EASY props to LEVEL UP your D&D night! 

Ending the video not with "dont forget to like and subscribe" but with "I appreciate you" has given me this warm feeling. Thank you, I appreciate you too.

The potion idea is really cute!

Dude that intro was all kinds of epic

When I made cards I had the back be a generic pattern over the whole page. That way you dont need to line them up. You can still have different colour backs to represent different kinds of item.

Don't soak the maps in water, soak them in tea. It gives a nice colour to the paper when it dries.

I really like these tips. They're just the right ratio of practical vs. high quality that I look for on D&D channels. So many go too far one way or the other.

Watabou just saved my life. Bless you! I (and my table) appreciate you too!

Back when I ran COC IRL (our campaign ended right before Covid hit), I loved handing my players the handouts for the scenarios I was running and watching them pour over it like detectives. I’ll have to use some of these for my planned IRL campaigns.

Wow, content is amazing, right amount of comedy mixed with good and clear information. Underrated channel for sure, hope see you growing quick!

I just got my wife to try D&D with me for the first time as a Christmas gift. We're both new to it but I've been interested in trying for a long time. I've been watching videos to get ready and this is the first of yours that I've seen. I really appreciate the calm, peaceful and to-to-point presentation. I'll definitely be watching more, thanks!

Love the potion idea. Will be using that. In my campaign I had a secret order, that has a talisman of a unicorn head made of amethyst. So I printer off a model that matched, made a mold and made a resin version of the talisman using colored inks and gels, etc, and handed it to my players. They had to find a member of the order on some city docks and i had them RP trying to covertly flash this talisman at npcs until they found the right one. 😂

You seem like a genuinely good and kind person. I appreciate you as well. 💜

Great content! Easy to replicate, even on a low budget, quick to the point without feeling rushed and with a good amount of comedy sprinkled around 😀 - You just earned yourself a new sub 😛

That's a neat handlebar you have sir! Thank you for the links and ideas. My players really love props!

Man after the intro skit I instantly subscribed. Great to see some fun content alongside such good ideas. 🤘

I’ve only watched the intro and I’ve already subscribed… thank you for making authentic and entertaining content.

The opening bit is incredibly funny. The content was excellent. The ending words snagged my sub!

I love this. Actually, I have tools and sealing wax, so to start my first Campaign I handed the players a hand written and wax sealed letter. I need to get myself a DM screen and other things moving forward, including making that potion stand cause that is amazing

I'm DMing for kids and I'm so excited to make these props. It really makes the story come alive for them ❤

I've always seen the potion idea and not been sure of it but I think your design has sold me!

The reveal at the beginning was amazing. First video of yours I've ever seen, and I hope I get more. Top quality humor right there! 😂

I'm glad this showed up on my recommended. Quick, fun, clear and useful. Sure going to check your other stuff.

I have tons of blank white and beige playing cards as well as different index cards for items and spells. Now I bought stained paper for notes and stuff thanks to your suggestions.

Love you video! Great job! The potions and map are the first thing I am adding to my campaign!

I’m glad you mentioned Staples, lol. I work there in the print center and we can do a lot of neat stuff for you for D&D! I’ve produced my fair share for local games!

Only just found your channel, really great content. Simple concepts done well without trying to be overly dramatic or in a self-aggrandising way. Will definitely be stealing the potion dice in a flask / tube idea. Thanks!

These tips are SO GOOD and bring more life to the table! Loved it Thank you for sharing and I appreciate you too :)

I love how to-the-point this video is, although, I would have loved to see a brief tutorial for each of the DIY items :)

After watching two videos I am so impressed with your creativity in your videos I can only imagine having you as a dm. Subscribed!

Short and straight to the point. Definitely a good watch! 🔥🔥🔥 That sick mustache just makes it even better! 🔥🔥🔥

Holy shit the potion vials are actually next level, I'm totally stealing that idea 😄

As a forever DM/GM who does props as well this is a great resource.

Fantastic video, excited to be able to subscribe. Definitely looking forward to following along your content journey!

Wow. "DicePotion" is great idea. So simple but so cool. Subscribed.

bro thank you for sharing with us this much! We appreciate you as well. Keep on with the great work

Love this video, really helps the table come alive!

super under rated channel, love your ideas! ive taken lots of inspiration from your videos to put in my homebrew campaign and its high time that my plagiarism of your ideas gets called out, you deserve way more subs!!

just stumbled across this channel today... your production value is incredible!

gem of a channel recommended to me, easy sub earned, looking forward to more videos

just listing and looking at you makes me happy

Another take for the item cards. I use tcg clear sleeves instead of laminating. It saves time, cards can be re done if there is an error and Most importantly, if there is a cursed item I can print card and back seperately and have a "good" side to gove to Players and a "real" side with the curse to be swapped around

Several years ago MtG had a tournament where the gave out red and blue d4s I bought the extras from my local store and any store I came across in a 50 mile radius. I have about 80 red ones and 60 blue ones. I figured use the red for potions and blue for Magic Missile.

mate, I appreciate, your effort, your style, your ideas and just being you. Or multiple you's in some vid's lol. Thank you so much, I;m currently going through a painstaking process of developing a small card / board game of the campiagm I have adhoc'd form a one shot that has lasted 2 years, just to show my appreciation of their commitment to the game. This, and all you video's, are very inspring. Inreally do appreciate you mate! Top bloke!!

