Nerzugal's Game Master Toolkit

ADD TO WISHLIST >
Selected Option:
$
Suggested Price $9.99

This is the second Toolkit I have created to help out Game Masters new and old for 5E. Similar to the first, you will find fully detailed dungeons and one-shot adventures, most of which can be dropped in any traditional fantasy world with minimal effort. This Toolkit also comes with 100 new monsters as part of Nerzugal’s Extended Bestiary with numerous unique creatures as well as expansions upon existing types such as centaur, kobold, ogre, orc, and even bullywug and includes beautiful artwork for 26 of these unique monsters! In all, the Toolkit contains 5 full dungeons, 5 one-shot adventures, 10 puzzles, 100 trinkets, and 100 monsters to help develop your world! 

The Toolkit was created with both novice and veteran game masters in mind, giving detailed guides and walkthroughs that are easy to follow and can be dropped into most settings. So if you are just looking for some new monsters to throw at your party or if you are someone who has always wanted to try GMing but were afraid to go at it alone, there is something for you within the Toolkit!

For a look at the contents of the book check the previews to see the Table of Contents, one of the dungeons included, and a few of the monsters from the bestiary. If you are interested in monsters but not necessarily in dungeons or one-shots, you can purchase just the monsters for half the price of the full Toolkit. 

Physical Book Prints:

The book was created using all black and white artwork except for the cover, so you don't have to worry about losing out on critical content by choosing to buy the cheaper book option! Everything is locked in at Pay What You Want, so please consider using the prices below to help support me if you are buying a physical copy of the book. If you pay exactly the cost of the book's production at checkout, I get $0 for my work, so please consider being a bit generous if you are already paying for a book and shipping so I can continue to make high-quality products going forward!:

Softcover B&W - $14.99

Softcover Color - $17.99

Hardcover Color - $24.99

Love this toolkit! One thing - in gnome man's land, I think the solution to memory jars is incorrect! It says it should be 7, but the math of the numbers provided adds up to 8.

I just want to point out that there is a pile of Nerzugal Toolkits, Bestiaries and Adventures on DMsGuild that don't show up when you're searching from DriveThruRPG. :D

I'm a little confused--the version I want is Hardcover, Standard Color Book, but when I looked through the pdf it looks B&W. Are the pictures colored in the version that says "Colored Book"?

Is there a difference between the Game Master Tool Kit and the Dungeon Master Tool Kits?

Yes, Game Master is Pathfinder oriented, Dungeon Master is D&D oriented.

The content is different as well, it's not duplicated.

Sorry about the extremely delayed response. Apparently my notifications were turned off for new comments on this product so I didn't realize there were new posts! This is along the same lines as my Dungeon Master Toolkits but this one is using the Open Gaming License so I maintain the rights to the content and can distribute it as I please. It contains monsters, one-shots, dungeons, puzzles, and more just like my others and works with D&D 5E.

The "A Problem of Potions" puzzle is currently missing where the Message Revealment Powder is found. As it is now, this puzzle is unsolvable, for the last note cannot be revealed.

Hey Erick, sorry about the extreme delay getting back to you. I had my notifications off on accident for this and didn't realize anyone had commented! The Message Revealment Powder is on the list of items that the party can craft by combining other ingredients. If you look on the list you will find - Message Revealment Powder - Crushed Dragon Turtle Shell + Sand of the Sphinx + Black Ink. Hopefully that helps!

I'm currently reading through the extended bestiary and it all seems really cool, but I was wondering why Flame Hydras are neutral good. Seems like something that just wants to cause destruction wouldn't be any kind of good alignment :)

Oh yep, that one is a typo on my part. Sorry about that! It should share the Unaligned property of other hydras!

In the tower of trials one shot there's a mention on level two that they need to do the 'Grand Expanse' puzzle but I don't see it listed. Should this be called a different puzzle or is something missing?

The "Grand Expanse" puzzle had its name updated to "A Stone's Throw Away" and I failed to update the reference to it in the dungeon initially. If you download the newest version of the PDF it has the correct name in place for the Tower of Trials now. Sorry about the confusion.

Hey, your Section 15 for the OGL seems to be incomplete. There's no line for the SRD, or for the book itself. If I want to use the open content from this work, would the following be okay as a Section 15 entry?

Also, I noticed an issue that might cause some problems for you. Bullywugs aren't Open Game Content.

They're not WotC Product Identity, so you might be fine, but if you want to be on the safe side you might want to change them to Frogfolk to avoid stepping on WotC copyrights.

The entry for the book itself and its details for use are on the first page of the document.

I wasn't aware it needed to be copied into Section 15 of the OGL document as well. The format I used was a sample used by others. I didn't think the SRD needed to be explicitly referenced with the rest of the OGL text fully written. If that is something that needs to be added I can certainly update my documents.

In the OGL I see "beholder,gauth,carrion crawler, tanar’ri, baatezu,displacer beast, githyanki, githzerai, mind flayer, illithid, umber hulk, yuan-ti," as the list of restricted creatures for 5th Edition. Is Bullywug listed somewhere else? Because that is the only list of creatures I could identify as far as creature restrictions.

Thanks for the advice btw.

The SRD needs to be referenced in the Section 15 if you're using any Open Game Content from it, which is basically true by default if you're making new content for 5e.

The bullywug is in the same grey area that monsters like the slaadi or rilmani are. They're not part of the short list of restricted monsters, but they've also never been made Open Game Content. What this means is that the only rules applying to their use are regular copyright and fair use law - and it tends to be safer to avoid potential copyright violations in general.

Hm, well I will certainly update section 15.

I guess I will have to go try to find a more comprehensive list of monsters somewhere. Seems strange that they would not include all of those monsters in the document. Thanks for the info.

This page (http://www.dragonsfoot.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=26955) has a pretty good break down of monsters and their OGC/non-OGC status, but it's only for monsters that originated in 1e or before. I ctrl+f'd bullywug, and it appearedd in the non-OGC section.

For some reason, the system would not let me leave a rating in the review subsection, so placing it here instead.

I have only gotten to skim through this so far, but am absolutely loving this! :D I especially love the Centaur, Maiden of Ice, and Merfolk listings in the bestiary!! :D

I highly recommend this toolkit and if I were able to do so, I would not hesitate to give it a 10 star rating. :)

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.
