This site was a project to make a list of available skills per Dungeon Degenerate character, which then went a bit overboard. It is based on the card CSS renderering work done by Stephan Beal for his excellent Morbad Tools site. The actual content and artwork all belongs to the Dungeon Degenerates creator, Sean Äaberg of of Goblinko. Used with permission. Site by David Waller.

There is a total of 1079 entries in the site. Last updated Sun May 24 2026
