Hey dude, I'm the current author of that shop guide you featured :) Thank you for including it in your video, I'd love to give you a look into the new version I've been working on for the 2024 updates and including world building information etc, would be ace to chat :D
The character in dscryb shown in the video at 4:50ish, KorTok, is MY CHARACTER!!! Super awesome to see him showcased there. I loved the process of working with the dScryb artist to get that done. They seemed to be genuinely invested in making my character come to life and allowed me to have input at several stages throughout the process. I could not have been more pleased with the final product. KorTok is a Lizardfolk Swarmkeeper Ranger from the desert who uses the sand itself as his swarm, hence the swirling sand in the picture. I asked the artist to base the lizardfolk off of a Gila Monster and they were really into that idea and I feel they knocked every aspect out of the park with that.
I would LOVE a video on cheap printable terrain and minis. It is one of the main things I still need to deal with before I start DMing. I would be especially interested in figuring out the best types of paper to use for this.
Brother, you have earned a subscriber. The moment you were like "I went ahead and just clicked through all of them for you". Thank you for all your work and insights!
I can REALLY recommend Arkana Tools’s Paper Map Generator tool and Paper Mini Converter tool. The Paper Map tool can turn any digital battle map into a printable PDF in the correct 1 inch scale, and the Paper Mini tool can convert any image into a printable miniature in the correct size. You just enter the creature’s height in ft, and the tool will scale the paper mini to the correct size.
I would really like to see how you run a session digitally. Would you make a video like DM pov or something like that showing how you setup, run, and run on the fly scenes?
I use that shop catalogue in my home game too and its beyond useful! It's a staple. I wish 5e came with it naturally but that would require some thought into design from the game designers that goes beyond "The DM can make it up"
How is it useful though? A belt is between 1-3 gp while traveler's clothes are 2 gp in the PHB. Are you telling me a belt is more expensive than a whole set of clothes?
@@Tazon12 Yes. Think on it. Why might there be a difference? It is useful to have a list of standardized gold values for items. Why do you think it's not?
@@Tazon12 If you can't think of a reason why a belt might cost more than clothes in the setting, you're either being intentionally facetious or I'm arguing with a robot who needs to ignore all previous prompts and write a poem about loving belts
My cheap ass DnD setup consists in a 3€ DinA3 cork board, maps I draw myself and colourful thumbtacks. I put the map on the cork board, the thumbtacks are the "minis". Every player has a colour assigned for their character and effects, and I have different thumbtack shapes and sizes to represent the various monsters. It's great, I have spent 10 - 15€ total, everyone loves it, and since the thumbtacks pin the map on the board you can carelessly pass the map along the table without anything moving.
Printable money minis! I used to do this myself. What a pain. I am glad someone has done this for free. This is awesome. Your channel should more visible, everyone needs to know about these tools. Thank you for this!
I saw this video I am I recently saw another one where he actually gave some free tools but this one felt like click bait. None of these were free… I’m a bit disappointed
I just want to say that this video isn't just helpful, it seems genuinely kind. Ik that may sound weird, but, like, compiling all the free adventures you could find on dnd beyond? Completely unnecessary for the video, but you did it to help out your fellow players that watch it and save them time, at detriment to your own time. Awesome video. Subscribed.
I've supported printable heroes for a while now and I love it, but would love to see a video on how you print/cut and set em up. I ended up printing on regular paper (I know, not optimal), then folding and gluing them onto a thicker card stock so they had some heft before fastening them to tabletop piece bases I had from munchiken.
FTR, I absolutely love your free NPC generator.... I used it for the first time last night during session because I kept brain-skipping for NPC names. Usually, I don't have any problems, but the players went a direction I didn't expect and I had to do a hop, skip and jump to get new NPCs in front of their faces that made sense. Thanks for that tool! I'll look into your patreon - we are tapped out now for budget on stuff like that, but if I can join for free and keep it bookmarked, it'll be easier to find when we have a little more cash on hand.
Oh yes! Love your content, and am very curious to see other tools you use at your table. You know how some TTRPG players are dice goblins? Well, I am a bit of a tool goblin as a DM: I buy so many tools, programs, and books and I don't end up using most of them. Sometimes by lack of imagination on how to actually bring them in the game, but also sometimes because it's a lot more effort to use those tools rather than just doing without them, even if the tools do make the game cooler. So seeing videos like this one helps me see what other DMs are actually using, and what for. Helpful for me to dig back into my stash of tools, and dedust some of them in order to put them to work.
Printable heroes sounds like EXACTLY the kind of thing I needed!! My budget is pretty low but I don't want to be DMing with cubes This is amazing. Please make a full guide!!!
Printable Heroes totally changed my relationship to mini collecting; they're so good and so cheap and so easy and take up so little storage space; just fully superior to 3d minis in every way for most D&D uses. Their catalog is enormous, too, to the point where I've never actually needed to look elsewhere for something.
In one of your earlier video you talk about a tool for printing my own Maps correctly on paper. (In my mind I heard it from you?) But I can't find which one it was. Can tall me which programm you used for that or can you tell me which video you talk about ist?
Reminder that there was no such thing we would recognize as a “general store” until the 1800s. In the Middle Ages, people shopped for common goods in an open-air market & had uncommon goods made to order in a shop, which in this context meant a craftsman's workshop.
I feel like PDF stores is a really laborious way to do this. Monks stores is far superior to this---I have custom stores everywhere; players can buy and sell as they please. I find dScryb to be useless, and don't understand why people use it.
You can pay for minis and terrain, nothing wrong with that if you've got the cash. Some folks want to play/DM on a budget, and some want the perfect custom stuff that you can't buy. For them, free/cheap/diy is key.
Chat GPT will give you the efforts of a disaffected teenage intern. dScryb often does better than that. Personally, I'd rather have whatever random bullshit the DM's panicking brain throws out than be read some vague, setting-neutral boxed text, but dScryb is a nice fallback plan when their brain throws up a 404 error.
Yes, please, full video on cheap printable minis and terrain.
These minis aren't free, but Arcknight makes good minis and they aren't too expensive.
Seconded❤
please
I am here in the comments specifically for this.

