SpellCards 5e

This appears to cover all the spells available in 5e. Each card contains name, level, casting time, range, duration, components and school. There is also a useful little indicator showing which of verbal, somatic and materiel are required. Finally there is a paragraph detailing the effects of the spell.

There are 47 Alphabetical pdf's containing 1 to 8 spells.

Must have to keep track of spells in my opinion and at a very reasonable price.

The BEST spell cards for D&D 5e! I only wish I could purchase every spell, but there are restrictions via the open gaming license. The detail of these spell cards are amazing, from content to the cutout. You will not be disappointed.

I'm always a fan of cards as record-keeping in games as they make the game flow much smoother and tend to support players to be more prepared (and the DM to construct material on the fly). These cards are excellent, providing all of the spell information you need for your 5e game. I'll not only encourage my players to purchase a set to have at the table (and construct custom decks to represent their spellbooks or equivalent) but also as a tactile treasure when they lay hands on a captured spellbook. There is an extra sense of achievement for the player when you hand them a small stack of cards to rummage through after defeating an enemy mage and these are perfect for the job. An accompanying product that I'd buy in an instant would be collections of monsters on these sorts of cards (like the old 'Monster Sets' from first edition), perhaps as themed decks (ie 'Dungeon Monsters', 'Aquatic Monsters', High-Level Threat Monsters'). I could imagine combining some monster cards with a few spell cards to make book-keeping and encounter construction behind the screen much easier. Keep up the good work, Myth Merchant Press.

Having initially rated this as 3 stars due to my not being able print it, I can now say I've Realised my mistake and give it the 5 stars it deserves.

To print the pdf file with the fronts and backs aligned, I selected duplex printing and "auto-rotate and centre" in the options given by the pdf print program. This worked absolutely flawlessly.

The content of the cards is accurate without being as verbose as many of the descriptions in the PHB. They are a real pleasure to use in-game and as an aid while preparing for the game.

5e spells are plagued with unwieldly descriptions that are way too verbose to deal with mid-game. Enter SpellCards 5e, which expertly rectifies that problem. The real reason you want to buy this product is because of the condensed mechanics; all the important information is presented exactly where it needs to be, and all the stuff you don't care about is eschewed. The fact that it's packaged in a nice double-sided card format is just icing on the cake.

As a long-term player of spellcasters, I have a lot of different spellcards from different publishers, ranging from top-of-the-line commercial packs bought at my FLGS to PDFs bought here & elsewhere. The Spellcards 5e cards rank among my favourites, for being clear, concise, easy-to-use and attractive. My GM was so impressed he wants a set for himself!

The first thing to draw the eye is the legend in the top right, clearly showing at a glance whether the spell has verbal, somatic or material components, if it's a concentration spell (hugely important for 5e wizards!), and even if the material component is consumed. When your GM likes to throw adverse effects at you whilst you're spellcasting, and you have only seconds to pick a spell, the ability to spot one that can be used while restrained or silenced can be a lifesaver!

Highlighting ritual spells with another icon is another great idea, and I now game with a little stack of cards that I don't have to memorise but can cast with ten minutes' preparation (funny how the party's always willing to pause the dungeon crawl while I cast identify...).

Unlike almost every other spell card I've used, the cards don't slavishly copy the (sometimes tortured and convoluted) text of the PHb: instead, they're a clear summation of the rules, with nifty colour-coding for the results of failing & passing saves. Highlighting important words in the spell description (types of saves, durations, etc) means less time spent reading rules, fewer mistakes in the heat of battle, and more time crushing enemies!

Filling empty slots on pages with condition & area of effect rules cards as 'extras' is a wonderful idea, & it's great having these to hand as a quick reference during play. My only problem is that you then have to print multiples of these pages, scattered throughout the set, if you want to issue cards to several players affected by the same condition(s). Of course, by definition, using them as space-fillers means that's going to happen. The only suggestion I can make is that if Myth Merchant chooses to add separate pages to the PDF just for the condition/AoE rules, players & GMs will be very happy.

Lastly, kudos to Myth Merchant Press for continuing to support these cards, quickly correcting the (minor) errors & releasing improvements like variant card backs.

Pros: Clear & attractive art & icons; simple, easy-to-use rules; nice features like colour-coding; important rules are highlighted. Cons: The PDF cards being laid out with a little white space between them is an annoying feature, as it means twice as many cuts. Value for money (PDF): superb. Rating: A solid 4/5, probably edging up to 4.5/5 if the cards were laid out as a single sheet & easier to cut! Overall, an impressive product.

Thanks for the review! I hope you have seen the new backs (added for free). Each spell has its own unique back now. The gaps.... I can certainly tighten them up a bit. That will take a bit of jiggering (like a weekend\'s effort) and I will dedicate some pages to the conditions being clustered together. Thanks again for the insight. and be on the lookout for the next update... :-)
