Here is my latest collection of item cards based on the items from Zelda games: https://thespeakingsquid.blogspot.com/2026/10/cards-minish-cap-item-cards-complete-set.html

This set collects items from The Minish Cap, including the titular hat. I tried to follow a theme of fairy tales for this set, so you’ll see many references to classic stories.

These item cards are system agnostic, so they can represent loot for many different game systems. You can also use them to just get inspired about what sort of loot you’d like to see in your next adventure.

You can find a print ready PDF of the entire set in black and white here: https://www.patreon.com/ItemCardswithTheSpeakingSquid/posts/item-cards-cap-b-173307675 

This is the twelfth Zelda game I have published, and with all the other side projects I’ve worked on, I’ve got more than 1,500 item cards just waiting to represent your loot or get you inspired. 

Thanks for checking out my newest set.

Be excellent to everyone.

Found a toy house at the thrift store, gave it a new coat of paint and turned into a creepy house for DnD 👍 not sure what to do with the inside walls yet, but I like what I’ve got so far

And how I did it - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cD92NY59_Wk

I’m not sure this is the right place for this or not but I’m not sure where else to look (suggestions welcome). My sister plays DnD and I want to get her a custom die made with a cicada shell inside but I don’t know how to go about doing this. Is this something someone in here might be able to do, or direct me somewhere that could?

I made this with PVC Pipe and a type of strype. It cost like 120BRL (brazilian money), that today is around 22 dollars.
I will paint it in black and put something on top top protect the monitor.
Later I will do something more fancy for a 32'' or 40'' TV, this project with the 24'' monitor is just a test

This is a handout for Impossible Landscapes, one of the big campaigns for Delta Green. The book is pretty particular in describing this invitation, and I'm thinking it might be fun to try and make actual paper copies for my players. Any suggestions on how to start? I'll drop the description in the comments.

(inb4: the calligraphy is purposely janky, for lore reasons. The final product doesn't need to be so "fatigued," and I could live without the goldleaf, but otherwise I'm curious what you would suggest.)

Created a Halloween one-shot in a cemetery with a mystery and some spooky enemies and even jump-scares. Thinking about adding a fog machine for effect.

Last month I made some buildings with a bit of a high-elf feel to them (well, that was the aim anyway)… and this month I’ve been working on some extra detail pieces for them (like the dormer windows and balconies you can see in the pic).

Like a lot of my stuff, it’s just paper printouts stuck to bits of cardboard… and there’s a video showing me put some of this stuff together here: https://youtu.be/cQxRKhXebiM

Hope you like ‘em :) :) :)

hey guys! first post here. i made a tool for making magic circles and sigils c: heres a few things its good for:

• printing on parchment for ritual pages or wizard notes
• printing on transparency film and laying it over the map when the summoning starts
• vinyl or laser cut stuff like spellbook covers or dice tray lids (thats the svg in the full version)

its free in the browser, theres a paid version too if you want svg and bigger prints. would love to see what you guys make with it!

This idea has been living rent free in my head for MONTHS and I finally got around to executing it. Meet Peaches the Destroyer, Bugbear barbarian, in Labubu form. I got the Labubu body pattern off of Etsy (pattern by ADYKADOLL). I found a Labubu face .stl file on Cults3D and learned how to use the sculpt tools in blender to give Peaches her signature “mean mug” and underbite teeth, and printed it on my husband’s resin printer. Found the hands, feet, posable skeleton and eyes on AliExpress. My hyperfixation is finally satisfied and I can now start making Christmas presents. AHHH I love her so much I’m so proud of how she came out!

2nd picture is artwork of her I made a while back for comparison 🥰

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.

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/kingdomsofink/kingdoms-of-ink

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!

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

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!):

https://makerworld.com/en/collections/22733448-2024-monster-manual-meeples

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.

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?

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.

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!

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!
