In the ''Dungeons & Dragons'' fantasy role-playing game, the ''deck of many things'' is a powerful magic item. The item comes in the form of a deck of cards, each one causing a distinct effect upon the character who draws it. These effects can be either beneficial or baneful.〔(The Hypertext D20 SRD, Artifacts )〕 ==Publication history== The ''deck of many things'' first appeared in the ''Dungeons & Dragons'' game's first supplement, ''Greyhawk'' (1975). This version of the deck contains 18 cards, corresponding to the ace, king, queen, and jack of each suit (hearts, diamonds, spades, and clubs), and two jokers.〔Gygax, Gary and Robert Kuntz. ''Supplement I: Greyhawk'' (TSR, 1975)〕 The ''deck'' also appears in the original ''Dungeon Master's Guide'' (1979). This version comes in packs of either 13 cards or, more rarely, 22 cards. The 13-card deck contains cards corresponding to the king, queen, and jack of each suit, as well as a joker; the 22-card deck contains the same cards, with the 2 and ace of each deck as well as the trademark joker.〔Gygax, Gary. ''Dungeon Master's Guide'' (TSR, 1979)〕 A 78-card ''tarot deck of many things'' appeared in ''Dragon'' #77 (September 1983),〔Lowrey, Michael J. "Tarot Deck of Many Things" ''Dragon'' #77 (September 1983)〕 and a 22-card ''deck of many things'' appeared in ''Dragon'' #148 (August 1989, illustrated by George Barr). The ''deck'' from the first edition ''Dungeon Master's Guide'' also appeared in the second edition ''Dungeon Master's Guide'' (1989); it also appeared in the ''Encyclopedia Magica'' Vol. 1 (1994) along with a reprint of the ''tarot deck''. The 22-card version of the deck appeared in the 3rd edition and 3.5 edition ''Dungeon Master's Guide'' as well. In 4th Edition, two versions were released: a Paragon-level Implement (Tome) appeared in ''Dungeon'' #177 (April 2010),〔http://www.wizards.com/dnd/Article.aspx?x=dnd/duad/20100422〕 while a Heroic-level Tome was released with the adventure ''Madness at Gardmore Abbey'' (September 2011).〔http://www.wizards.com/dnd/product.aspx?x=dnd/products/dndacc/355930000〕 Both are 22-card versions illustrated by William O'Connor, with several special properties in addition to the regular benefits and drawbacks available by drawing cards from the deck. In 5th Edition, both the 13-card and 22-card decks were introduced as magic items in the ''Dungeon Master's Guide'' (2014). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Deck of many things」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
