The Deck of Many Bones introduces to your campaign new and fun ways to view a fantasy staple. This magical item was crafted to share with the world its creator's enthusiasm for skeletons, so its 60 cards include a wide array of themed items, encounters, boons, spells, and characters.
In putting together the Deck, the goal was to focus on more than skeletons as creatures. Some cards draw upon associated themes, such as properties of divination. Others use the skeleton to spin or enhance outside concepts. Some embrace the humble skeleton. You can browse the example cards in the preview image gallery for a better idea. The card distribution loosely amounts to: 10 encounters or characters; 20 boons, abilities, or spells; 30 items. There's some overlap, for example, in items or encounters that grant boons or abilities.
Negative outcomes are all well and good—they have a place in most campaigns. However, they just don't suit the agenda of the Deck of Many Bones. But your players don't need to know that.
The Deck of Many Bones strives for neutral wording and mechanics. If your fantasy system uses numbered dice (such as a d20) and your setting allows for skeletons, it might be supported. Many of Roll20's most popular systems are.
