This video is FANTASTIC! Color coded dice. Brilliant!
Thank you so much! The whole kit worked really well and I'm looking forward to the next convention to try it out again :D
Dude thanks so much for this stuff. I'm a 100% solo player and just finding ICRPG has been eye opening. All of your videos on the topic have been amazing as well, so thank you very much!!!
My pleasure! I'm glad you're enjoying them and finding them useful! I'm no expert in solo games, but I was looking into it more from your last comment and I know Matt Slaton has done some cool stuff here: ruclips.net/video/-nOiqDvtWfo/видео.html. I also heard that people have had luck with Ironsworn, but I've never looked into that. Hopefully those help as well, and if you're ever interested in playing in a group game, just let me know!
@@KanesKiln I just got my ICRPG master edition hardbook but, there are not index card for maps so I made my own I simply buy Index Cards and printed cut out and glue them.
This is great for a starting ICRPG GM to build out a base kit. Thank you.
Absolutely! This case was a great tool when I ran convention games this year and I'm actually in the process of making another one for this year's set of games. But if you want a setup for inspiration that covers all the basic, check out the inspiration for this case: forums.runehammer.online/t/dungeon-in-a-suitcase-for-the-gm-on-the-go-and-everyone-else/2909
Holy cow! That is amazing. If I played in person games I would 100% try my hand at this. Love it, love it, love it!
You totally should!
This is seriously awesome! So inspiring. Gotta get me this kind of setup.
Really great advice! Absolutely loved your kit and I loved your character art packet idea for pre-gens, very smooth!
Thank you! It all worked exceptionally well at the con to run multiple games and get players who had never played ICRPG right into the game and rolling dice.
*opens the case*
- We happy?
- Yeah, we happy
Thanks for the shout out mate. That is one tight setup! Many tips there:)
Nice step with the colour accessibility! Reducing the barriers to play.
Good luck!
Thanks! I'm really hopeful that this is going to be a good set up for some jammed back days playing ICRPG!
Thank you for show that, i must do same thing with my ICRPG stuff. I like to choose character by look and not about the number on the sheet. Good one, with color dice.
Thank you! Putting this together was a really fun project and there are so many ways you can customize it. I really enjoyed having my players pick by the art rather than the numbers. Made things go so much faster!
@@KanesKiln hello can you point me to where i can find the character art packs that your are using?
@@ernesto906 Sure! So the fantasy characters came from HEROES OF THE HAMMER by Runehammer Games. Here's the link: www.drivethrurpg.com/product/236159/Heroes-of-the-Hammer
Then the Sci Fi Characters came from the 2e Quickstart. I pulled them directly from the quickstart and compiled them into a print-n-play sheet here: forums.runehammer.online/t/printable-minis-for-the-2e-quickstart/5165/2
If you have any other questions, let me know! Hope that helps :D
4:00 I love the idea of giving character art for new players to chose from, instead of stats sheets! Emphasizes RP, and, even as an experienced 5e player, it's easy for me to experience info overload in new situations.
It really helps. They sit down and get to pick just by the art. Then I hand them their specific character sheet so they can look at it as I explain the rules. Really slick way of handling that new table at a convention.
@@KanesKiln Reminds me of the Red Dragon Inn board game, and the card word games Sparkle Kitty and Sparkle Kitty Knights (the Knights one is rated for adults).
You good sir, are a genius 👏! Thank you for sharing this, you must follow a lot of the same people I follow and admire!
Your content is excellent, keep it coming! Can't get enough!
Thank you and can do! Just want to keep sharing resources for ICRPG and saying how awesome it is.
@@KanesKiln ICRPG is a hidden gem for sure!
Looks great! Definitely taking a couple of these ideas for a tight GM kit.
Thanks and please do! Im sure I could distill this down much tigher if I wasnt prepping for six specific games and wanted a more general kit, but it is what it is haha. Would love to see how you'd put your kit together.
Love the professional looking box and setup. Very slick. Thank you for the inspiration. Definitely beats a plastic tub and lid. ha! Thank you for sharing with us.
