what else can i make?

[Tewligan]

A pincer for the mini's that way you don't have to stand up move all your stuff lean over the tabel possibly bumping it spilling soda and messing up die rolls. Kind of makes me sound lazy huh.

Yeah, kinda.
"I wash myself with a rag on a stick."

 

[Tsyr]

I like Arwink's idea too!

That, or a set of little... uh... braces, I guess, for a DM's screen. Set 'em down, put the DM screen in them, arange as you like, and no more worying about sneezing.

 

[Umbran]

A bookstand, so you can rest a DMG open on it like the archetypal wizards spellbook and do away with the DM's screen

The only way I could get rid of teh screen is to have a full table. I've got the DMG, the MM, maps, and lots of other notes the players shouldn't see. While such a stand would be mighty pretty, it would need to be very large to be functional.

 

[KnowTheToe]

A rubber band gun to shoot annoying players or an overzealous DM after he kills your PC and then disintegrates him for fun.

I'd have to second Umbran's excellent dice holder idea. Add some space to hold pencils and pens too. Maybe just have a few holes to stick pens in upright, or just make the dice holder long enough to hold a pen.

 

[Nifft]

A Tower, open on one side, with a one-inch grid for everything (including the stairs -- got to have steps exactly one-inch square, even if that's not exactly relalistic at scale).

A City Wall, for use with the Tower above.

A Battle Pit (mini-arena).

A Battle Pit (mini-arena).

Doubles as a dice rolling area when not "in use".

Why not build a complete castle, with re-arrangeable component modules?

In other words, a couple of towers, a main hall with a gateway and drawbridge.

Basically ... an elaborate "dollhouse" that you could either use as your character's base of operations, or (if you could re-arrange it in enough different ways) use again and again for various scenes that occur in your campaign.

Thanks for the inspiration. I might just have to do this myself!

It is called Dwarven Forge

 

[Number47]

A chessboard-like grid. Thick and heavy, sloped ornate sides. The lines of the grid are inset from the top. The spacing of the squares are a "generous inch" for miniatures that tend to hog space. Each intersection of lines is a uniform-sized hole for a dowel. DMs can then put in trees or small buildings by having them anchored with dowels. The whole thing should be glazed so it can be written on with grease pencils and cleaned off. Sound specific enough?

By the way, some day I wish to open up a game shop of my own. It wouldn't be for at least a couple of years, even being optimistic. But if and when I did, would you consider producing enough sculpture that it could be stocked? Maybe three or four bigger things like the dice roller, reordered as needed?
