With Black Friday and Cyber Monday coming up, there’s no end to the deals and steals you’ll find at this time of year. There’s no better time to finish off your Christmas lists.
If you’re looking for the perfect gift for the D&D players in your life, I’ve found five affordable items that your player will love. And with the sales of the season right around the corner, there’s no telling how much you might save on these priceless gifts!
Acererak’s Treasure Dice Pack
There’s no such thing as too many dice! Every D&D player always needs more dice, at all times, every day of the year. It’s a rite of passage for the game.
The holidays are a great excuse to send some more dice their way. With Acererak’s Treasure Dice Pack, you’re giving them a mystery dice set, token, and dice bag in each pack you buy.
Each pack has the chance to reveal common, uncommon, rare, or legendary dice sets. The odds are in favor of common, uncommon, and rare, but legendary has odds of 1:100. For a dice pack that’s guaranteed a value of $20 or higher and sells for 19.99, I’d take those odds!
The fun is in the mystery! It’s well worth the $20 to discover a new dice set you’ll love, especially when most dice sets alone are worth $15—and this one comes with a mystery token and dice bag!
Plus, the dice sets are incredibly detailed. The set I’ve received so far are Maple Leaf, Watermelon, Demonic, and Mermaid. The Maple Leaf set literally has tiny maple leaves encased in the dice. It’s a nice touch!
The 18 different tokens are exclusive to the packs, making them an automatic collectible for any D&D player. They’re made of real metal alloys, so they’re surprisingly heavy in your hand. So far, I’ve gotten Bardic Inspiration, Superiority, and Action Surge.
Each pack is a fun little surprise for your D&D player. You never know what you might discover; maybe it’ll be your new favorite dice set!
D&D Spellbook Cards
Everyone was a new player once. During that first session, you had no idea what you were doing, of course. You felt like you were running around like a headless chicken.
Let me ask you this: how much worse did spells complicate things?
I’m sure it was a heck of a time trying to keep track of which spells your character had and what they did amid the chaos of learning D&D for the first time.
Well, you’re going to kick yourself for not having spell cards that fateful day you played your first campaign.
Spellbook cards are durable cards specific to each D&D class that describe individual spells, their usage, and their effects. They also have cards for magic items, races, and monsters.
This is super useful for new players, but it’s also a crucial time saver (and headache saver) for DMs and veteran players, especially when you toss new players into the chaos. It keeps all your spells, magic items, and monsters in one convenient place.
Friend or family that’s new to D&D? Choose spell cards specific to their class to help them learn their character’s abilities without sacrificing the pace of the game.
Yeah, that’s right. No more looking through a hefty word document, deciphering your friend’s bad handwriting, or performing Olympic-level mental gymnastics trying to keep all your facts straight.
The best part? Spell cards are super affordable. They’re only around $15-25 per pack, and you can find a large, customizable pack for around $100 if you’re buying for several classes.
So, stop shuffling papers, crying over bad wifi, and lamenting over forgotten information. Just grab a pack of spell cards and enjoy the campaign!
Game Lair
If you’re a DM, you know the struggle.
Cards? Everywhere.
Dice? Under the couch.
Minis? All over the floor.
Players forgetting everything but their coffee? UGH.
Don’t even get me STARTED on notepads and props. I lost track of them years ago. I’m still looking for them…
It’s a miracle I still have my pen.
I finally found a way to keep it all straight.
Are you ready for this?
It’s called the Game Lair, AKA the Savior of DMs. It might be worshiped somewhere. Probably by the kuo-toh.
The Game Lair has two small tray pockets, two large tray pockets, and an entire double sleeve for holding as many spell cards as you can get your hands on, and a thin tray for pens and notepads.
The top of the Game Lair can be removed and converted into a dice tray. Each corner has magnets set up to snap together and become an extra-large dice tray. No more dice on the floor!
I’m not exaggerating when I say the Game Lair is currently holding six sets of spell cards, five sets of dice, four minis, all of my ability tokens, and…I still have room. Everywhere. As in, every pocket still has space.
Is that crazy or what?
If you’re losing your mind over DM necessities, save yourself the struggle and get the Game Lair. I promise, it’s worth it. It holds itself together by magnets. Nothing falls out, ever.
Dungeon Alchemist AI Map Generator
This is my all-time favorite map tool.
Do you have any idea how annoying it was to sift through subscription service after subscription service? I’ll give you a hint: annoying.
I didn’t want a subscription service.
I just wanted a map!
At long last, my search has ended. I found the one. The one that doesn’t require a subscription. It’s a one-time purchase. That’s it. One time.
And the best part?
It AI generates almost everything on the map.
The Dungeon Alchemist AI Map Generator runs through Steam, a common gaming platform that’s secure and small enough to run on almost any computer. It doesn’t take up a ton of space, even when you build a lot of maps.
The AI system autogenerates rooms to build out battle maps of castles, towns, taverns, caves, dungeons, etc. Then, you can go in and customize any of the furniture with any of their thousands of options.
Because of the AI built into the map generator, you can make maps in a matter of minutes. You can make 10 maps in about twenty minutes if you’re fast. Put that extra time into building more immersive campaign storylines instead!
You can print the map out on virtually any paper size, or you can keep it digital and send it to other players for viewing.
Normally, it’s a one-time purchase of 44.99, but recently, it went on sale for 35.99. Now is the best time to gift it to the D&D player in your life!
Just saying, this link isn’t an affiliate link. I’m promoting this product purely because I love it from the bottom of my heart. It’s worth checking out, and it’s even more worth the purchase.
Adventurer’s Paint Set
Minis are a great way to visualize your character in D&D. It allows you time to process your character and get in tune with them on a deeper level.
The only problem?
THERE’S TOO MANY FREAKING PAINTS!
With games like Warhammer out there flooding the market with complicated paint sets (their mini’s paint determines certain abilities), it’s easy to get lost as a beginner.
Thank goodness Wizards of the Coast, the makers of D&D, came out with their own mini sets.
The Adventurer’s Paint Set is specific to character minis, and it’s meant for beginners. It comes with 10 acrylic paint colors, a paintbrush, and painting instructions.
This type of paint is durable, meaning your character can literally take a beating without losing their true colors.
Terrified by the vast sea of the mini hobby? Save yourself the existential fear of searching through thousands of paint and mini listings and get this beginner’s set instead.
By getting this paint set, you’ll save yourself the headache of going down the rabbit hole searching for the right paint colors and styles for a D&D character mini. It also comes with the right paintbrush, so no need to go digging through the internet for that, either.
You’re supposed to dig with a shovel. Not a paintbrush.
It’s 24.58 for the set. That’s it. Ship it to yourself once, and you’ll never have to do it again.
Unless you get obsessed with minis, that is. At that point, going down the rabbit hole is a rite of passage.
