Dungeons & Dragons

The way you play determines the price point of your Dungeons and Dragons supplies. If you want multiple sets of dice and all the expansion sets, D&D can quickly exceed your budget. However, keeping it simple with just a couple of dice sets, online tools, and homebrew adventures can ensure accessibility across all price points.

There are several different types of dice, including resin or acrylic, metal, and stone or glass. Resin and acrylic sets are lightweight and affordable; many come with customizable inclusions to personalize your set. Metal dice are heavy and fun to roll, but you’ll need a tray to protect the dice and the surface you’re rolling on. Gemstone and glass dice are incredibly beautiful, but they’re among the most delicate, so you’ll need to store them with care.

The best GM supplies for you will depend on the type of game master you prefer to be. If you have all your notes on paper and minis you’ll be placing on a battle map, you’ll want a GM screen to prevent players from peeking. Grid battle maps can also be an essential tool for large-scale encounters or precision strategies. Finally, condition rings could be useful for tracking character status during prolonged encounters.
