Dungeons & Dragons Spellbook Cards: Monsters 6-16 (D&D Accessory)
D**E
Great Set, though Misleading.
PROSQuality: Top Notch. Not only do the cards have all the essential information, but the artwork is great, mostly pulled from the MM if I'm not mistaken and maybe some other sources. I started collecting the Class Cards last year and the quality compared to those are the same.Price: Price seems to be in line with all the other sets I've purchased in the past. I will admit that buying multiple or even all sets at once can be costly. I made a habit of simply adding a deck or two to my usual Amazon Orders and it was far less impact-full on my wallet. After a few months I had my whole collection.Usage: The main reason to buy these is convenience. As a DM, while building my encounters, I would create index cards to copy my creature/ncp information on so that I could have them handy instead of flipping through books to find relevant information. These cards not only eliminate the need for that, they also provide a visual aid for players to go along with your verbal description of creatures if you need. This will save me many hours over the years to come!CONS:Card Size: In hindsight, it should have been obvious top me, but it wasn't made very clear that you'd be provided with different size cards: 2.5" x 3.5" and 3" x 5". Some of the monsters have many actions that require the extra space to include. If you plan to organize these cards with sheet protectors, please note you'll need both the 9 Card Sheets and 4 Card Sheets in tandem. This unfortunately also causes you to have organizing issues. I had to separate my cards into two groups based on the card size, and then alphabetically. This is minor, but still bugs me sometimes when looking for a specific creature and I'm not sure whether it will be in the small deck or the large deck.Monsters and NPC's: As others have stated, there appear to be cards "missing" since there are several popular creatures not included in the deck. I agree that the description here can be misleading, as I too thought ALL monsters in the 6-16 Range would be included but they are not.With a bit of research, you can see that the manufacturer has created two other decks (not yet released) that should fill out these gaps. "Creature and NPC Cards" and "Epic Monsters" appear to me to have the remaining monsters needed to complete your monsters from both the PH and MM, assuming you have "Monsters 0-5" and along with this set "Monsters 6-16" already.Overall, I feel this set was well worth the price. The quality is here, and the added convenience is a guaranteed time saver. Though the description is misleading, definitely look into these if you have a real need for them. You won't regret it.

Great tool for DMs
I have these in card protectors in a binder. I pull out the creatures I need before I run a game. They're an awesome DM tool.

Don't hesitate to buy! These are great!
I hesitated to buy these because I saw some negative reviews regarding lack of artwork, etc. I bought them anyway and I am here to tell you that these are worth it! Before game night I pull the monsters I will be using and keep them in a card box I had from Magic the Gathering. Each card has the stat blocks I need and it saves me a ton of time looking stuff up before and during play. Pictured are some of the standard sized cards, as well as the larger cards. I keep them in a 3-ring binder in card protector sheets.

Great DM Tool
Cards arrived in perfect coindition with no marks, bends, nor tears. As a new DM these are great for quick references and keeping my area organized. My players love them as well because they get to see what the creature looks like as the battle happens. Although, I wish the box was crafted differently. After only a few uses the box became started to show bends, creases, or tears where it opens.

Great gift
It’s a great gift or just for your collection if you’re an avid DnD player. My friend was very happy to get these and she uses them every time she is the DM

Well worth it!
These are great looking cards that provide both easy access to monster stats and an image of the monster. I am looking forward to using them to add some randomization to monster battles, keeping things exciting as a DM. I have no doubts that players will enjoy having a picture of the monster to add some enjoyment to their experience as well. Very happy with this purchase!

Bastante útil
As cartas são bonitas, duráveis e úteis, mas são bem menores do que eu imaginava.

Ein fantastisches Tool für Dungeon Masters
Ich habe mir kürzlich die Gale Force Nine GF973924 Dungeons & Dragons: Monsterkarten, Herausforderung 6-16, gekauft und bin absolut begeistert! Diese Karten sind eine fantastische Ergänzung für jedes Werkzeugset eines Dungeon Masters und machen das Führen von Begegnungen zum Kinderspiel.Die Karten sind aus hochwertigen Materialien gefertigt und sehr robust. Sie sind auch sehr leicht zu lesen, mit klaren und concisen Informationen zu jedem Monster. Die Karten enthalten auch wunderschöne Illustrationen, die die Monster zum Leben erwecken.Eines der Dinge, die ich an diesen Karten am meisten liebe, ist, dass sie nach Schwierigkeitsgrad geordnet sind. Dies macht es einfach, das perfekte Monster für jede Begegnung zu finden, unabhängig vom Level der Gruppe. Die Karten enthalten auch Informationen über die Angriffe, Fähigkeiten und besonderen Merkmale des Monsters, sodass Sie sie problemlos ausführen können, ohne auf das Monsterhandbuch verweisen zu müssen.Diese Karten waren für mich als Dungeon Master ein Lebensretter. Sie haben es mir so viel einfacher gemacht, Begegnungen zu führen, und haben mir auch geholfen, dynamischere und interessantere Begegnungen für meine Spieler zu erstellen.Positiv:Hochwertige MaterialienRobustLeicht zu lesenWunderschöne IllustrationenNach Schwierigkeitsgrad geordnetEnthält Informationen über die Angriffe, Fähigkeiten und besonderen Merkmale des MonstersNegativ:Keine, die ich gefunden habeFazit:Ich kann die Gale Force Nine GF973924 Dungeons & Dragons: Monsterkarten, Herausforderung 6-16, jedem Dungeon Master wärmstens empfehlen.

Muy útil para DM's
Excelente calidad del material, las ilustraciones son muy útiles para identificar y presentar a la criatura. Si bien no incluye todas las criaturas correspondientes al CR, cumple correctamente con su función al presentar a las más emblemáticas. Buen suplemento para cuando no se tiene el Monster Manual o cuando se quiere ahorrar espacio en la mesa de juego.

Bien mais pas top...
Loin d'être indispensable, ce set de cartes est tout de même très pratique. Les cartes sont "plastifiées" de manière à pouvoir écrire déçus au marqueur effaçable, solide, et claire... Par contre, il me manque la carte de la méduse par exemple 😐... Je n'ai pas verif' toutes les cartes, mais c'est dommage 😓. Par contre, il y a une carte de Dragon Tortue qui n'a rien à faire la 😑.Bref, ce n'est pas parfait, mais dans l'ensemble, je ne regrette pas mon achat :)
