… even though he lives alone!

Just from DMing perspective I feel this when my players decide to fight a NPC they weren’t supposed to fight at a level I don’t have a block for lol. “Well your options are cr3 and cr10 and you’re level 7 so…10 it is and imma just shave some stuff off while hoping for the best” lol. Shout-out to every time my party says they’re looking for shady people to circumvent the legal way to do something then balk when the pricetag isn’t a handshake and an IOU their reputation proceeds them will never be collected.

What the fuck

I know right? What a rip off, it doesn’t even come with popcorn.

I only have like 10 minis and the party I DM for is 5 people, so I use a lot of random stuff as minis. I’m slowly building a collection, but it’s expensive lol

As a totally cheap-ass DM, my recommendation is to find some printable DnD tokens that you like and glue them to things like bottle-caps, or small round bits of wood (like chunks off of a dowel from the hardware store). There are a bunch around. If you want to splurge, take the bits you want somewhere you can pay for a quality color printout.

Personally, I’m a fan of these generic tokens by “Acquitt”. They’re useful for every encounter: https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fexternal-preview.redd.it%2FV7egJC87nsVUTybGs5E3DwvRihmz6KduUfniSJk6Fec.jpg%3Fauto%3Dwebp%26s%3D57f11a74865814f31c7236adb1555a43529ca355

I glued these to some sculpey discs of the same color. I also used transparent binder sleeves for HP tracker sheets, so I could use dry-erase marker. Lastly, my battle map was a large (but cheap) poster frame with 1" grid paper inside^1^. This let me use those dry-erase markers to draw terrain.

1. For more thrift, some wrapping paper brands print a barely visible 1" grid on the backside. Some quality time with a ruler and pen can turn that into something useful.

Hopefully not… Otherwise someone is literally boofing microplastics.

The joke is that’s a dildo

Well he has a roommate

Yep and CR10 when you’re level 7 and decided to fuck around is also a proverbial dildo

It’s actually this one: https://bad-dragon.com/products/tako

You’ve got a good eye for tentacle dildos.

DM really bringing atmosphere to new heights. Can even smell the ocean.

Let’s see what Mage Hand does on this boyo

they are just recreating an old videogame

wait till you see their april fools promotion from this year.

In many cases you don’t need mini at all, it’s rpg not a miniature game.

No mini nor battlemap gives more freedom to everyone (at the price of less tactical depth), and if you need a view on the situation, a whiteboard with a sketch + cross/letter does can bring you pretty far

And what if the DM is a woman?
