Hey Patrons!

So we can continue to create bigger and badder Big Bads, we’d love to hear your thoughts on the most recent Big Bad, The Maker! The PDF was sent by Patreon message on March 6th so you should all have access to it.

How were the mechanics? Did you enjoy her story? Let us know in the poll and be sure to leave any comments or feedback for us below! 

Cheers,

The Deck of Many Team

What did you think of The Maker?

The Invisible Gentleman

I could have done with some more examples of her custom construct minions, but other than that everything was great.

Bruce Weese

I wish I had time to play RPGs, I love the Deck of many and hope to find non-RPG game play for these cards and story lines.

Allen McCumber

for the Big Bad, I would love to see examples of how to scale the encounter for lower CR groups, and I have to echo The Invisible Gentleman's suggestion of reference and examples for a few of her minions would have been awesome too

Tyler Dinelle

I would have liked to have some scaling for the boss as my party would die most likely from round 1. Maybe a easy thing to do is have above the ability a CR rating example the boss with the first ability is CR whatever and adding more adds to the CR. What I am currently going to do is strip the boss of ability and slowly add so she would be a good scale with the party. Was hoping for some minions you have pictures of them why no stat block over the image in the corner? as a side thing why not have the quick info minis have something to do with the boss example Tyrannosaurus Rex and Triceratops, is The Maker delving in time travel :p.

Jasper van den Hof

I would have liked a few more variations of her soldier constructs since that seems a big part of her combat tactic approach. Just having "Animated Armor" minions seems like too monotonous for a creative genius like herself. Could have added a few example variations of special attacks/abilities (weaponized with fire/cold/poison blasts/exhausts e.g.). On the other hand, that's not hard to add myself. Add: I also like to state that I love the idea of her being a two-part being with both parts being able to 'use' separately.

M. Remington

I very much like the Maker, both mechanically and in flavor. It's already sparked several ideas for my own home games. I was just hoping for some rules or ideas for what happens when the party Barbarian inevitably tries to yank the sword out of the big stone golem. Because that is literally the first thing my players would try.

Michael Johnson

Definitely an interesting scenario. Like the other commentators I would suggest some more minion stats, or at least suggestions about more specialized one like a walking plasma cutter or an automaton CNC machine. And in the spirit of giving monsters the brains they're supposed to have, having the sword clearly visible and relatively easy to reach needs modification. At least a protective cage, or perhaps an armoured backpack (like the V-engine of a Heavy Gear). Like M. Remington said, someone is going to try to King-Arthur that thing.
