Just love these cards

The Encounter Cards are exactly what I needed... I used to print on a piece of paper the monster's picture from the web or PDF source and print the stats block on another paper and hang everything on my DM screen with a paper clip... lol ... Similar result but not as nice at all and a bit clumsy... So happy B&G made them... high quality paper stock, great for every game... and with that amazing new box to keep them in ! Just WOW !

Keep them coming please

These cards come in so handy for GMs. They slot straight over your DM screen so the players get to see what they are facing and DMs have all the stats at their fingertips. Please keep adding to these B&G. The more monsters the better 👍

My favorite DM resource

Love these cards! When there are a hundred different things going through my mind DMing, having stats and tactics easily accessible is very nice and takes a load off. Also having the art for my players to look at is another plus. My one con is I wish I had these cards for all the monsters! Hopefully more sets are coming to fill in the gaps (all the dragons, npcs, etc).

These are great

My favorite part is the combat tips included for each. Having that info right on the card is super-helpful when running combat.

I like this encounter cards

Well I think this is the best additon to any of your boxes to be honest, the maps and hands out are great don't get me wrong, but oh boy do the encounter cards help a lot and have a huge impact on the table as well. Adding the strategy part is just an overall improvement and the alternative art as well.

Not sure if the new Monster manual will have enough changes to vanilla monsters, but I'd be nice if you added your own flavor to some monters that only have basic actions to them, something like what MCDM "Flee Mortals" did. Pretty sure you have your own homebrew on some monsters from the MM. Maybe a separate side bar with the suggested Cooldown or special ability. Just a suggestion, Keep them coming!

Something good made better

Have always enjoyed the encounter cards that come with the premium editions. They make running encounters easy and add flavor to the game. The addition of the tips to the encounter cards make them even better as it provides advice on how to run the monsters that goes beyond background. Very innovative!

The Perfect In Game DM/GM Accessory

Ever since I started purchasing Beadle and Grimms Boxset I’ve hoped that they would start selling the Encounter Cards on their own and here we are! They are the perfect accessory for an amazing in game experience. They simple slide over the top of the game masters screen, placing the stunning artwork shown to the players and the stats and B&G Tactics to the GM/DM. The players get to see the beast they slaying in all its glory! And the Game Master doesn’t have to flip between notes and books to look at stats. It also makes prepping and set up super easy!! These are wonderful and I will buy EVERY SINGLE RELEASE!
