YBMW 2021 Holiday Gift Guide – RPG And Gamer Accessories

FOB Of Fate D20 Keychain
$16.95 • Forged Gaming • Get Yours Now

There are two types of people for whom you should buy the Fob of Fate for this holiday season. The first is anyone who games. It’s a beautifully made, metal D20. Anyone who appreciates dice would be happy to have this hanging off of their keys. The other type of person who you should buy this for is your indecisive friend. You see, this isn’t just a keychain. You can separate the die from the chain and now you have a functional D20. When they named this the Fob of Fate, it’s because now you can roll to help you answer all of your life’s questions. Everyone knows at least one person who needs that in their life. And, with 14 different styles available, there will definitely be one that strikes your fancy


Forged Grim Bones Reaper Dice Tower
$79.99 • Forged Gaming • Get Yours Now

We have a few dice towers in this year’s guide, but this is the most ornate by any measure. We loved the Grim Bones Reaper Dice Tower because it was so substantial. This tower is 11” tall and 8” wide and it fits all standard dice. It’s beautifully painted and, oh, and did we mention that it lights up? We really can’t say enough about how awesome this dice tower is. It looks like it belongs in a heavy metal video, and that makes us love it even more. If you have anyone in your life who games and appreciates a good skull or grim reaper motif, this is just about the most amazing dice tower you could buy them. 


Forged Mimic Chest Dice Box
$39.99 • Forged Gaming • Get Yours Now

Dice Bags are the standard storage device for gamers, but let’s face it, bags are boring. Mimics however are not boring. They are crazy and often disturbing but never boring. The idea of a treasure chest actually being a mimic is something that every tabletop gamer and D&D player knows all too well, so why not roll with it and use a mimic chest as your own personal dice storage?  This dice box looks normal on the outside, but when you open it up, it’s downright gruesome. The inside is a gaping maw of fangs and palettes. If you saw one in real life, you’d run as fast as you could, but since this one is your’s, you can use it to store up to five full sets of gaming dice in it at the same time. It’s awesome and practical!


Forged Mimic Chest Dice Box
$36.99 • Forged Gaming • Get Yours Now

If you are looking for a truly unique holiday-themed item for the RPG player or D&D fanatic on your gift list, we can’t think of a better idea than the Monstrous Merrymakers Mimic Ornaments from Forged Gaming. We loved the idea of taking classic Christmas decorations and then turning them into mimics. It almost reminds us of when Jack Skellington takes over Christmas and starts sending evil presents to all the girls and boys. From one side, these hand-painted ornaments just look like an innocuous Santa Hat, ornament bulb, and present, but when you spin them around, you find out they actually mimics and they are here to party… and probably eat you. They’re creepy but cute, and they deserve a place on any respectably geeky holiday tree.


Forged Draco Castle Dice Tower & Dice Tray
$31.99 • Forged Gaming • Get Yours Now

One challenge that a lot of RPG and tabletop gamers have is hauling all of their stuff to their friend’s house when it’s time for game night, so we wanted to try and find some gaming accessories that would solve that problem and make their lives a little easier. One of the most beautiful folding dice towers and tray sets that we found was the Draco Castle Dice Tower from Forged Gaming. When in use, this is a full-sized dice tower and tray, but when you are done, you just unsnap the magnets and it folds down to a compact 9.5” x 11” x .75”. Along with the stunning design, one of the favorite features we found is that the padded insides of this dice tower make it one of the quietest dice rolling experiences we’ve had in our lives. Any gamer would be honored to have this in their bag of gaming accessories. 


Hex Magnetic Folding Dice Tray (Gaming)
$16.99 • Forged Gaming • Get Yours Now

Continuing on with amazing, portable gaming supplies, we really love the hex Magnetic folding dice tray from Forged Gaming. There are a lot of rectangular and square dice trays out there, but we think dice roll better when they aren’t being cooped up in four sides. Aside from that, this beautiful dice tray is made from dragonhide on the outside and a silky velvety fabric on the inside. This is not only gentle on your dice, but it solves a major issue that we have with some dice trays… it’s nice and quiet! In the end, one of the coolest features of this dice tray is more about when you aren’t using it, than when you are. It packs flat for easy transport and then snaps right into shape thanks to the built-in magnets when you are ready to play.


Citadel Dice Tower and Dice Tray
$45.99 • Forged Gaming • Get Yours Now

If you’re looking for an all-in-one solution for your dice handling needs, you can’t go wrong with the Citadel Dice Tower and Tray. This easy to transport, foldable unit is not just a great (and quiet) dice tower, but it is also a dice tray, and dice storage that lets you stage four sets of dice. When folded up, the tower collapses down to 13 inches x 6 inches and 2.5 inches tall. It’s made out of the same excellent materials as the Hex dice tray, but the fact that it includes a full dice tower and storage makes this one of the best dice accessories on the market. 


Wyrm Blood Set of 7 Metal Dice
$42.99 • Forged Gaming • Get Yours Now

Dice are one of the most important and personal accessories that any gamer can own. Choosing the right set for yourself can be a big decision. We love metal dice because there’s nothing that matches the weight and feel of them in your hand, or the way they roll. This is the first of three great dice sets that you should check out from the team at Forged Gaming. The Wyrm Blood dice set is one of the most beautiful sets of dice we’ve ever seen. Made from Aluminum-zinc allow, and with deeply stamped numbers that are accented with hand-painted, crimson coloring, you can and see the quality as soon as you pick them up. The set comes with a D20: 23mm, D6: 16mm, D12: 20mm,  D10: 18mm, D%: 18mm, D4: 19mm, D8: 15mm. You can’t help but feel like you are on an epic quest every time you roll one on the table or drop it into your dice tower. One little note, if you loved the Grim Bones dice tower that we mentioned, this D20 is just a hair too big to fit, but the rest of the set fits perfectly. A great bonus with this dice set is that it comes with a great little collectible storage tin that includes foam inserts so that your dice don’t get all dinged up in a dice bag between sessions.


