I purchased all of the “Objects of Intrigue” decks during a sale, and they were very fun to look through. They contain a large variety of “objects” that you’d encounter in each of the corresponding decks, with 3-5 different flavors of each object. Some flavors are just that, flavor, where you’re given a table to roll a d4 on with no mechanical effects and provide a small story beat. The rest will have a chart that uses a d12 with varying mechanical effects.
I could see myself making a dungeon with marked points in certain places where they could then draw a card, or even picking out specific cards that get flipped as they encounter them. For lower levels I’d recommend curating the deck by removing cards that are too powerful or too harmful, but still leaving some kind of surprise or challenge.

Much like Nord’s other decks, this is a tool that every DM needs to help them get out of a rut when making flavor text.

These are great for writer’s block on homebrew campaigns. Need a side quest or even a whole new hook? Flip through these and they’ll definitely get your creative juices going!

I backed the Kickstarter for these decks; they are great!
Descriptive narrative is not my strong suit as a DM, so I rely a lot on props. This product helps me sporadically add objects that add a sense of life to an underdark setting. They encourage me to improvise and make dungeons feel a little more “alive”. There are a good variety of distinct items each including a great descriptive narrative. at first I was concerned that there are multiples of the same “type” of item, but they are all very distinct in flavor

I’ve purchased the other card decks for wandering monsters and treasure generators. This continues to be a worthwhile and fun item to use in my games. You and your players will love the randomness, yet entertaining addition this provides.

The Objects of Intrigue are something I’ve craved for awhile. Not “objects”, but rather random events or things that players can happen upon through the game, fully with the choice to engage the “thing” or not.
If you’ve played Kingdom Death, it’s the same thing as a “Hunt Event”. Something happens or is found, you roll to see if it was beneficial or negative IF the player(s) choose to engage it.
Short, simple, I love it, already have begun using it.

I love these; great for filling the gaps in an adventure between leaving town, and the final scene. I recommend all of them, if your word has such locations to populate.
