Transparency dungeon map

Draw your dungeon.

Turn over the transparency and fill in the rest.

Turn back the right way and let your players wipe as they explore.

I printed a grid on a transparency, then used a marker on both sides to create a hidden dungeon map. You'll want to glue the back side to white paper for clarity and also so you don't forget which side is which.

Need ideas what to do with 3.5 mm beads

So i ordered some transparent beads for a wizard staff. They turned out to be way too small for that mini, but i did make some nice wands. Thing is, i have like 14000 of the little suckers, and so far i only used this 4. I had an idea that they may also be used for a gem pommel in a sword. Does anyone have any other ideas about what theese can be used for?

We Be Goblins maps/terrain/props

I'm going to be running this soon for new players and want to visual representations of the game. I have generic swamp terrain and and the ship map to refrence the later parts of the adventure but can't find anything for the Licktoad village.

Are there any maps or artwork of the village, Scribbleface's map, and the rusty earbiter? Has anybody made their own terrain or props for those scenes?

I always thought the "Gargantuan size" wasn't big enough so this is my Lore Accurate Terrasque.

Soon to be primed, painted and based. Printed in PLA.

If anyone hasn’t checked out Encounter terrain before he’s great and his pipe cleaner trees are fun and easy to make https://www.instagram.com/encounterterrain?igsh=b3VzdTF0N3R4amp6

D&D Table Build

I thought some of you all might appreciate this. I enjoyed building this and I hope it encourages some others who don't feel qualified to try it.

Link to video is in comments if you are interested in watching the build. It is dedicated to my players.

DIY GM screen as gift

Edit: thank you all for reply and advice! I’ll help him set it up and then let it go if it doesn’t change anything. I was just worried it was lame and maybe he was embarrassed and adamant to admit it 😅😅 but maybe it’s just not his cup of tea. Once again, thanks!

So I am quite new to DnD and was even newer around Christmas. That’s when I gifted my bf DIY screen. He just started GMing at that time and I thought that customised screen that you can put stuff on yourself would be cool and useful. I made it from 4 wooden frames and you can set it up in multiple ways. He seemed to be very touched and happy but it’s July and he didn’t use it once. It’s heavy (I just didn’t think about it, my bad) and I just think that maybe it’s cringe? He says it’s just a hassle to set it up but I don’t think it takes 7 months to do so. I asked him to just admit he appreciates the gesture but it was a miss if so and move on but each week he says that’s the week he’s going to use it and I’m disappointed :/ Can someone with a bit more experience weigh in? Is like a cool graphic more important in a screen? Are DIY screens lame? If so, what would be a more suitable gift for a new GM? I wanted to make it myself but is it faux pas?

Spinning Life Counter internal mechanism

I’m trying to make something like these but using wood and I don’t have a 3D printer. I can’t figure out what kind of gear/joint situation would be required to be able to spin the sides but have them lock in place so that they don’t just spin willy nilly.

Does anyone have suggestions?

We are finishing up CoS,, and we are going to run tomb of annihilation. It's my turn to DM, and I like crafting. What scatter terrain pieces/ set pieces should I make? (Willing to spend a month of Sundays and $50 at the dollar tree/ harbour freight. I've posted some of the stuff I've made before)
