Gaming Aids for the DM that has everything

[blargney the second]

The MacFarlane dragons are gorgeous, and not particularly expensive. I've got one, and covet more.

UPDATE. Thanks for all the suggestions.

I'm pretty sure he has all the WotC Garg/Col minis save maybe the Blue. Incidentally this guy is an amateur miniature sculpter and modifier and his mini collection is INSANE.

Between the McFarlane Dragons, Todd Lockwood's Transitions, and maybe a print I think I have all my bases.

Now I just need to make sure he doesn't order the print I'm looking at that he expressed interest in (he's already done that once!)

They look really cool, do you know how close they are Gargantuan/Colosal? I can't tell.

The MacFarlene Dragons aren't remotely Collasal. Take a look at the Colossal Red Dragon minature that is amost triple the MacFarlen Dragon's size.

They are a HAIR under Gargantuan. You could say they are Gargantuan and no one would notice!

You could buy the Dundjinni program for him. It's a nice mapping program. He could use it to make custom tiles.

Wotc's Colossal Red Dragon is way oversized for a colossal monster. It has a 8" base (rather than the 6" it ought to be), and overflows even that by a fair bit.

Despite all that, it's still a lovely beast. I rock him to sleep every night.

He's got that too. He's got everything.

As another member of this DM's group, he really DOES have almost everything...

But, DrDevoid (you know who you are)... he lacks a Rules Compendium. I'm off to email the group about this startling realization and we can get him one.

See you tonight for the game,
"Hargrim"

he has a ton of minis, and scenary/tiles, and even framed fantasy prints. The one thing he might not have enough of is gaming aids.

He uses Steel Sqwire templates and a magnetic Initiative Tracker. Is there anything you fine folks can think of that might be cool?

- Tact-tiles
- Critical hit cards
- Critical fumble cards
- Deck of illusions
- Deck of many things
- Light gray modeling clay (I use this for *all* sorts of things: terrain, impromptu miniatures, elevating flying miniatures, sticking miniatures to each other, status markers, etc.)

Things I've created myself (and can provide files for if desired):
- Fold-up Daern's instant fortress.
- Bag of tricks: filled with tokens (in appropriate number for random pulls) for animals, with their picture on the front (for use as a miniature) and combat stats on the back.
- Rod of wonder: filled with tokens (in appropriate number for random pulls) for effects

Maybe some kind of ornate dice box? Something in nice wood, or with dragon motifs. I have an antique teak box myself...
