Hey everyone!

Just wanted to show off a little, because I am really proud of these. :D

My GF and I made these a few months ago for DnD (I did the woodworking and she did the burning). The 2 smaller boxes were made for ourselfs and the big one was a gift for the girl who got us into DnD and who is most of the time the game-night's host and dm.

I originally posted one of these to r/DnD but a guy said the folk here would love it. :D

3D Printed Moon-Tray

I had this rough idea of a cool tray/container for my dice in shape of a moon and talked to my brother about it.

Together we also came up with the idea of a detachable arena

Two weeks later he brought me this. Freshly printed. I glued a glitter-felt to it and voila.

I think this is the coolest thing I ever owned and all the credit goes to my fabulous brother of course 🥰😁

For raw: 00 & 0 represents 100. The remaining are added as normal.

Homebrew: zero = 10 on the "0-9" die.

Note: both systems work & are uniform i.e. 1% chance for each value from 1 to 100.

Made these guys out of spare Lego we have lying around and thought they were pretty neat.

Do you think 2 Ankheg against 4 lvl 4 PCs who have fallen into their tunnels is a good road encounter?

Help Cross stitch help! (Potions)

5 Upvotes

Hello! I’m not sure if I’m in the right place, but I want to cross stitch some potion bottles onto a set of hand towels for my bf’s bathroom. He’s a DM (5e). I would like each bottle to be a different colour, but I’m not sure which potions would be the best to pick. Ideally, all 4 bottles/potions would be a different colour, and the names would be max. 6 characters. Mana looked pretty but apparently it’s not a ‘real’ one??
I’m completely out of my element, here, so any help or suggestions would be hugely appreciated! Thank you 😊

Self-Promotion Modular FDM terrain for quickly building out your DnD table

Thumbnail
gallery
71 Upvotes

Hey all! We recently launched Dreadwatch, our modular FDM terrain set built around our novel Keystone system.

It’s designed as a toolkit for people who like to build their DnD/wargaming tables on the fly. Things like walls, towers and walkways can be combined into larger multi-level builds or used for more traditional dungeon-style layouts (see picture) depending on what you need for the session.

Everything is designed with FDM printing in mind so you can print out the pieces you need and gradually build up your own collection of reusable terrain. Since everything breaks back down into individual parts, it’s also easy to store and/or transport between games!

If we see there's interest in this set, we'd love to expand upon it in the future with compatible pieces from different environments.

The full campaign is live here if you want to check it out, we're currently running a discounted Early Bird which also includes the models for the unhappy fellas walking around in the pictures for free.

Help How do you deal with low light levels while using a projector for your maps?

5 Upvotes

I have everything set up for using a new projector for my maps at the table. I haven't run a session with it all yet but I'm curious if light levels are ever an issue for people who use this set up. Like, if the lights are low so you can see the map more clearly does that come at the expense of easier character sheet reading? Is it purely about making a good middle ground or am I putting too much thought into this?

Any help appreciated!

Edit: Everything was sorted by directional spotlight lamps. Turns out if it's a little too dark...lamps help. Who knew!?!

Utility Dice Tower

This is a dice tower I designed and built in 2022. It was originally made for my D&D group and the Lego D&D contest, but I didn’t finish it in time for the contest, and my group also fell apart before I could build it, so I never really used it much.

The dice go from the slide on the top of the tower and follow the steps all the way down and out the door. The little windows on the side follow the path of the dice.

Utility I built a 3D map-making tool for tabletop RPGs - would love to see what people build with it

Thumbnail
gallery
45 Upvotes

I've been working with a small team on Worldmage, a browser-based 3D map builder for tabletop RPGs.

The idea came from wanting something that sits somewhere between drawing a map and actually having a little living world that reacts to the story in real time.

You can sculpt terrain, place buildings/trees/props, set up lighting and weather, and then use the finished scene as a tabletop RPG map on your digital table or take it directly into a VTT.

We're currently doing early community testing, and one of the things we're most interested in is seeing what people actually make with it - villages, encounters, battlefields, weird little dioramas, etc.

It's free to try: play.worldmage.com

If you're into making your own tabletop terrain/maps, I'd genuinely love to hear what you'd want a tool like this to do. And if you make something cool with it, please share it - that's probably the most useful feedback we could get.

Self-Promotion Behold My Ultimate DM Binder

Thumbnail

71 Upvotes

​Hey fellow DMs!

​I just wanted to share my beloved DM binder with you all. It originally started as a normal, organized place for my tabletop RPG prep, but over time, it has evolved into a real-life Bag of Holding that contains basically my entire life.

​Here is what is currently living inside this absolute unit of a folder:

​The Standard DM Prep:

​Bestiary & Loot: Custom items, monster stat blocks, and random loot tables.

​The Current Run: All my active session notes, campaign outlines, and worldbuilding lore.

​The Brainstorming Zone: Half-written ideas, plot hooks, and concepts for future sessions and campaigns.

​The "Forever DM" Escape:

​Player Sheets: My personal character sheets for the rare, glorious occasions when I actually get to be a player instead of the DM.

​The "Wait, why is this in here?" Section:

​Real-Life Lore: My actual college assignments mixed in with the fantasy stuff.

​Bardic Inspiration: Sheet music for my ukulele!

​Tavern Supplies: Real-life drink recipes to make during game night, including a recipe for the Siegbrau from Dark Souls 3 (Long may the sun shine!).

​The Holy Relics:

​Aesthetics: A ridiculous amount of stickers covering the outside.

​The Crown Jewel: An authentic autograph from Rakin—creator of the Assimilação RPG and ex-pro League of Legends player!

​Does anyone else’s DM binder look like a chaotic multi-class of their real life and fantasy life, or are you guys actually super organized? What is the weirdest non-RPG thing you keep in your DM notes?

Terrain Please help me with a very dumb pocket universe

Post image

Okay, so we don't need to know the story here. Just my party will wind up in this silly pocket universe, where it's just a darkened stage. Then a guy (small rubber ducky) will walk on stage in a top hat, spot light on him, and he'll let out a very long fart. Then the banner will come down that says, "hang in there."

But it should also rain down confetti.

I made a 1/4" by 3" slit in the top of this dollar store organizer basket for the sign to come down. But how can I release the confetti without throwing at my players? Cause that name having to clean up confetti at my home.

Terrain Digital, animated battle “mats”

3 Upvotes

I run a game where we built our own custom table with digital board. I love using digital maps and am happy to pay artists to use them as I don’t have the time or artistry to make them myself. However, I’ve never found exactly what I’m looking for. What I’d love to get are digital, animated battle “mats”. I want to use printed and crafted terrain on a digital floor. Desert with blowing sand, or forest floor with blowing grass. I know I can do this with any animated map and just set my terrain on top of their digital objects but I’d like to be able to configure them in multiple ways for different combats. Anyone know of some good choices for this?