WaffleWow! Dungeon Heroes Waffle Maker
$39.99 • WaffleWow! • Get Yours Now

If you have a D&D player on your gift list or anyone who loves RPGs and fantasy, we’ve got something for you that is going to make their breakfasts a little more magical. The Dungeon Heroes Waffle Maker from WaffleWow! Gives you the great waffles that you’ve come to expect from the company, but in really fun fantasy shapes that include a 3D fighter, rogue, cleric, ranger, and wizard. Forget about breakfast being the most important meal of the day, when you’re deciding whether to bite the head off of your rogue or drown your ranger in syrup, your breakfast has become a full-blown campaign!


Monster Adventure Terrain – 173pc Painted Core Building Set w Baseplate
$69.99 • Monster Protectors • Get Yours Now

Great starter set for new DMs! I got this for my husband for his campaign and he loves it! It was a great upgrade from the dry erase mat. The stackable pieces really made it easier to visualize where our characters were and what obstacles were in the way. Looking to buy more of the other sets! 


Monster Adventure Terrain – 141pc Painted Cavern Expansion Set w Baseplate
$55.99 • Monster Protectors • Get Yours Now

I wanted to get some terrain for my campaign that was more than 3 pieces and didn’t break the bank. This set fits the bill pretty well. My campaign is a homebrew cave crawler, so this set being cavern-themed and customizable is a big help! Definitely recommend it for anyone looking for affordable terrain.


Monster Adventure Terrain- 128pc Painted Castle Expansion Set with Baseplate (Gaming)
$55.99 • Monster Protectors • Get Yours Now


This expansion set is a great addition to the core building set.  While the core set has a great collection of basic stackable building blocks and terrain blocks allowing you to layout a great scene, it lacks the details that really bring a castle to life.  That’s where this expansion comes in, including more stackable basic blocks to really add weight to your castle set piece and more terrain blocks to expand the land around the castle, 

but it also includes: 

  • Battlement blocks complete with merlons and crenels for stalwart defenders to shield themselves behind
  • A drawbridge to add that classic spice to a party escape or daring infiltration
  • A great big entrance gate for added grandeur
  • A variety of doors to set the tone of your setting, such as a bar door, for your city taverns, or a prison door for your BBEG’s dungeon, or a vault door for your dwarven treasures.
  • An additional base plate.  With the base plate from the core set, you can set up a castle with two levels easily stacked and separated at play time for multi level play.

One thing I really like about this set ( and the others in the line ) is that the blocks and tiles have enough detail to set a scene without having so much detail as to 

be distracting, and you aren’t prevented as GM from adding your narrative flair.  Some other products tiles I have seen are so detailed that you can’t really flavor them, the tiles 

push their own design into your narrative, instead of acting as a set piece. 


Monster Adventure Terrain – 141pc Painted Cavern Expansion Set w Baseplate
$35.99 • Monster Protectors • Get Yours Now

This is a pretty well-rounded collection of common scatter terrain every DM could use in their game.  While this set doesn’t have any building blocks of its own, it does have some pretty neat additional terrain tiles not included in the core terrain set.  

You’ve got your wood plank tiles, perfect for a tavern floor, or wooden dock, you have your trap door tiles, perfect for rat-infested cellars to throw your level 1 players into, foliage tiles, great for your elven towns, and elegant limestone tiles for your nobles main hall.  

In addition to the interesting terrain, you have a solid collection of scatter terrain to add depth to indoor scenes, with storage in all the common shapes and sizes, as well as the always sought-after treasure chests. 

With the generous addition of 30 ladder sections, you can have ladders as tall or short as you could need for your players to climb -or fall- down.  While probably not enough by itself to set a scene, this set when combined with another terrain set can really multiply the immersiveness of your set. 


Monster Adventure Terrain Tiles
$55.99 • Monster Protectors • Get Yours Now

I bought the core set a while ago and decided I needed more. Being able to mix in the different terrain tiles really helps up the challenge rating on my encounters. Also makes it easier to show my players that the floor is actually lava. The tiles are also available in different woods, water, grasses, dirt, and almost every other terrain you can think of. 


Dungeons & Dragons Role Play Game Custom Ceramic Sculpted Cookie Jar
$49.95 • Bioworld • Get Yours Now

Are you looking for the perfect cookie jar to keep treats for game night or when your friends come over for your weekly D&D session? Then we suggest Bioworld’s ceramic Dungeons and Dragons tower cookie jar. It holds plenty of cookies to keep your group charged up for the night and if your DM has a good imagination, you can even incorporate the tower into the quest. What better treasure at the end of a quest than actual real-life cookies?


Dungeons and Dragons Dice Pen and Pencil Cup Holder
$14 • Bioworld • Get Yours Now

It’s always great when you can find a way to bring one part of your life into another part of your life. For example, if you love D&D, but you work in an office, something like a pencil cup shaped like an officially licensed Dungeons and Dragons D20 could be perfect. Honestly, this looks equally as good on the desk of your favorite gamer as it does on a shelf at home as just an awesome display piece.  This ceramic pencil cup is 4”x4”, making it big enough to hold plenty of pencils and pens, but small enough that it doesn’t become a space hog on your desk. If you have any gamers on your list this year, this is a great little gift to add to the mix.
