Me and my wife bring a TON of stuff to the game. A giant gaming bag holding dice trays and dice bags, box of condition markers, 3 tackle boxes of minis, flight stands, rulers and protractors, bundle of character sheets, and at least 3 rulebooks. Also bevvies, food, jackets, etc. If one of us is DM-ing then add a laptop, a carboard box of terrain, folder of handouts, and a large battle mat. Anywhere from 40 to 60 lbs of gear and consumables. Fortunately we have a vehicle and there's lots of parking in Montana.
I have two of those big cases! (But a different brand. One thing I have found useful is buying some plastic business card holder boxes. I can fit two in each compartment and you can use them to split things up... so a box for npcs, a box of guards, a box of crates and scatter, a box of dice etc... really useful to be able to pull stuff out. The most useful thing I have is.. a box of doors. Nothing points players towards where they need to go like a plastic door!
I also have a few of the Stanley part cases, I like mine because they can clip together so I can carry 4 cases with one handel, I put a lot of generic minis in most of them so I can improvise if I need to, which I usually do.
Hey Blandco! I’ve been watching your videos for a while now. I love your content. I would love to see more of your custom miniatures you’ve made from toys you’ve collected from goodwill and other places! Keep up the amazing videos!
A neat array of stuff! Thank you for sharing. You also had me cracking up with that intro picture. What in the world was that? lol. AND... I need to get me some of those paper towels. What a great idea. lmao. Well done, my friend. Thank you for accepting the challenge. 🙂
THanks Wally! I have been getting more into AI image stuff so that was an attempt to merge you and Zipperton. Sadly it didn't work great because of the hats.
Did you drill out the center of that Astral Giant?! The Horror! I'm lucky that I've been able to host for my D&D games, so my collection has been the same room or next room...I would hate having to sort my miniatures to put them back into my system x.x; Speaking of that - Future Video Idea - Home Miniature collection showcase? Show us what minis you have, how you sort and store them?
@@Blandco Its a really cool mod man, I'm just squemish about moding/cutting up any prepainted minis haha. Yeah those old WOTC/Hasbros are getting up there.
I carry one main rule book, a lite weight laptop or tablet for pdfs, printouts of everything I could need for the session and good reference sheets, pens, pencils, journal, dice, condition tokens, the necessary miniatures or pawns if I really want to travel lite, a zoned circular play map for a hybrid mixture of ToM and tactical combat and lastly a little dungeon scatter terrain. It all fits in an average sized backpack and there is still space to spare most of the time.. Your setup is overkill lol. For D&D games most editions I don't even really need the books at this point.. I can just reference a pdf or reference sheet.. a huge amount of books really aren't needed in this day and age lol.. I play OSR games and it's even easier to run now WotC no longer necessary

This is shockingly similar to my own "kit" right down to the Stanley box (same one)!!!
My DM kit is a bit simpler:
-Wi-Fi
-Virtual tabletop
-4Gb folder of D&D related PNGs and PDFs
No one wants to play with me IRL...
Hey mate how can i get in contact with you for the pngs and pdfs? I am learning dnd
Cool
Looks like what I used before
Now there’s too many minis

Yeah. It was already beat up and was never going to be a collectable but now I kinda of regret it considering how expensive Hasbro minis are. Ah well!

Hey. Nice Baragon at the end there :)
I will never get sick of those behind the scene footage clips.
oh, wow, i didnt know about a d1000 dice. Where can you buy one?
I just found it at the local game store. Lots of people make them. d1000 tables are fun!
