Deck of the Firestarter

Wondrous item, legendary (requires a tune man)

A 7-page table and list of 100 different effects, inspired by 100 of the 118 historical events and personalities included in American musician William Joel’s 1989 hit single „We Didn’t Start the Fire”. Originally submitted to Probably Bad RPG Ideas.
In a „Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure English release” fashion,  the 100 list items have been paraphrased/misspelled/reskinned to limit direct ties to real world history and guarantee a thin veneer of setting-neutrality (although, considering the premise, if you’re thinking to use of this item in your game you likely don’t need help in suspending your disbelief).

A great, balanced item if you’ve grown bored with the same old Deck of Many Things, but you’d still like players to gamble with the reality they live in.

It features:

• As stated, 100 effects, including 3 monster statblocks and 3 other magic items
• 4 beautiful illustrations by Dusky Cat! Check her out on Patreon
