Loke BattleMats has added another fun accessory to their collection for those diving into roleplaying games. You can now pre-order the neat Dumb Dares & Silly Side Quests card pack to throw a bit of oddity into your D&D 5th Edition campaigns and beyond.

Inside the set, you'll find a deck of cards which will prompt memorable roleplaying moments on the tabletop that should get players thinking creatively. They are specifically designed to get your characters into weird scrapes and make them improvise in the moment, giving them a chance to take the spotlight.

Why wouldn't you want to break an obscure local law? This could also be great to allow the players to engage in a bit of cooperative storytelling, helping the Dungeon Master craft the world rather than leaving it all on their plate.

You get a sense that this seems primed for the Bards and Rogues amongst your dungeon delving party. I also like the idea that maybe these cards have been crafted to be "in-world" and this is something that tends to happen at every tavern during the evening!

Loke has also introduced a set of examples on the cards that might help those players who are pondering what dare or side quest they could undertake. I sense a lot of derailed campaigns popping up!

This is available to pre-order now ahead of a full release in August!
