Dungeon Challenge Cards (First Edition) by Philip Reed is a generic role playing game supplement published by Philip Reed Games.
The supplement is available as a 15-page PDF from DriveThruRPG for $4.95 but was purchased at a reduced price thanks to a special discount.
The first page describes what the supplement contains. There are a series of tables for rolling on (really, only one), then the same tables designed as hexagonal cards. The first page also includes a tuckbox that can be printed out and assembled.
There are 36 different results to get in a d66 table. Rolling two d6s determines which result to get; each result has an event or something encountered with details on what happens, divided into three different pieces as the event advances.
These results are then done in a more graphical format as cards. When a card is drawn, a token is placed on the card on the first of the three different sections of the event, then it is worked through.
The last two pages have six card backs on the first page, then three card backs and three blank cards on the second.
Dungeon Challenge Cards (First Edition) in Review
The PDF lacks bookmarks and, if used as cards, doesn’t need them. If the table is used instead, navigation could be better. The text is laid out as cards and appeared to be free of errors. The cards and tuckbox feature some black and white stock art. Presentation is decent.
As designed, this is more interesting as cards and is a useful addition to a GM’s toolbox for adding random events to a dungeon, though rather expensive at full price given the amount of content. However, as the cards are hexagonal, this is hardly the easiest type to print and cut out. The cards are also placed in slightly different places on the pages, so double-sided printing to get covers on front and back is not going to be as easy as it could be. Dungeon Challenge Cards (First Edition) is a nice idea though awkward to print out and a bit expensive, and it can be found by clicking here.
