We give our recommendations for the best gifts for the TTRPG players in your life!
As TTRPG players ourselves and people who have friends that enjoy these role-playing games, we thought it fitting to write a gift guide. Whether you play D&D, Pathfinder, Call of Cthulhu, the Lord of the Rings RPG, or indie games, there is something for everyone who enjoys rolling dice.
The Dice Dragon
It’s hard to find a TTRPG player that will turn down a new set of dice. But if they already have so many sets, what do you get them? A typical game store in town won’t be the place to go. We recommend going online to Etsy and finding dice makers. These creators have a variety of interesting, unique, and whimsical products in their shops. Some even give you the option to customize, adding personalization to your gift.
The Cosplayer
By asking some questions, you can get to know about the character your friend plays. While you don’t need to buy them a full cosplay set, there are some things you can do to let them wear their character while playing their game.
- A customized t-shirt with their character name on it
- A necklace with a symbol related to their character (if their character wields a war hammer have it be a war hammer)
- A hat that their character wears (if they play a pirate, get them a pirate hat)
- An accessory that their character wears (a pair of white gloves, a flower crown, a red scarf, steampunk goggles)
- A customized dice mat or box with colors or designs related to their character
The Game Master
Most Game Master’s always have need of fun, new accessories for their games. Be mindful how big of a playing space your friend has. If they have an entire room and storage devoted to gaming, you can go big. But if they just have a re-purposed small space, give them something easy to store away.
- High-quality terrain from Dwarven Forge
- “Condition” rings that show if characters are currently Paralyzed, Poisoned, Charmed, etc
- A set of dry erase 2D maps for a variety of locations
- A Bluetooth speaker to play music through
- A fun dice tower to roll large amounts of dice with
