So, I've been a GM most of my life (44), and one day my wife got into stamp-making for our kids and suddenly we saw the potential for worldbuilding and play in our in-house ttrpg games.

We skeched out the landmarks, cleaned them up in PhotoShop and laser cut the stamps to prototype them. It turns out they were a blast to use. You could use them as a fog of war, revealing the terrain as players advanced, or as fast ahndouts or to improvise maps, or even just to prototype worlds in a physical medium.

So, encouraged by our friends, we've taken it to Kickstarter and the campaign is live now! If your quick you can still catch the early-bird offers which end tomorrow.

Any way, this is a little project we do from our living room in Madrid (Spain) and we wanted to sahre it with the broader community. It started as a very crude DIY but I think the look we've got now is pretty nice.

If you don't want to collaborate with the campaign but are still curious about making them yourselves, I'll be happy to answer any questions! Happy dungeoning fellas!

Hey everyone!

I'm a DM and 3D printing enthusiast, and I've been working on a little project called 3D20 that I thought some of you might enjoy.

I've always loved using miniatures in my games, but traditional minis can be expensive, take ages to print, and eventually become a nightmare to store. Not to mention I have a slight panic attack when my 6 year old picks them up, she isn't gentle with them!

So I started experimenting with an alternative: simple, recognisable monster silhouettes that are easy to print on an FDM printer without supports, don't need painting, and take up very little storage space, and cost next to nothing to print out :)

What started as a few designs has now turned into a project to work through the entire 2024 D&D Monster Manual, creating printable meeple versions of the creatures along the way.

I've also started branching out into player characters and simple terrain pieces.

All the models are free to download on MakerWorld, I'm doing this for the community (and If I get enough points on the way from prints to buy a better printer, lovely stuff!):

I'm continuing to add new monsters each week, and I'd love to hear what other DMs and makers think of the concept.

Would you use something like this at your table, or do you prefer traditional miniatures?

And if there's a monster you'd particularly like to see as a meeple, let me know! I'll add it to the request list :)

This is the BriteMinis Nezznar which you can find here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4326929

I scaled him up and to set him at 32mm at his eye level instead of the tip of his head. He's a big mini. Then I created different baseplate that activates the LED on press. These LEDs are really bright and having them on constantly can be blinding. There isn't anything special on the baseplate to achieve the pressure connect since it's just a loose fit so this might take some fiddling with to get working.

Link to the baseplate here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:7110396

It's not perfect, takes some fiddling to get right so this is still very much a DnDIY project. In the last photo you can see some of the several dozen test baseplates I made to fit the CR2016 battery.

Hi guys! This is my first post here as I never dared actually building something myself before. After some time DMing, I am ready to properly build my first DM screen.

I have been playing with some concepts for the Art (don't worry these are not final versions), but I am very indecisive on what direction to take conceptually.

Which one do you like? I want to engrave it on wood, and the DM screen will be 3 horizontal panels (I am short, I can't see the party's minis if I use vertical ones lol).

I could ask AI, but I'd much rather have human opinions!

To clarify: Yes, these are AI, I want to pay an artist (a friend of mine) to actually do the art, but I do not know which direction to go, so I wanted a bit of public advice first

This Mimic Chest is based on a Vasily39 design. It is stained in walnut and cherry from Minwax and has an Acrylic eye. The teeth are hand painted. Finished with a Felt liner inside.

I keep seeing videos of people assembling these tiny, detailed rooms with working lights and microscopic books. But when you buy a DIY miniature house kit, are you actually building the whole structure from raw materials, or is it mostly gluing together pre-cut pieces like 3D-puzzle furniture? Is the main appeal the crafting process itself, or do people mostly use them as desk decor when they’re finished?

A few more shots of my ruined city! There are so many little details scattered throughout this scene, and I had a lot of fun bringing everything together.

Hope you guys like the pics!

It's currently live on Kickstarter if you want to check it out

And there is a free tower STL!

Hello everyone! It's me again! For those who don't know me, my name is Lucas, AKA Lusca. I started learning music at 7 years old because my dad was a musician.

Then when I was 10 or 13, 14 years I started making music. Horrible music I must say.

But now my dream of "living" from music is becoming a reality, step by step, little by little. I can't live off of this completely now, but, I know that with effort I'll get there!

So, A great RPG, game, story or video needs original music! Not some youtube free music but a handcrafted, no AI included music, that's what I do! I love my songs and put a lot of effort to deliver the best results! I made a 1:30min song in, i think, 7 or 8 hours... So... LOTS of effort!

But the GM liked it very very much!