Thanks! I know a lot of GM's go for a minimalist approach when it comes to a kit, but having a nice big case of supplies to run games just feels awesome haha
Character art pack is wonderful and great organization of material. Perfect example of keeping it simple for players and GM!
Thanks! It worked really well at the convention and I've already been thinking about what I'll do next year. Maybe some Xeno Dead Zone or Ghost Mountain?
@@KanesKiln You may have seen Broken Terrain uploads, he has a simple idea for folding terrain in a video (Garbage into terrain) making it an easy 3D pieces to use. Seems like an option if you want to go that direction. Cheers! ruclips.net/video/ef0ocZNRQAg/видео.html
Can confirm. This setup is awesome as a player.
Haha thanks! That Red Sword game is still one of my all time favorite games! Loved it so much!
Fantastic!
You can scale all of that into a binder in a sling pack.
wow this is great!
Awesome walk-through of what looks like a very useful kit!
I certainly hope it proves useful haha!
I have a kit in an old brief case, but very interesting and useful to see yours. Subbed.
Thanks! Yeah, a DM kit is so fun to see but always adapting and changing.
Dig the set up!!! Definitely inspired to start trying to play in person again! Don't get me wrong, I enjoy playing online because at least I get to play but, there's just something about getting together in person.
And on a side note if you are need of players for testing out anything let me know! I would be more than down!!
For sure! I'm primarily an online player, but I feel the same way about playing person, so Im looking forward to this opportunity.
And once this convention is over, I'm planning on putting together a few more games out on the Runehammer Forums, so keep an eye out there and feel free to jump in a game!
OMG! Every bit of it is shocking! In a good way, of course!
Any chance you share the maps and pregens too? I would totally use them with my local online/offline groups!
Thanks, but I'll need to review what I have to see what I can share when it comes to the maps and pregens. The Last Flight map were tiles from Xeno Dead Zone which is available on DriveThruRPG or the Runehammer Patreon. The Doomvault maps were just cards from the Index Card Volumes, also available on DriveThruRPG. Then the Orvald's Tower maps were all made from 2 Minute Table Top assets and so I'd have to make sure if I can share those. Then the pregens, I pull stuff from Heroes of the Hammer and the ICRPG books so I'd need to verify if those are good to share too, en masse. They are fairly easy to put together and could be customized for your own games if you weren't playing one of these three adventures.
@@KanesKiln Of course, understandable, thank you! I've used cyberpunk maps and items from 2minutetabletop, but I've only come across much smaller ones from towers. I'm far from having enough practice to make such nice big, proportioned maps on my own.
I was struck by the sophistication of your collection based on the video, hence the idea that it would be particularly useful as such a complex unit! :-)
Got it. I think I figured out what I can share. Ping me on the Runehammer Forums and we can chat. Thanks!
@@KanesKiln Wonderful! Thanks!
Mono make dice? The ones with the skull those are cool where did you get em?
Also I love this idea I'm definitely gonna copy this.
Do it! I love having a consolidated kit I can pick up and go with. Plus it makes me really consider what's essential.
As for the dice, those were made by a creator named monomakes. Check out his stuff on instagram and reach out if you want a set for your own. They are awesome! instagram.com/_monomakes_/?hl=en
Blasphemy! You do not use Monster A.I. for your monsters! XP Seriously though this is an awesome toolkit! Do you know where I can get that suitcase and how much it cost?
I'll still debating about using my Monster AI for the Avenger that I've already written up, but we'll see! As for the suitcase, I just picked it up from my local Harbor Freight. Their websites has it listed for a little over $30 dollars (www.harborfreight.com/18-in-x-6-in-x-13-in-black-aluminum-case-69318.html) but I'm pretty sure I got it on sale. It's been a couple years since I actually bought it haha.
Love it! Great kit for when you need to throw down and deliver some ICRPG. Any chance you could share your abridged character sheet? Agree it perfect for one shots!
It definitely was nice and made it really easy for me :D I just shared the character sheets on the Runehammer Forums, so check it out here: forums.runehammer.online/t/simplified-convention-character-half-sheets/6109?u=kanedriscol
You'll also find other custom character sheets and other fun stuff on the forums with some searching.
@@KanesKiln Awesomesauce!