The potion is a fantastic idea. And that is a wonderful execution.

I like the coin ideas! Honestly I’d like to see more content like this- your production quality is super nice and I dig what you’ve got going on here. Subscribing my guy 🫡

The potion stand is dope

Absolutely the most underrated DND channel around

The intro had me subscribing to the channel.

I love everything this man said.

You, my man, have earned a subscription. Awesome video!

I like your vibe, when the video ended I was thinking « that dude is so cool » . Instant sub !

hellll yeah. that skit was great too

Man, maps, coins - standard stuff. But that potion with dice? Totally awesome, gotta make one too! Thanks!

Little something to boost those potion vials. A bit of red tinted resin in the bottom will both make them sit in the holder a bit better and offer them a bit more weight. Doing so also fills a bit of the visual space when they are sitting on the table.

You got some actual lol’s from me dude. Great content and dig the moustache

Thank you for the info

Ive been looking for a lite map generator that provides decent dungeons and world scale maps thank you so much for Watabou!!

Great video, thanks for posting. Glad to find it and to subscribe.

Short, on point and links provided. Where have you been all my life?

That full minute of inception was incredible

ooh, first video, you've earned yourself a subscriber!

Great ideas! The best aged paper can be done with just coffee too!

My favourite RU-vid intro ever.

La introducción fue maravillosa

Such great ideas, tysm!

I loved your video, thx a lot

0:35 ok this is SO funny! Like way better than several of a 'guy dressed slightly differently playing D&D with himself' videos I've seen on RU-vid. Also this is my first of your videos

Amazing ideas!!!

Good stuff, man. Thanks 👍

Awesome video! Looking forward to more of your content in the future.

First time I've watched a video and subbed before the end of the first 60min.

That was a great opening! Thanks for the laugh!

What an awesome vid! Thanks man

Oh this is a great channel! Good work!

awesome video! i rly like your style of editing and lighting/mic basically everything :D

Brilliant intro! Brings new meaning to playing with yourself as well. 🤣

aged paper is also super easy to make with instant coffee, just dip your paper into cold coffe (the effect will get stronger the longer you leave it soak)

So many wonderful ideas

Super dope ideas

First time checking your content, you remind me a lot of bob worldbuilder (in a very good way). Easy sub, love to see what you come up with next!

u know i always see guys making videos and saying at the end like and subscribe but neber appreciate you, i really liked it gave it a certain cozy feeling, u get a like my good sir

Oh man! So I already had the test tubes because *cough* I may or may not have had air plants... that... died... time to be REPURPOSED! I've been tempted to design Magic Item Cards for the longest time so this is definitely gonna happen now. Thanks for the push! I appreciate YOU sir! Big Love from Scotland!

Wellp this channel is clearly going to be a gold mine

love the ideas man! Im currently working on cardboard coins which ill paint gold and silver (i hb the economy so I won't need so many) and spell slots tokens of different sizes (which will be glittery blue) so we have more visual stuff. i think tokens and such are awesome to have at hand so you don't have to flip around character sheets and notes all the time.

Loved the video, and your style. A more relaxed delivery is so much better to listen to than the faked enthusiasm "RU-vidr Voice" most creators put on. Keep it comin'.

That intro alone made me subscribe. It's my kind of humor! 😜

I also make cards with downloaded illustrations for class/racial abilities with limited uses, like Rage, Action Surge, Wild Shape, etc. When the player uses the ability, we don't need to mark it on their character sheet or anything, they just hand over one of their cards. After a short/long rest, I give them back their cards. I have an extensive design background, so I love making this type of stuff for our campaigns.

Only watched two of your videos, subscribed because of it

I love stuff like this

I've, recently, found it's rather easy to find a laser cutter/etcher that's either free to use or cheap. One of the coolest props that I've used at the table was a 2'x2' leather map of the area the campaign was in. It was a thing that was always available on the table for two and a half years there and is now framed on the wall... It wasn't an extremely detailed map of the type you'd think with things like the big, detailed sword coast one or similar, it's a more rustic looking one with roughed up edges and some wear from the time used, and looks like something you might find in a world and one that would be of use in a more rugged region where there's a lot of things that might destroy a paper or similar map.

You can't just start a video with such plot-twist, now I want the whole series (? (Btw, thanks for the video and the ideas)

I went all out and got a 3d printer for my ttrpg needs. But do like to mess around with arts and craft so I will definately borrow a few ideas.😊

Such a good video!!!!

This was great info.

Dude. Liked, subscribed. Thanks!

Really cool!

Good ideas and good video production.

That intro got me good. subbed 😏👍

Craft stores are the best for this as long as your players have some imagination and reasonable standards. A bit of felt or craft foam cut into vague shapes goes a long way for terrain and is highly reusable but also easy to replace so you don't need the same shapes over and over and over. The fun is always just going through a store and thinking "what can i make with any of this", give yourself $20 and find some tools or material that you can get the most variety value out of. Rarely do you need anything hyper specific, so you can get so much stuff to put on a table to play with by not requiring high amounts of detail or specificity. You don't need the wall to be to scale, you just need a vertical thing on the table and say "this is 10 feet high even though your mini can see over it"

Watabou mentioned huge W