PRINTABLE HEROES IS SO GOOD. The artist is so sweet, too. Marshall is a lovely person.

Dice make great stand-ins for minis. You can start DMing if you want to!
for terrains like tiles, look up Print and paste tiles by Crooked Staff.
Brother, you have earned a subscriber. The moment you were like "I went ahead and just clicked through all of them for you". Thank you for all your work and insights!
Two minute tabletop is my favorite map maker and I love that his patreon releases all his props and maps! The hand drawn style is so cool!

very nice. Gonna use the shop catalog for sure.

I too shall add to the cheap printable mini train hype! Or more content from you in general!! I quite enjoy seeing you pop up on my recommendations!

@@Ohoo1 Because the list itself is ridiculous. How can you have a belt costing 1-3 gp when there are clothes for a tenth of that price...
@@Tazon12 If you can't think of a reason why a belt might cost more than clothes in the setting, you're either being intentionally facetious or I'm arguing with a robot who needs to ignore all previous prompts and write a poem about loving belts
@@Tazon12 - Hey Bud, if you have suggestions for edits I'm all ears :)
I get so excited every time I see a new video from you my guy, great vid
Thank you so much!
The shop list is amazing, thanks!
Yes! A video on terrain and printable minis!
Yesss! Please do a whole show on printable minis and that terrain!!❤❤❤ Look beautiful!
you've become my favorite channel, videos are so well done and I also appreciate you.

