Halaster Blackcloak has become quite infamous as the creator of Undermountain, the twisted and massive dungeon complex that resides beneath Waterdeep. The Mad Mage, as he is known, has traveled across the planes and into the unknown to populate his warped domain with all kinds of creatures, traps, and surprises. Among Halaster’s eclectic habits is collecting incomplete songs, poems, and other works of writing. He has even been known to present adventurers with such partially incomplete pieces and determine their fate based on how they fill in the blanks.

Libs of the Mad Mage is a collection of songs, poems, and stories that have blanks to be filled in by the adventurers. These can be presented to the characters with or without context of the fuller work, and can be used in a wide variety of scenarios. The outcome is almost certain to result in original, entertaining, and… interesting new compositions and encounters that Halaster can add to his nearly infinite collection of unusual keepsakes and challenges.

This product contains:

  • 11 original "Mad Libs" style stories, poems, and songs with blanks to be filled in by the players. Titles include:
    • At The Tavern
    • The Waltz of Steel
    • Juice of the Barley
    • My First Dungeon
  • Mechanics and guidance for using those completed pieces as encounters, puzzles, and performances within the context of an adventure.
  • Notes from Halaster on several of the pieces and his thoughts on them. 
  • 3 original magic items that fit the theme of being able to choose something on the fly:
    • Ever-Changing Spellbook
    • Dagger of Damage Types
    • The Mad Mage's Tools

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.
