Accessories That Put the Dragon in Dungeons and Dragons
It’s called Dungeons and Dragons, but dragons are one of the monsters we encounter the least. So, let’s all give those dragons a bit more love.
Despite the game being called Dungeons and Dragons, we see dragons relatively little. The Monster Manual is full of hundreds of other monsters to fight instead, and many times, dragons are the sort of end-game beast you hold off on until players are more or less maxed out and your DM is ready to wrap the campaign up. But dragons are central to the fantasy genre and aesthetic. Not to mention pretty darn cool. Even if you don’t want your character to meet one any time soon, you can still appreciate a cool-looking dragon, so let’s do that.
1. Hollow Dragon Dice
This set of dice combines a bunch of things we think are very neat; they’re metal and hollow, have a great effect of a dragon escaping the dice, and are even a little faux-blood stained. If you’re not into the black dragon or the blood, these same dice come in a variety of colors. But if you’ve been locked in an epic battle, it’s nice to think that you may have actually gotten a couple of shots in.
2. Sleeping Dragon Dice Bowl
Of course, if you’re getting special shiny rocks, you’ll need a dragon to slumber on and protect them. This pewter sleeping dragon bowl comes with metal dice and matching faux crystals to give the complete illusion of a dragon guarding its hoard from intruders and adventurers. Dice and crystals come in a variety of colors, depending on what kind of treasure your character (or dragon) favors. I’m a huge fan of the thoughtful details in this particular piece. It would be easy to have a sleeping dragon-shaped bowl. But the matching gems to sell the illusion? Chef’s kiss.
3. THE Book on Dragons
Fizban’s Treasury of Dragons is basically the book on the subject for 5th edition. If you plan on incorporating dragons into your game, want more dragon options, more dragon-based-character options, or just want more lore and info to pad out your world with, you can’t go wrong with Fizban.
4. Blue Dragon Figure
Sure, our characters don’t meet dragons often. But when it’s time to wouldn’t you prefer your players around the table have a realistic figure to look at? Y’know, for tactical reasons. Not because you like collecting things or anything. And while you’re at it, dragons come in all sorts of colors. So check out the black, green, red, and white dragons, too. So Blue here isn’t lonely.
5. Dice Bag Fit For a Hoard
If you have way more dice than you realistically need, you and the dragons may have a little more in common than you’d think. This dice bag is designed to hold your whole collection. At twelve by seven inches, it can hold up to 300 standard dice. And with eight pockets, you can even keep them organized!
Oh hey! BoLS might make a little dolla-dolla if you decide to buy these items. We need that money to hire a dragon trainer slash walker.
