I went down the rabbit hole of buy a lot of 3D terrain, Dwarven Forge, Warlock tiles, and off brands. I have to say now after many years that I have used them a lot. Looking back I should have just crafted my own and would have been a lot cheaper and I didn't need as much as I bought. Also I literally have 100s of miniatures and Skinny Minis. My obsession took control of me. I did get into painting minis and that is very calming and I also make terrain now.
Same 😂
Same!
The condition rings needed to be S tier
I have found condition rings to be a genuine necessity when I play IRL (not as much on VTT as many have their own marking system for me to use).
I love a good dice tower. The dice make satisfying clonking noises as they fall through them, it feels like they’re well rolled, and it helps contain the dice as you roll them. Unnecessary, but nice.
I have spent thousands on all of that stuff. If you are the person who is going to spend a lot of money on miniatures and terrain, don't, just buy a 3d printer, you will save yourself a fortune in the long run. Minis, terrain, combat risers, trees, furniture, buildings, the files are all out there (except draconians, apparently), free, and it is easy and fun. I have printed over 100 minis in the last month, I still have a little bit of resin in the £17 bottle I opened in July. slaad, slaad tadpoles, treants, monks, manticores and many, many more.
one thing that is not on the list, is numbered or alphabetical base rings, to help keep track of which un-named, grunt 0rc, goblin, bandit etc. is which. You can print them too.
Don't spend a lot of money on single sets of dice, a few three quid resin sets will be good enough, unless what you really want to do is test them, they are balanced to better than 99%.
The rest is just fluff, you don't need anything branded or expensive, just whatever suits you.
A tailor’s tape measure is fantastic for odd measurements on the fly, especially if you do theatre-of-the-mind
That's what I use. Very useful and compact.
A bit niche but I bought a tv to play 3D maps on. Best financial decision ever. A 3D printer also can be worthwhile
The word for a series of a bunch of different stories is anthology :) Glad to see a person actually review that bag, I've been considering getting one.
17:23 As a D&D like creator, I liked the smoke machine mention. Haha
every video he says "I'm probably live right now" and every video I check and our times do not align
14:10 Love Death and Robots!!! I love that programme. Also, great vid! Defo subbing.
What is your monthly budget for D&D? I have bought dice sets from 98 cents a set to maybe $12 but that is a rare buy. The potion dice is a gift set. We use soda bottle rings for condtions. But some of my gamers will bring their rings.
I just Bought three aoe templates this month. 2 3d plastic templates set. 1 similar to the one you shown. Mainly I game with a lot of casuals who need the templates.
I use the Hart System (toolbox) to carry most of D&D gear when I leave the house.
i bought a 40 piece dice sets on amazon for 20$ and condition rings, distance rules, etc from index cards and sharpies. i bought the player's guide and dm guide and i wish i could get my money back cause the 5e SRD core rules are available for free.
The dice alone are hilarious.
Cashier: Just so you know, people have complained these dice are too bouncy
Dice Goblin: I don't mind
Dice Goblin at home: These dice are too bouncy. Time to buy more!
My best advice is to get a nice set of resin dice, and one gemstone d20.
My friend got a smoke machine for our game. We used it one time but had a great time with it
I think you were looking for the word "Anthology" 14:10
I love a nice smelling candle - HOWEVER - my biggest issue with many scented candles is that there is often a component of the scent that sears my sinuses. My wife now has me sniff test them at the store before purchase to make sure she doesn't buy another one that makes me feel like I just snorted chlorine. I'm sure other people have scents that they're either put-off by or have some really bad associations with (smell being so strongly tied with memory) that this is one thing you'd want to check with the play group in advance.
Beyond that I invested in a couple of 3D printers (both a resin & a filament) so I can print minis, monsters, terrain, & props. Plus paints for them. It's definitely an investment in time and money, but being able to print what I want and then make it look how I want is pretty valuable compared to buying them all. There are a ton of models that 3D modelers put out there completely for free, which I think is just fantastic!
