Why Not Have It All?

If you are interested in this product, you might also be interested in Nerzugal's Dungeon Master Toolkit Compendium. It contains this product along with all of the other Toolkits I have published on the DM's Guild.

And the best part - it is Pay What you Want as well. You can get over 1000 pages of content with one checkout. If you are interested, just click the image below!

The Content

  • Six Adventures - In previous books, I have presented one-shots, but the adventures in this book require 2-3 sessions on average to complete so they have been given an upgrade to Adventures! They contain everything you need to successfully run these adventures and they can be dropped into almost any game world. The adventures each support a range of levels, but all fall within the 1-8 range this time around!
  • Ten Puzzles - Ten puzzles to add to the thirty from previous books provide DMs with all-new options to make their players scratch their heads. Some of these are as simple as finding out how to open a door or can be as difficult as decoding measures of music into hidden messages. 
  • Twenty Merchants - Twenty merchant pages complete with appearance, personality, unique qualities, and sample items for the shops. These are meant to be interesting merchants that you can drop into your campaign world and go far beyond ordinary weapon and armorsmiths. 
  • One-Hundred Monster Stat Blocks - One-Hundred new monsters to make a total of three-hundred across my products. This time around you will encounter a huge list of creatures of the fey including the deadly Flydra and wind-commanding sylphs. Put your players up against the deadly elemental-infused beasts or maybe even tame one as a new friend of the party. See if your group has what it takes to face off against the regenerating axotonl or the nigh-indestructible tardigrand!  Each of these monsters comes with lore to incorporate them more effectively into your game world!
  • One-Hundred Trinkets - New trinkets to scatter through your world or give your players at the start of a new campaign!
  • Over 30 pieces of unique artwork - Artwork is scattered through the book to bring both the monsters and the merchants to life. All illustrated specifically for Nerzugal's DM Toolkit 3!
  • 21 DungeonDraft Maps - Covering all of the needs for the included adventures to help bring your adventures to life in a VTT environment or to use as a guide for your hand-drawn maps!


FAQ

  • You have physical copies for your other books, what about this one?
    • I am a one-man team and with all of this content it is easy for me to miss some items along the way. I would love to release a physical copy in a few months, but would first like to collect feedback from the community to ensure the version that is released for print is of the highest quality!
  • Why are all of your artwork sketches instead of full-color illustrations?
    • I fund these books myself and artwork is expensive. I try to pay artists fairly and to have full-color illustrations instead of these sketches I would be looking at a budget well over $3,000 if I were to fairly compensate the artists. I still try to ensure the sketch art is high-quality and get as much as I can without incurring too much risk! 
  • How can I be sure this book is worth the price tag?
    • Simply go and check out some of my previous products on the DM's Guild and DriveThruRPG. They are all PWYW products and I have been trying to increase the quality of my content with each release. DM Toolkit 2 is a good place to look to see what you have in store and then you can make that decision. My books are all rated 4.7 or higher, some with hundreds of reviews, so hopefully that inspires confidence! You can also see the samples below for an idea of what you can expect!
  • Can I get these creatures on the Kobold Fight Club?
  • What if I just want the new creatures? I don't really care about adventures and puzzles
    • No problem! You can purchase the creatures as a standalone product!

Yes! There is a separate zip file that contains 22 maps that go along with the adventures included in the book. They are all png files so you can just upload them to your VTT of choice after downloading.

I'll be honest, I didn't even realize this was an issue you mentioned it. I got my proofs and showed them to a few friends and family members and none of us realized there was anything awry, but sure enough when I put them next to the other books the next isn't oriented correctly. I had the documents prepared by a professional layout editor this time around and the text orientation didn't even occur to me when I did my review of the cover files. This is one of those incredibly unfortunate situations where I think I just have to live with this mistake because to fix the files, get them reprocessed, and order new proofs would take 3-4 weeks and I don't believe I can do that without taking down the current offerings for the books. I am pretty devastated since I put so much work into getting these books prepared and even hired a professional to try to reduce errors. I understand if it is a mistake you can't look past and I apologize to anyone else who wishes to buy the book and has to deal with this. This is part...See more

I just wanted to let you know this issue has been corrected. My layout editor was shocked we let this slip by and was willing to correct the issue and I decided to do the reupload to make sure the books follow a consistent style. I apologize for the delays and inconvenience and thanks for bringing it to my attention!