So if you need an original music for your RPG Campaign, for your game that you are developing, for a story you want to create or for your videos on youtube/movie, please, PLEASE, talk to me on DISCORD, I'll help you out happly!

My DISCORD is: Lusca.cantor

Prices start at $20 USD

(I live in brazil so $20 is a lot here, that's why it is cheaper!)

There I can send you a link of my portfolio for you to take a look! I don't want to put it here so the post don't get banned.

Thanks yall!

Have a great week!

Hope to talk to you soon!

I am almost done with the recreation of my Dungeon Tiles.
Version 2 is going to be be the best I have ever made.

• Fully modular - A small collection of core pieces can build everything, with variants for aestethic or specialist purposes
• Sturdy - Build whole rooms/buildings/dungeons/towns and move them as complete sets or split them as you like
• Use clips and magnets interchangeably
• A unique wall system with versatility - Place walls where you want, prioritizing space for minis or easy builds. Walls can be places on top of tiles or in between
• Many more features

And in this latest video I announce my biggest undertaking yet: A fully digital Dungeon Builder with my tiles as the foundation. Build your own dungeons, print the pieces, or play in the dungeon online with your friends.

The Mimic Cake me and my husband made for our almost 8yo DnD party!

Recently posted my concept for a tavern scene as a quest board for one shots between campaigns. Here are recent minis made into a scene of two pairs of brothers with some prompts I came up with. Disclosure: I’ve never DM’d and barely started playing D&D so this may be a dumb idea and not how it works at all. It’s been really hard for my group to meet up so just filling the time between trying to learn and get the courage to run something one day. I Invite all suggestions and constructive criticisms since I’m just solo’ing this with help from books and YouTube😅

The Copperbelly Brothers - some drown their sorrows in barrels of ale, some fight them.
Once a legendary fighter, older brother Brokk has never been the same after the slaughter of his company at Moonstone Gap. Now he drowns his troubles in ale and picks fights with anything that looks at him sideways, including furniture. His younger brother Doben, now the captain of the town guard spends his days cleaning up Brokk’s messes which includes an open tab here at the Side Track Inn….for all the barrels he busts and climbs into each night. At least it makes him easier to roll home once he passes out. Tonight, Doben can barely get his first ale before Brokk is already squaring up with a barrel; but Doben knows under all these drunken antics lies a painful secret about the battle that destroyed his brother’s company and his desperate attempts to forget it all.

The Timbletwick Twins: Matt has the brains, Morrick has the limbs, together they almost make one whole Timbletwick..almost. Orphaned as children, twin brothers Matt and Morrick have survived by combining Matt’s sharp wit and Morricks brutish strength. Years ago, Matt lost his limbs saving Morrick in a magical accident in an abandoned artificers workshop. Since then Morrick carries his brother from town to town, barely scraping a living together through odd jobs and clever schemes. Through it all, the brothers are inseparable. Morrick still blames himself for Matt losing his limbs, Matt has never blamed him once. They own almost nothing but Matt insists he feels like the richest man alive and more complete than ever as long as Morrick is by his side. Tonight, Matt watches in amusement as Morrick triumphantly drinks from his boot after the bartender cut him off for the night. Neither realize that someone here tonight just might know of the machine responsible of Matt’s condition and that what’s now gone may not be lost forever.

Thanks for dropping by the Side Track Inn

Our DM is taking a DM break and a player now. So I am suddenly a DM and I absolutely still need to learn to not overdo things 😬. My three sessions so far had: terrain (which I had made before and our DM used), painted minis, physical props like a scroll, and a smoke machine...

My players loved it. I ended up scrapping the disc and just used a torso of a character as the screamer part of the vehicle. The last picture is my reference from the module. And I linked the original post https://www.reddit.com/r/DnDIY/s/BtX5RL18rO

A few weeks ago, someone shared a neat idea for making dungeon tiles by rubbing a printed plate with a crayon or pencil. But I wanted something I could use more generally, so I thought I'd try making just some grids that you could apply your own textures to, and figured 1in squares and hexagons would be a good place to start

I leave some othee progress pics in the comments, as if I post a video, I cannot add pictures as well

Customized a Vasily39 design to make this dice and gear box that looks like an old book. I added some gold filagree and a coiled dragon tongue cover. The inside is lined with felt and foam to protect everything.

Made this Medieval Cathedral dice Tray from a 2ZCreativeLab design. I stained the background wood in Phantom Gray and also used textured granite spray paint for the outer layers. Magnetic closures to secure the storage box.

Made this phone holder in the style of an Egyptian temple from a slightly modified Vasily39 design. Stained in yellow and blue with a little bit of red for the custom torches.
