Take Your D&D to the Sea
Whether your character is taking up piracy or just loves a good day on the beach, there are RPG accessories to take you to the ocean.
There are an endless number of reasons to take your D&D adventure to the open sea. For starters, there’s the classic “here there be monsters” fact that the ocean is full of new and interesting creatures to encounter. But between piracy, merchant vessels, and just quick ways to get around the map of the ocean be sure to help your players plan a beach trip, soon.
1. Ocean Battlemaps
The ocean may be big, blue, and mostly look the same the whole way, but battle maps and grids are still a good thing to have handy if you plan on any encounters. Many players (and DMs for that matter) and visual people, and seeing exactly where and how far various allies and foes alike are can be pretty important. Plus, this set comes with a ship map, so you can also map out your party’s travels around their boat.
2. Beachy Dice
Your ocean adventure is going to start and end at–or at least near–the beach and these dice will remind you of just how pretty it is. Gold sand, blue resin, and white numbers have the perfect waves-on-the-shore look. And the little shells inside are a great extra touch. These are some of the prettiest dice I’ve seen in a while.
3. Cthulhu Dice Tower
Cthulhu sleeps deep in the ocean… which is conveniently where we’re going! Hopefully, he stays asleep. Your D&D campaign is probably pretty light on The Great Old Ones, but this dice tower featuring Cthulhu rising from the depths is still pretty fun, as is the fact that his hands are the perfect size for holding a pair of extra dice. Plus, he’s just the right amount of threatening for your more trouble-making players.
4. 3D Grid Ship
The ocean grids from a few items up are cool and helpful. But most ships have an above and below deck, and your party is probably going to be spending a fair amount of time in all of the levels. Is somebody steering? How about sleeping? How about manning some cannons or attempting to fix ship holes? It’s good to know where on deck each player is.
5. Ship Dice
The beach dice are beautiful and I love them. But if you’re looking for something a little more adventurous and a little less pretty, this set has a very cool ship-in-a-bottle look. Once again, sparkly blue resin really captures the look of the sea on a dice day, and the little ships inside look very cool.
Oh hey! BoLS might make a little dolla-dolla if you decide to buy these items. We need that money to buy treasure to take to a remote island and bury. Don’t worry, we’ll mark a map.