This is brilliant!
Thank you! Glad you liked it :D
Love it. Thank you for this. Where do I get the adventure so I can print the sheets out too?
Last Flight and Doomvault both came from ICRPG CORE and Orvald's Tower came from the ICRPG MAGIC book. Both of those are still available on DrivethruRPG (they are older additions but still very much useable). But they're also available on the Runehammer Patreon for $1. Hankerin compiled all of the adventures from all the different books and patreon posts into an Adventure Pack, so it was me I'd jump over there and get access to that, plus a ton of other cool stuff shared with the Shield Wall.

Very cool.
Thanks!
Súper cool
Love it :)
Glad you like it!
Wait, four characters from six classes and really simple stats … is each one of the characters carrying an ORB by chance? 😁
Y'know, it's really easy to get a basic set of dice from any number of brands on e.g. Amazon … but something we really could benefit from as a gaming hobby is ready made multicolor dice. Koplow has such a set in its catalog, but nobody seems to carry it and it's just 7 dice. You need about twice that number to have a "basic set of dice" for efficient low-level play.
Such a basic set needs to be _common_ ideally standardized, and ideally every player should have a set (DM's maybe a couple of sets) so that new players can literally just sit down and borrow them to play, having no background. Ideally Koplow and Chessex and perhaps other brands would make the same colorway "basic set". Unrealistically, the dollar store dice should be in that colorway as well … for the price you're only getting 7 dice, but grab 4 sets and for $5 you have all the dice you need* for your first several levels.
* Yes, we know you actually need crates and crates full of dice.
I'm not saying that's how dice should be done from now on, just that a starter set of predictable color dice should be the default until you start picking up bags of holding and sets that match your personality.
My fiancée loves that you set out character images. She doesn't play, doesn't know if she wants to play, and would feel overwhelmed by choices and stats to start. "I want that one," she can do.
Not sure I caught the ORB reference but I do agree with the color coded dice set. I didn't end up needed them at this particular convention, but whenever I've played with some of my family, having the colored dice has really helped because they don't play as often. Really simple to implement at the home table.
And glad your fiancée likes the image idea! I found it worked really well. The image helps draw people's interest in and then I can explain specific mechanics that apply to them instead of all the mechanics and hope they remember. Really recommend!
@@KanesKiln Final Fantasy 1, the one that was actually kind of D&D inspired, had four Light Warriors chosen from six classes… A fighter, a thief (who can't steal lol), a black-belt, and black/white/red mages.
White mages are basically clerics (no religion in NES-era Nintendo games!) Black mages are the arcane magic users, Moldvay-style, so they die if you look at them cross-eyed. Red mages are … 2/3 of 5e characters. 😉 Look, it uses swords, wears armor, casts both arcane and divine spells … but not all of any of the above for the sake of game balance. Unlike 5e players who've got all of that and darkvision too! 😝
(I think my inner grognard is showing just a little bit…)
So: How do we go about getting the dice companies to start selling a "basic set" of color coded dice in a given quantity? Koplow already makes them, but needs to put more things in a given set. D&D players and polyhedral dice are a side gig for them, though. Chessex are the ones we really gotta win over.
And what is a realistic "basic set" exactly? 4d6 is obvious and we've got d% in the typical set of 7… We need a second d4 I think …
I don't get what that world tracker thing is used for.
In the Orvalds Tower adventure, the whole session is played over 15 rounds. If the party doesnt make it out of the tower before than, they will be destroyed along with the entire tower. Race against the clock kind of thing
@@KanesKiln And how do you apply it to your general Dnd sessions?
@@RainMakeR_Workshop World timers depend on the session. Some adventurers don't have them some do. In essence, it's just a countdown to a particular event that's bigger than a normal Timer.
@@KanesKiln ash, so it’s kinda like a “ignore my plot and something bad that you could have stopped will happen” device for keeping players on track?
@@RainMakeR_Workshop It could be definitely! Timers are a big part of ICRPG and it does help keep things on track and build tension. Runehammer (creator of ICRPG) has a video on timers if you're curious ruclips.net/video/HcfieLbrQAc/видео.html
Really good questions by the way!
