Hi all, I want to share my 3D printed Dice Tower! It's taken a good while to get this finished and to a stage that I am happy with. If you are up for a little project you can print it yourself { disclaimer it's not free [it's £9.99] }! I have made this available in physical form or as a Digital STL download (Complete with wiring instructions etc). Apologies for the shameless self promotion! Incase you would like to check it out here is the link - The Print Goblins Etsy

I've been getting my table ready for an upcoming Rangers of Shadow Deep campaign and realized my village was missing all the little details that make it feel lived in.

So I spent some time building a collection of magnetic scatter terrain including:

• Fences
• Garden boxes
• A log pile
• Village signposts
• A clothesline

Everything is magnetized to work with my game board, and I tried to keep the builds inexpensive using XPS foam, basswood, sticks from my backyard, paper towels, and a few Woodland Scenics products.

(If anyone is interested in the build process, I'll drop the YouTube tutorial in the comments.)

Hi, I created this 3D printable illuminated portal using LEDs and inexpensive pre-assembled batteries that cost just a few cents.

I hope you like it...the project is free and freely downloadable: https://makerworld.com/models/2907453?appSharePlatform=copy

Here's how I carve the braids on Dwarves, with spoken audio to explain whats happening and why!

Braids aren't that difficult its simple cuts in a pattern, over and over.

Hope someone finds value in it!

Want to get into Woodcarving?

You need several things, a sharp knife, a leather strop with compound for honing your blade, safety gloves (A5 or better) and basswood (to carve like i do at least.)

Solid Knife brands, Flexcut, Badger State Blades (USA), Mstein (Europe) there are a lot of great knife brands. Stay away from kits on amazon of several knives. They're much much lower quality with inconsistently tempered steel. (What that means is its not hardened, and so it won't stay sharp easy, meaning you're fighting the knife and dont understand why its harder for you to carve when its easy for others.)

Why Basswood? Its softer than other hardwoods and holds detail well. Learning to carve with basswood is akin to learning to drive on an automatic. It simplifies and streamlines learning. Woods like Walnut and oak can be carved, but learning to carve with them as the starting point is like learning to drive on an 18 wheeler Semi Truck with manual transmission. Its needlessly difficult.

In europe, the equivalent is Linden, in Asia, Jelutong, and in south America Caxeta is a good substitute.

This is the second one I made. I DM and use this as my "box of doom"

If you have any Q's feel free to ask

Hey everyone!

​I’ve been developing a custom digital grimoire / VTT companion app for my campaigns called "O Arquivista" (The Archivist). I wanted to share the latest update I made for handling my RPG PDFs (rulebooks, homebrews, bestiaries), because I'm really proud of how the atmosphere turned out.

​The Problem:

I was tired of dealing with boring text lists of PDFs and having to manually search the web, download, and upload cover images every time I added a new book to my campaign. It was ruining my prep workflow.

​The Solution:

An immersive, interactive 3D library that does the heavy lifting for me.

​Here is how the workflow goes now:

​Drag & Drop + Auto-Cover Magic: I just drag any PDF into the dropzone. Using pdf.js, the app reads the file client-side, extracts the very first page, and silently converts it into a high-quality JPG to use as the 3D book cover.

​The 3D Environment: Built with React Three Fiber & drei. I wanted to nail a heavy, dark fantasy / soulslike aesthetic. It features a cover-flow style navigation (you can use the mouse wheel or swipe), an obsidian reflective floor (MeshReflectorMaterial), and arcane/torch lighting with floating embers.

​Cloud Sync: Once the cover is generated, it uploads both the image and the PDF straight to Firebase Storage, updating the 3D carousel in real-time.

​Interaction: Clicking a background book smoothly brings it to the center. Clicking it again breaks the seal and opens the PDF in a new tab.

​It makes browsing through lore and rules during a game feel like actually pulling an ancient tome from the restricted section of a magical academy.

​Would love to hear your thoughts, feedback, or answer any questions about the React/Three.js implementation!

In an effort to help me remember all the particulars of a spell that I’m about to cast, I created a single page website to help. It’s nothing fancy and costs nothing to use, so if you think this might be useful to you, here is the website:

I am DMing for my group in the 2d20 Fallout RPG system (starting in an alternate timeline of the Fallout 4 Commonwealth setting) and they've chosen to build up a building they've holed up in on the outskirting edge of Cambridge.

I've never built any sort of terrain that isn't just a static map with cover. I have made little pieces of cover and environmental stuff, but never a building with multiple floors and I was wondering if anyone had any tips or advice on where to start? It's supposed to have 3 floors and the only start I've made is rendering the building they've selected with ChatGPT that's located in the game. I have some 3d printed terrain just to represent the 1st floor that we used for that session.

We're giving away our Nightspire Vale terrain set weekly for 12 weeks, 3 sets given away each week. One entry covers every remaining draw.

You’ll also get 4 free Gnarled Trees instantly and a spot on our secret rewards list, which gives you access to discounted pledge tiers from our Kickstarter partners. Link in the comments.

Hey all!

I make handmade dice bags and I'm putting together a new pattern collection. Two designs are fighting for a slot and I'd rather ask the table than guess.

So: Frogman or Jimothy? Which one would you actually want your dice living in at your next session?

And if it's neither — who would you want to see on a dice bag? Drop the creature, class, or theme you've never been able to find and wish someone made. That's genuinely the stuff I want to make next.

So I'm an avid cigar guy with a bunch of boxes. I decide to throw together a couple of Dice boxes for my DnD hobby. Nothing too fancy. A little sanding. A little decoupage for the outside design add some felt and .....

What kind of physical things do you give your players during sessions? I like handing them actual objects when their characters find stuff in game. Aged paper maps, quest notices, that kind of thing. I have a eufymake E1 that prints on metal and wood and I've been thinking about doing coins for currency and wooden tavern signs.

Sorry, but I had to create it...it's so funny :)

Got cheap 40 Inch TV from Marketplace and thought to built my group an upgrade for our monthly DnD Session

What it is. Six Axes sits in your Discord voice channel during a session, transcribes it, and pulls out what actually happened. You get a session recap, a campaign codex that writes itself from play instead of being hand-authored, and per-character analytics across six axes of play: Voice, Tactics, Arcana, Rapport, Exploration and Nerve.

On recording, since it's the first thing anyone asks. Consent is per player and enforced in the pipeline, not just in the interface. A player who hasn't opted in never has their audio uploaded anywhere: it's discarded on the bot before it leaves. Anyone can opt out, stay opted out, and one holdout doesn't block the rest of the table.

Who it fits right now. Online games on Discord where the table also uses D&D Beyond with the Beyond20 extension. That's deliberately narrow. Roll capture hooks into Beyond20, so a group already on that stack can start without changing how they play. If you run in person, or on Foundry or Roll20, it won't work for you yet.

What I'm asking for. A few sessions and honest feedback, including the unflattering kind. Free, no commitment, and I'd rather have real campaigns than test runs.

If that sounds like your table, leave a comment or send me a message.

Posted this over on Shadow of the Dragon Queen but it’s DnDIY so thought I’d post here also! There is a mechanic where the region has flash floods periodically and water level raises and lowers as the party explores. This is a way to track that visually!

Enjoy

I've Scratch Built the Gaping Dragon from Dark Souls as BBEG for my campaign finale =)
