Roll a D7 for a malevolence saving throw

When I’m not writing I like to relax by playing D&D with my writer friends — of course we’re playing the Candlekeep Mysteries adventures, which are all about magic books. Sebastien de Castell is one of the players in our game (a roguish warlock, which is a little too close to Sebastien in real life), and he’s just launched his latest book: The Malevolent Seven. The novel is about a bunch of morally ambiguous mages who are reluctantly recruited into defending their world from a bunch of even more troubling mages. Mayhem ensues. Much mayhem.

To help promote the book, I helped Sebastien create some D&D character cards based on the characters in the book. He’s been posting them on his Twitter account, so please check them out and add them to your own campaign if malevolent mages are your kind of thing.

Here’s what he has posted so far:

While you’re at it, check out Sebastien’s other book series — he’s also the author of the Greatcoats and the Spellslinger books, among others. And no, I’m not jealous at all about how much he manages to write and publish….