A 3D printer is definitely on my list of things to buy!
I really like the AOE templates and such, but I do find that it makes the game too... linear? I enjoy having things be up for a little bit of interpretation & to give the players a chance to react to the spells, rather than a spell just blanket reaching the exact point and hitting anything there. Plus a ruler does the same thing at the end of the day :P
It's interesting to see just how many gadgets have been made for this game, and how little I own myself 😅
journals are S-tier. Any kind of journal. Players and GMs. Knowing what the hell happened last session is so key.
I made my own potion and poison bottles. After trial and error tests my favorite is Uxcell 100ml widemouth plastic bottles and Koplow Games 8mm 6 sided dice. Works no problems. I use red for heals and green and blue for other potion/poison strength or duration.
I bring my condition rings as a player just so I can mark any conditions I put onto creatures. Makes the game easier to keep track of. Especially in PF2 where it’s nothing but conditions, it seems.
When you see the deck of many more things in person it really makes you want to put it in S tier
Get on OfferUp, but a $20 flat screen TV, get on a DnD map program like Infinite realms, and only that way.
Thank you for sharing your content. This gives me great ideas for Christmas. Gonna download twitch later and learn how to use it. See you there, have a good day, and happy adventuring!
Lmao I have the Fanroll silicone dice too and I agree those stinkers bounce like mad 😂
I buy steno pads by the dozen from the office supply store & use a different one for each adventure/campaign. Cheap, portable, and practical.
That Area of Effect template is great. I have one as well. Its made by Guilt Free Games. There are some other knock offs out there from china but there measurements are slightly off. Be sure to get the Guilt Free Games one. They make some other really cool stuff too including the condition markers and some cool bags. It looks like you own the Guild Free Gaming one but linked to the Chinese one in the description. I'd recommend switching that. It is a better product.
I also have potions but they are ones I made and are in bigger bottles which is super nice. There was an online tutorial on how to make them. Then someone took that tutorial and did a kickstarter to sell them but you can make them super cheap on your own. I even added some red resin in there to make it look like a potion.
For the silicon dice, I have a couple sets and I don't mind them. They roll good in a dice tower and if you just roll them into a tray and not drop them they are fine. But Fan Roll makes some amazing dice in general. Their liquid core are my favorite and I use them all the time. They are my favorite dice maker.
Great content ! Would recommend you have a camera facing down at your desk and hands to show products and then another camera for just your face
Conditions rings are cool
Cool! You put it somewhere 🤗 thanks for that!
Pretty sure anything will dice if you THROW THEM AT FULL FORCE! hahahah
man, you make really cool videos..
can't believe you're not at 10x of your current sub count.
thanks for what you do, you really helped me with your videos to be a better dm
bro you started off your video saying the chat wouldn't move much because not that many people were watching. Now I'm bummed that I missed the stream
I was wondering if you were going to mention your dice tray 😂 considering snagging one
You have a good voice and a nice personality, you need to improve your editing skills
Trying to with every video! Thanks for the feedback
Very helpful!
Good Afternoon. Just found your channel. I am guessing you play 5E. I am a 3.5E player/DM. Some of the items would work for me as well. So Thank you.
👍
How did the combat risers get on the list? They weren't discussed!

Came here from UA-cam shorts
The system works!
I read that as tasted and I’m so disappointed…
"I have hundreds of dollars it D&D stuff"... yeah sure... Regards!
I really like your content, but for the love of gawd, PLEASE get a microphone stand or arm. You trying to handle your toys and your mic at the same time is so distracting, I just couldn't go on watching.
You literally THREW that “bouncy” die from the height of your shoulder to ensure it would bounce off your rolling box. By contrast you calmly roll the next one from the hip. It just looks completely biased.
What is with all the cuts? Some of the shots are only a single word before he cuts to the next take. I want to watch this, but four to five jump-cuts per sentence is maddening.😢
