D&D Basics (Getting started)

The Absolute Basics

First you will want to grab either the Basic rules (Free), the Starter Set (Cheap), or the Players handbook, Dungeon Masters Guide, and Probably Monster Manual

Then you need to have at least a few items

• Dice (Phone apps will work if absolutely necessary, or these)
  
• Paper & Pencil (for notes)
  
• Character Sheet (In the free PDF or an app)
  
  The starter set is nice because it does a bunch of the work for you, it has an easy to follow adventure, pre-made characters, Dice, and rules for the DM and players. And at half the cost of just the players handbook AND including an adventure, it is an incredible value.
  
  Once you finish that then looking at at least a players handbook for the extra races, classes, backgrounds, and other things is a good deal. That should let you run free adventures people have put online.
  
  The DM's guide will let you get deeper into rules and the right way to call them, break them, and make them.
  
  The monster manual can be a great tool to make better encounters.
  
  If you want to run a commercial adventure after the one's included in the starter set, "Tales from the Yawning Portal" includes the Sunless Citidel, considered by many to be an excellent adventure for those new to the game and just recently brought up from 3.5e into 5e
  
  

  Common Tools of the Trade
  

  
  As you start running more complex adventures you are going to want to have a few tools to keep things moving, either as a player or as a DM.
  
  

  As a Player
  

  
  The bare essentials every players should have are listed above, but most players agree having a few extras can make the game run really quick.
  
  

  Spell Cards
  

  
  These cards have all the spells available for specific classes or from specific books on really well organized cards that make it easy to set aside your prepared spells and quickly reference all the core details.
  
  Cleric, Arcane, Ranger, Druid, Bard, Paladin, Martial Powers and Races, Xanathars Guide to Everything
  
  

  Binders & Sheet Protectors
  

  
  Keeping everything neat and organized can be a huge time saver and make it much easier for you to find what you need. Binders can be a great way to keep your notes and other materials organized. In addition many sheet protectors easily erase dry erase markers making it easy to keep track of spells and other changes without ruining character sheets with constant erasing.
  
  

  As a DM
  

  
  DMs have their work cut out for them. But a few simple tools can make the game run smooth and leave everyone having that much more fun.
  
  

  Index Cards
  

  
  A set of index cards can go a long way to speeding up the game. Players can put details on spells or magic items on them. You can prepare loot for the game ahead of time and hand it out allowing players to look over the gear as the game continues. You can also use them to hide portions of a battle map or commerical map to give the effect of fog of war.
  
  

  Game Mats
  

  
  A game mat let's you make single maps by drawing on them with dry erase or wet erase markers. Many are made of vinyl and can last a long time. Normally they will have either 1" squares or hex shapes.
  
  

  Minitures
  

  
  These things can be expensive, but giving your game that 3D upgrade and helping players better manage space in a game can be well worth it. You can use actual miniatures (Like those from Reaper), Create custom ones on Hero's Forge, or even just buy some cheap stand in tokens from Game Mash.
  
  If you just need a cheap way to keep track of positions army men, bottle caps, colored game pieces, and even legos can all play the role.
  
  No matter what you use, you can pick up colored rubber bands to mark status conditions or other information.
  
  

  Where Can I Play?
  

  
  You can find tons of places to play D&D.
  
  

• Get together a gaming group.
  
• Find a Guild or club in your area. Meetup.com,
  
• Most hobby shops and especially comic book and gaming shops offer games, usually Adventure League. WotC offers a tool to find stores here.
  
• /r/lfg can be a great way to find others to play online with.
  
• Play by Mail sites like RPoL allow you to play by forum post.
  
  

  Also:
  

  
  Critical Role - Voice actors playing DnD, Matt Mercer (The DM) is an amazing Dungeon Master and shows how the game should be played.
  
  Matthew Colville - Amazing videos on being a DM, must watch material for every DM. Even when your opinions differ he gives good reasons and great advice.
  
  

  Compendiums
  

  
  These let you ciew all the free open rules (SRD & Basic Rules) for D&D 5e at no cost.
  
  Roll20 Compendium - Has all the open rules for the game, so a good source for monsters, items, spells, etc.
  
  DnDBeyond - A more official source for the content, plus you can buy all the materials released by WotC to use, and has a great character builder.
  
  

  Adventures & Maps
  

  
  DMsGuild - Tons of free and paid adventures and other materials. The quality can be varying, but many are free and that can be great.
  
  /r/dndmaps/ - What more can they say, D&D Maps.
  
  Mike Schley Makes many of the maps for the D&D Adventures.

My guesses are :

I like :

- The idea. I'd like to try this game
- The limited options on character creation : Only one will have the +2 strength bonus, etc.
- Blank cards (maybe https://www.amazon.com/Dry-Erase-Index-Cards-Reusable/dp/B073K3CY52 ?)
- The idea of some card as item or as action ... but that lead me to the next part

I dislike :

- You try to replicate the character sheet AND a part of the rule book with your inventory card. I guess I will limit drastically the options here to reflect the attribute part : One big sword, one bow, one small dagger.

- It goes to complex : damage cards, metacards, I don't know. I expect simplicity here.

What I have in mind when you say "Traditional RPG without pen & paper" :

Parts of the cards are stables : the player keep it to represent the character : some attributes bonuses and penalties, some basics inventory (one weapon, one tool, one talent maybe ?). This can be "public" (on the table, in front of the player).

Other cards are moving : some cards are only scores (1-9 maybe ?) and replace the dices (please check the awesome Marvel "SAGA system" !!).

