Monster Bundle: 357 Pre-Filled Monster Cards (5E)

These stat cards are super creative and simple to use. They definitely help with running encounters by making it easier to keep track of everything. Throw them in some card sleeves and use a simple dry erase maker on the front to make any simple notes. Maybe they don't work for everyone, but they make my sessions easier for sure. Would recommend watching the demo video on Youtube for these stat cards as well.

The only thing keeping me from a 5/5 review is the provided self fillable stat cards. Perhaps its my OCD, or maybe my technical skills are inadequate, but when you are creating your own fillable ones, they do not match the premade ones 1/1 if you are trying to create duplicates of a stat card. The font size, bold/italics, or alignment on a fillable one do not line up when compared to a premade one.

Just wondering if these had all the monster from Hoard of the Dragon Queen. We are about to start a campaign and have had a horrible time finding pre-printed cards for all of the monsters. I could make them myself, but don't have the time.

I love these things. Monster cards in themselves are great. But the brilliance of these are that you can throw them in a Dragon Shield or other trading card sleeve. I had no idea how much of a game changer that would be. If you haven't already, go watch Kelsey's YouTube video where she demos how to use these. She has everyone roll initiative, then lines up the cards in initiative order and stacks them. Then for combat, you just go through the stack. Best system ever for making sure you don't miss someone. I added my own twist in that I use a dry erase marker to write on the sleeve what initiative they rolled. I can also track anything else that might be relevant, like conditions or hit points. Then when combat is over, I wipe them clean like a dry erase board.

Combat cards have also helped me a ton with game prep. I'm naturally disorganized, and I always felt like there was more I should have been doing to get ready my encounters before each session. Now I make sure I have the relevant combat cards pulled, flip through them again before the session, and I feel so much more prepared.

Very handy cards. Best design that i found so far. Thank you!
