Terrible Tombs
Publisher: Dungeon Masters Guild
Dangerous books, poorly advised experiments, and catastrophically annotated scrolls.
Terrible Tombs is a collection of magical tomes, each presented as a fully realised in-world item with its own rules, voice, and consequences.
Within these pages, you will find books that:
- Create objects from paper constructs
- Prepare magical food with unpredictable side effects
- Open portals to other planes
- Alter the body, mind, or identity of the reader
- Record, rewrite, or react to those who study them
Each entry includes:
- A distinct in-world book with flavour and narrative tone
- Full mechanical rules for use in play
- Additional quirks, risks, or escalating effects
Some books are useful.
Some are unreliable.
Some should not be opened.
From annotated cookbooks and children’s manuals to cursed volumes that reshape the reader, these tomes offer tools, complications, and story hooks that can be introduced into any campaign.
