Mental note: Write out affirmations reassuring me that there will be no survivors.

[AlbertaGeek]

What's actually behind mine: flask of whisky, bottle of Tylenol, crying towel.

[andrlop]

I only use 2 sets of dice so I can have the satisfaction of saying "can I borrow 8d10s real quick?" to my players when they're in a tough encounter

[EmilyHoot]

i didn't even question the bucket of dice and i think that says more about me than anything else LMAO

[Marfall]

as a beginner DM, I have,

- the basic DM screen from wotc
- the AC and the passive perception of the players
- a list of words to describe attacks so I don't repeat myself too much (which my players told me I was doing after the first two sessions)
- my laptop to search for things I don't remember and stats block of ennemies
- blank pieces of paper to write inportant stuffs or fights
- a set of dies, only one, we're low levels so it's okay for now
- a beer (important) and a small bowl for my part of aperitifs
- a small note with "you can do it" written on it

Me, I'm behind my DM screen. I find not doing this can cause confusion in the players as to who are the players and who is actually herding the cats.

[darcyw]

I love the dice tower in the player side of the screen!

[dgregory]

The Sword bit never gets old. Its become something I look forward to in your videos. "How will it get worked into this topic"...I loved the "There will be no survivors" affirmation

[soldierbreed]

At this point we are all going to have to start throwing the "Sword of Ginny D" in our campaigns

[riuphane]

My solution for my minifigures has always been Legos. Players can customize and enjoy it. I can use a variety of creatures and customize things for each session. Any to top it all off, I have a reason to buy all sorts of strange sets just for minifigs and creatures!

[adjothemodest]

Knowing that even DM with such a huge audience replaces monsters with something like Funko-pop makes me feel so calm. Thank you for that info! Missing some expensive stuff often makes people stop their imagination.

[battlebardart]

Not me looking at the custom screen site knowing FULL WELL I only play digitally with friends states away...
but like MAYBE just a look.
Awesome video, Ginny! Thanks for letting a newbie DM take a look behind the screen!

[davidcarnan]

Dice, dice tray, laptop, binder with item cards and loot for the session, notepad & pen for initiative and scratch paper, a bundle of plastic tokens for DM inspiration, and a monocle.

[shonkshonk]

Best program to track monster HP and imitative is boring old Excel spreadsheets. With a bit of cell function and formatting knowledge you can set up a great system. Bonus is you can prep at work and look like you are doing something really important for the company

[yukaslash]

My game is online theater of the mind style game so my "DM screen" is a Notepad file with the important story beats and encounters, an initiative list with momster HP. Keeping it minimal allows me to focus on the important things and keeps the ADHD at bay.

[Tomyironmane]

We used spare dice instead of plastic counters or minis. It was great, because you could say, "The D4s are goblins, the D6s are orks, and the D12 is a troll." and you can set them on different numbers to tell them apart if need be.

[bryanillenberg]

I keep everything on my laptop.
Notes, Stats, art, even dice. Nothing is printed except very important magic item's that the players may get during the session.
(Oh, and I keep the DM screen upside down. Because its a Spelljammer screen and there is no "up" and "down" in space when outside of the hill sphere of a planet)

[cjgman]

I adore the video screen for projection of maps. Just wow. I didn't even think this was possible. Inspired

[Raging_Duck]

Where are all the snacks any DM needs to function?

[JimPekarek]

Your goblin boss cosplay fills me with immense joy, every time