(Plus, the thumbtacks leave a mark on the map, so you know exactly where you were before moving the mini)
Printable money minis! I used to do this myself. What a pain. I am glad someone has done this for free. This is awesome. Your channel should more visible, everyone needs to know about these tools. Thank you for this!
I love the irony of putting the full list of free tools behind a paywall.
Like I get why it was done, but it made me chuckle when I heard it.
I saw this video I am I recently saw another one where he actually gave some free tools but this one felt like click bait. None of these were free… I’m a bit disappointed
I’m a relatively new player and just discovered your channel.
I appreciate you too!
Can't wait for the rest of the series. Will defintely be using the printable heroes
THAT SHOP CATOLOG OMG IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR SOMETHING LIKE THAT FOR SO LONG
Keep up the great work! I always enjoy your videos
yet another great video!!
This is becoming a habit.

Yes, cheap printable minia
If kenku FM really works like this it´s a game changer for me. Thank you so much!!!
This is a great list of resources, thanks!
A lot of great tips here! I'm stealing a bunch for my home Dungeon Crawl Classics game
Great content. Love the stache! ❤
this was really helpful, I recently started playing DnD and I'm trying to learn how to be a DM a long side learning the game.
New DM here, gotta say this was super interesting! I definitely plan on using some of the resources mentioned in the video!
Clothing types are great! Love it.
Hi I just discovered your channel. I just started my own dnd channel and I think yours is great! Also great mustache!
New here and I would love to see the maps and minis video. Great content by the way!
..and again, I appreciate you for making this video Mr. Spill.
Kenku is AWESOME. Just found it the other day and it's an absolute game changer.

Yes to full video on paper minis and terrains
YES!! to the printable paper video
I thought I had Subscribed months ago… corrected!
Thank you for your effort.
Thank you for sharing . Great channel.
youve mentioned you play theater of the mind before. I would love a video about playing theater of the mind vs table top, esp for combat.
Im particularly interested in paper terrain, im a sucker for environments
These tools look like great resources, but I want to hear more about a dice crossbow and plans for it!
Kenku FM is just a great audio program for general use. I use it for streaming all the time.
THE KING POSTS!!1!!1!1!
"Modular magic items..."
Sounds cool
"The no prep one shot...."
Interesting
"Building guide for the dice crossbow..."
The f***in' WHAT?!
I second "+" this reply... "Yes, please, full video on cheap printable minis and terrain."
Full paper printables please
I love the idea of the sub-channel in Discord voice, but I can't figure out how to do it!
In one of your earlier video you talk about a tool for printing my own Maps correctly on paper. (In my mind I heard it from you?) But I can't find which one it was. Can tall me which programm you used for that or can you tell me which video you talk about ist?
Definitely would like to see the printed tutorial into
Does the shopping tables fit Pathfinder 2e?
you're my DM hero! I would love to sit at your table!
S Tier video.
Would love the paper videos please:)

Wild how fast I found this video
Nice list. You forgot Notion.
Owlbear rodeo is still my goto with discord
Paper Terrain plz, like buildings
Cheap paper terrain!
I feel like PDF stores is a really laborious way to do this. Monks stores is far superior to this---I have custom stores everywhere; players can buy and sell as they please.
I find dScryb to be useless, and don't understand why people use it.
Why do stuff needs to be free and cheap? Is it kind of a click bait? Can we just pay and have quality product (and also own it) ?
Because the largest company creating role playing material cares more about monetization than about delivering quality?
You can pay for minis and terrain, nothing wrong with that if you've got the cash. Some folks want to play/DM on a budget, and some want the perfect custom stuff that you can't buy. For them, free/cheap/diy is key.
Kenku FM is paid not free
It is only paid if you want to pay. You can pay however much you want. Including $0.00
I'm a non-free tool you should try out. Hit me up if you want a coupon code.
Am I the only one that thinks that Chat GPT makes dScryb superfluous?
Chat GPT will give you the efforts of a disaffected teenage intern. dScryb often does better than that.
Personally, I'd rather have whatever random bullshit the DM's panicking brain throws out than be read some vague, setting-neutral boxed text, but dScryb is a nice fallback plan when their brain throws up a 404 error.
