5e Creature Deck Comparison Video
After putting together a comparison video of our 5e Magic Item Decks to the official ones, we’ve now put together a video about our 5e Creature Decks compared to the official Monster Cards. The video shows the PDFs of many of ours, and I hold up a few of ours and theirs to compare card stock and font sizes. Here is a summary:
Inkwell Ideas 5e Creature Decks advantages:
- Has many creatures the official decks don’t. (Adult dragons, and any System Reference Document (SRD) creatures over CR16.)
- There is a deck with all the beasts–the official decks don’t have beasts.
- The set has a deck of NPCs as well.
- We print in the USA.
- Our font size is larger.
- We include the PDFs and offer them separately as well.
Official Monster Cards advantages:
- Have some creatures the Inkwell Ideas decks don’t. (Non-SRD creatures such as mind flayers. Surprisingly, the official deck doesn’t have beholders.)
- Thicker & laminated.
- They have more consistent art, because it is the same as what is in the monster manual. But the quality of most of the Inkwell Ideas creature art is on par. (You’ll see many in the video.)
