items or events to their players. The distinct art style ensures that each card stands out, making them memorable props for in-game interactions. Its D&D 5e compatibility means it is designed to integrate seamlessly into existing campaigns, adding a layer of thematic depth and physical interaction.
