  • Here are some easy props to level up your D&D night! There's something magical about your DM reaching behind their screen and pulling out an actual physical thing. Bringing props into your Dungeons and Dragons game can really be fun for your players. These props can be great for dnd 5e, or any TTRPG!

      You can also dab or soak in coffee or tea, then bake in the oven at a low temperature to dry them out. It will give a cool texture as the paper wrinkles and warps from being dried rapidly.

      Soak the tea bag in rubbing alcohol. It dries faster and cancels the telltale smell of tea.

    Love the potion idea. Will be using that.
    In my campaign I had a secret order, that has a talisman of a unicorn head made of amethyst. So I printer off a model that matched, made a mold and made a resin version of the talisman using colored inks and gels, etc, and handed it to my players. They had to find a member of the order on some city docks and i had them RP trying to covertly flash this talisman at npcs until they found the right one. 😂

    Another take for the item cards.
    I use tcg clear sleeves instead of laminating. It saves time, cards can be re done if there is an error and Most importantly, if there is a cursed item I can print card and back seperately and have a "good" side to gove to Players and a "real" side with the curse to be swapped around

    Little something to boost those potion vials. A bit of red tinted resin in the bottom will both make them sit in the holder a bit better and offer them a bit more weight. Doing so also fills a bit of the visual space when they are sitting on the table.
