Thank you for the cards.

I was totally confused thinking this was a Portable DM like the Automatic Pilot in Airplane.

Nice books on your shelf! All the way back to Advanced D&D!

How about how to print the map either 1 sq per 5' or 1 sq per 10' but done so that you can use it tabletop with figures?

Are those miniature tokens still available? The link seems to be no longer valid :/

Where you get the container box

My kit is very similar, except I use an Android tablet (Galaxy tab s8+), Paizo flip mats instead of the chessex mat, I just use Yugioh cards and card sleeves as backings for my custom cards, and instead of wet erase I use Korean liquid ink board markers. They work like dry erase but are refillable and don't stain. I also bring a small box of painted Heroquest and D&D board game minis because I like painting and want to show off my work. I also make sure to have a charged usb power bank. I once ran a campaign using nothing but dice, my phone, and some index card size mini white boards just to see if I could. It went ok, but it didn't flow as well as I like. I had to draw any visuals by hand, and paging through phone apps isn't great. I got it streamlined after two or three sessions, but it still wasn't ideal.

Nice content !. I'm looking for the power cards of DnD 4e to print. I can't found it. Any help ?

i dint see much wet erase and the tokeans and the side padeal and the thinking of the data of the pens sould last a good books with of arcing storys and the making of the good thinking of the map of the rose line of the old job of the tavern music and the haveing of the old thinking of the Game of ur with an online feal.

Thanks for the idea, I'm gonna give my players chocolate chips so they can eat it when they use the slot

As much as I would love to have an epic tabletop that would make even Mr Gygax jealous, it's just not always feasible. In my opinion clean, organized, and simplified can create a great environment.

I stopped using DM's screen decades ago. I roll most everything in front of the players (with any hidden rolls under my hand). If they want to look at the adventure module, they can, they're only cheating themselves. There's no me vs them as a DM's screen would suggest. It's a team effort to advance the story.

This is actually really helpful for a beginner DM who wants to introduce the game to someone too. It isn't that hard to put together and isn't very intimidating. I'm probably going to design something for a 3D printer for the tokens, because that is a really clever idea.

bruh, this is the best gift idea ever. I made the dice bag and the tray before but I can just deliver a whole ass kit and it's gonna be ten times more practical and useful, thank you!

Hi! We use rings from a bottle (the ring that is connecting the cap to the bottle). For marking conditions on the battle field. The colours are corresponding with the condoom cards we use. And to mark how high a player is flying we use a d4/d6. Each number x10. That is in case of certain spells or if a player loses its concentration and falls. Apologies for my English! But I hope it helps :) Loved the video btw❤ Greetings from Holland🌷🇳🇱

isn't that size too small?

Some great ideas. One day I’ll have the courage to DM at a con or meet-up!

11:57 "Tap the Icon" is actually a really good character name! 😄 1. I really like the multi-colored dice idea for noobs. 4:35 You could also use a die for showing elevation, d20 for example, in 5' or 10' increments, is up to 200' 10:11 I've been playing since the 80s, and I love that people still use pen and paper and real dice and still get together in groups to play. You can do everything digitally now, heck, you could play anywhere anytime with just your phone. But it doesn't compare to in-person, multi-sensory tabletop play. Not even VTT will change that. Also, to all you millennials and zoomers who grew up with this, screw you! Little bastards! (Sorry. I'm just super jealous!)

How do you get the alone battlemap PNG like that? all i have are DOIP Maps that are left inside of the book digitally and physically from the essentials kit. dunno how to find the battlemaps alone for locations. Nor map battlemaps myself.

K, so this video is 2 years old but I want to get the adverturers' kits off of pinterest and laminate those.

My weekly face to face sessions are four hours in length. We have a set stopping time, because one of the players has a scheduled session at another location an hour after we end for the day. I'd prefer a little longer, but you have to accommodate your players.

Love those tokens!!!

Wet erase markers only on those mats... never use dry erase... you won't be happy if you do. I had a friend use them on one of my mats and... yeah... I wasn't happy. lol

Thanks for the vid!

The Tokens from Sidequest TTM are brilliant. I always have them as part of my own GM Kit

And the storyline?

Which DM screen do you use?

Stop laughing about player AIDS, it's a very serious condition!

Fantastic kit. I'll be making some purchases after this

Not only is your kit focused on new players, but it's very small given that's the focus … It really does go to show that you do not need a lot of stuff to play the game, really in the age of electronic books and modules, you don't!

you guys know how to add grid lines for 5 foot squares for that map? 1 square = 10 feet isn't the correct size

The colored dies are an absolute massive brain suggestion. Im gonna carry a set

You didn't teach shit

i like this minimalist kit, thank you for this informative vid. It saves me from lugging a heavy backpack to games

the cheat sheet are a very genius idea! and the different colored dice are crazy smart

Hey, can you share the model of that tackle box? I'm looking for it all over internet but I can't find the exact one without any "walls" in it. Thank you. Really great video

Could you please tell me which Meiho VS tackle box that is? EDIT: For anyone interested, after some guesswork and odering an incorrect VS-3010NDM, I'm fairly certain that it's a VS-3020NDDM. I compared the space above the dice box and looked up the measurements of the soundbox for reference. The measurements are 255x190x60mm if you are looking for anything with a similar volume. Even got mine in black, which looks a little nicer :)

Where did you get the cheat sheets?

I don’t use tabletop materials, so my portable kit is simpler. All I need to DM is dice, a notebook, pencils, the DMG and MM, and a DM screen. A large coffee and some chips might also come in handy, but I play old school so the rest is improvised.

My portable kit is my backpack and two catalog cases.

I recommend also having a handy little "mini character sheet" that you can write an action on in wet/dry erase, along with the modifier. the attacks are hard to find for new players, so having the default ones written out (ie, fire bolt, crossbow, crossbow with sneak attack, etc) on a small (maybe 3"x5" card) that you can hand to the player as a reference is good. if you do it double sided, the other side can be for spells, with "Spell Attack" and "Spell Save" written clearly, with little dots to fill in for spell slots. alternatively, have a half dozen of martial and half dozen of spellcaster, and have a space for character stats on the back (ie, hp, AC, and saves) for useful info in combat. I made a custom sheet for my pathfinder character, with the bardic inspiration, spell slots, hp, and found it worked really well to keep track of everything. it was in a plastic pocket, so I could do dry erase over it, filling bubbles at a long rest and wiping them off when they were used.

Such a good idea for saving time and still getting good looking maps.

One thing I like about WoD and the storyteller system in general is that you don't need 5 different types of dice, its all done on a d10. I would immagine our storyteller going nuts with all those dice, the rest of the kit is really nice though, I will give a thought about that portable dice pad.

Really impressed with the pocket token sets!

I wish you had showed what symbols you had custom made on the tokens over what symbols they already offered. Would have been interesting to see what choices you made to replace/change. Other than that, I loved your kit. Well done.

Just found out about this channel, can't wait for more!

Excellent ! Very inspiring ! Thanks =)

Love the buddy and rival idea!

I flesh out the bigger named NPCs. Almost like a PC. Good ideas.

Using the dice container as a flying stand is brilliant. Not sure why I never thought of that!