Unfortunately I don't think it is going to be possible for this one unless something changes with the DM's Guild policies. They kind of locked down who was able to publish PoD items so if it was available to me I would hop right on it but last I heard from the staff it wasn't going to be possible.

Just picked this up and reading through the adventures, there are several places that a map would be useful. I don't see maps in the package at all is that intended?

You are correct but that is something I am actually looking into as I have become more familiar with some mapping tools and people have been asking for it. Maps were a challenge for this book as my last artist was unavailable and the new one wasn't comfortable with them. Would you mind shooting over some of the areas you specifically would like to see a map at Nerzugal@gmail.com so I can know the sorts of areas people are looking at?

Just wanted to let you know I took this on as a personal challenge over the weekend and managed to come up with about 20 maps that should supplement the adventures in the book! I will get these added in the next day or so once I do some final touches and get them exported.

Hey! I just uploaded the map files. Right now they are just PNG files, but if people need VTT or Roll20 specific maps I think I can get that worked out through DungeonDraft. Hopefully you can put them to use in your games!

Any chance of seeing this on Kobold Fight club? Also 1st time I've brough something off this site, but the amount of use I got from the 2nd toolkit, this seemed a no brainer as much as getting cool content, as saying thanks too

And thank you so much for the purchase. I hope you enjoy the content!

Legend, and a lot of the fey stuff is calling me to use it, I may have my mid level players walk into a pitched airship battle - I've got an elemental civil war brewing and this will be an epic representation, as the party walks into a dogfight and open warfare....allowing me to make it big in scale and numbers, but due to the size of hte combatants not a TPK threat

Once again a great toolkit. I especially love the musical constructs and how to can be used together to enhance their abilities. One question though, is it possible to integrate this toolkit with kobold fight club, as are the other 2?

I certainly can! I usually wait a little while for feedback to see if I need to fundamentally change anything because page number shifts cause a lot of issues, but it has probably been long enough at this point for me to feel comfortable. I will have to refresh myself with their methods but I should be able to make it happen in the next month or so.) Thanks!

I loved all your previous toolkits and use them regularly. One thing I particularly love is the first Extended Beastiary was included as a separate PDF. I have all my Beastiaries organized together and it makes a difference for planning purposes. Would it be possible to have it done for EB 2 and 3?

Hmm, that is not something I have planned but it is honestly not a bad idea. I am sure you are not the only one out there that would want a bestiary without all of the rest. I can't make any promises, but I will add it to my list. Thank you for the suggestion.

Greatly enjoyed your previous books and am happy to pay after you providing such an immense value upfront. The two adventures i have enjoyed most are the great Cockatrice race due to it being such a low stakes adventure that is great to ease new players into the hobby. Ive already ran it twice and had great pleasure each time.
The shrieking caverns is the one that has provided me with a villain for the ages, even if the players succeed in saving the kids there is a good chance that one of the hags escapes. Which provides a foe for the rest of the campaign.
Just wanted to thank you for providing such amazing content.

Is there any chance that this will ever be turned into a Pay What You Want product? I love these books, but as a teenager with no job, I have a hard time purchasing these. As the other two were PWYW, I was kind of hoping this would be. If not, I'll try to get the money, but we'll have to see.

Unfortunately, this one is going to remain a PWYW product. It will certainly be a part of sales as they occur on the site so if you wait you might be able to snag it for $7-10, but I wanted to have a product that I could include in sales and bundles and promotions on the site and just to see how well my sales do with a paid product. I'm glad you enjoy my content and hopefully my other books provide you a ton of value regardless.

I didn't plan on distributing adventures individually for this one, but that is something I could look into if there is a demand for it. The big issue is finding effective covers since I don't have art for all of them and cover art can be fairly expensive.

If you send me your contact information at Nerzugal@gmail.com, I can get you a copy of Give a Hoot! alone if you aren't interested in the full product.

Hey Steven! This might have been caused by a bug I uncovered (and reported) a while back. If you have two files with an identical name in a product, then delete one of them, both are deleted! Since then I always smack a version number on my files. Cheers! :D

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