When the character needs to act : the player choose one "score card" in his hand + 1 for each "character card" that apply (strength and sword in a fight give you 2 cards, intelligence in an investigation gives you 1, etc) to beat your GM score.

If he get wounded you can reduce the size of the player's hand for exemple (Marvel !).

If you are blessed or leveled up, you rise the hand size !

At the end of the action, every one is refilling the hand (limited by their respective sizes).

This is awesome (like Marvel is) because you can use your cards wisely : keep the high score for the boss, throw your low score on less tragic actions,...

Happy happy cake day! And thanks for this contest! I had a lot of fun doing this!

No paper cards are going to hold up to years of use, a lot of home poker games end with throwing away the deck and casinos throw out cards constantly. If you want a deck that lasts you will need to look at plastic cards. The most famous brands are Kem and Copag and both are nice for different reasons (Copag feels more like paper but with IMO uglier faces, Kem are also more expensive.) You can see them both here:

https://www.amazon.com/Arrow-Bridge-Standard-Playing-Cards/dp/B000T61ZY0/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1482168466&sr=8-3&keywords=kem+black+and+gold

https://www.amazon.com/Copag-Bridge-Regular-Index-Playing/dp/B0023S1H40/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1482168496&sr=8-3&keywords=copag+black

This said, it also depends what you are doing with the cards. If it's for magic/flourishes you will not want to use plastic cards but if it's for card games then they are what you want. If you are using paper cards it's best just to buy in bulk and understand they will not last with any amount of handling. If you want exceptional quality paper cards that are cheap enough to buy in bulk, generally Tally-Ho are considered a high-quality standard:

https://www.amazon.com/Tally-Ho-Playing-Cards-12-Count/dp/B007P17LKE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1482168622&sr=8-1&keywords=tally-ho+playing+cards+12

Casinos themselves use Bee cards which are also of good quality and affordable in bulk.

https://www.amazon.com/Premium-Playing-Cards-Colors-vary/dp/B00TYTSJHO?th=1&psc=1

Monarchs and the like are beautiful but these are more like collector's items, paper absorbs oils and moisture from the skin, corners separate and wear and cards are easily bent. While Monarchs and this class of playing card are printed with special inks and foils making them very attractive, at the end of the day it does not make them significantly more durable than a standard deck of Bikes.

TL;DR: Paper cards will show wear after only hours of use, for applications besides cardistry one must consider plastic cards such as Kem or Copag.

These are pretty cute for pens/pencils/scissors/etc, and come in multiple colors!

This guy is also pretty neat for stickies and a pen to have on hand!

If you'll be dealing with business cards, I think [this mini cabinet] (http://www.amazon.com/Miniature-Cabinet-Business-Digital-PI-9617/dp/B0001YGN7O/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1404916030&sr=8-3&keywords=cute+business+card+holder) is adorable and professional!

And this little guy is ideal for sanitation holding :)

Decorate already! Thanks for the contest! :):)

The "preview before print" is a nice thing, and one I actually was looking forward to but it also sometimes keeps you from taking a chance. With the Analog cameras I find myself going through tons of film, getting bad shots but also getting really neat ones and there's something special about getting a shot that turns out fantastic after having no clue what you're going to get.

I have tried importing/printing my own photos but the quality isn't too great. The exposure is very tricky (anything light will often be over-exposed), so I probably won't be using it as much.. but still a nice thing to have!

The analog one doesn't have a release date yet. Most likely they're trying to get as many sales of this one before bringing that out. I'm guessing we might see one late 2017 or early 2018.

There was a leaked photo of it: http://www.fujirumors.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/Fujifilm-Instax-Square-SQ-715x720.jpg

If not Fuji, I'm sure MINT or LOMO will be happy to make one :)

As for displaying.. I'm still looking for a good solution. I have so many that I store them in these: https://www.amazon.com/Globe-Weis-Pendaflex-Fiberboard-Storage-3X5BLA/dp/B0036CRNK4

I have about 12-13 boxes full and they do a nice job of holding them.. but I really do want to find a nice album or wall-mount. Most seem to be designed for cheap price rather than quality, unfortunately.

I enjoy writing them out on blank index cards, and including some flourishes on the borders and such that go with what the item does (flames, animal prints, vines, whatever you think of regarding the purpose of the item). I like doing this because I always enjoy making things by hand that also don't take a ton of time, and sometimes this lets me have hidden information on the card that I can reveal later via blacklight. I'm a big fan of hidden power being unlocked by circumstances, and so the +1 shield that the Fighter found in a bandit stronghold may react when in the catacombs of a noble family that was loyal to the divine gods, granting it the ability to cast Light on itself three times a day and Searing Light once per day in the direction the shield faces. I then write this on there in normal ink afterward of course.

Oh my goodness you are a godsend!
I'm going to college right down the street from my house which happens to have one of the best nursing programs in the entire state! This is my last semester of prereqs before I can apply for the nursing school. I will be finishing my degree in biology and mathematics this winter! Being a nurse is my dream job ahh!!

Super handy binder thing

LIFE SAVERS for studying

Just under $50 :) Thank you SO much for this contest, you are the best ever! <3

As far as I know, they can send to every state. Maybe the rules don't apply since it's not from the campaign. You pay for the postcards

(https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00VW8RYCG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1)

These are the cheapest ones I found.

You pay for the postage and decorate them however you like. Some people are REALLY creative with them. My Indivisible group is going to do a party to do a ton of them down the stretch of campaign season.

I will say, someone on here who works for the Conor Lamb campaign said that they would rather us not go through Postcards to Voters because if we send them directly to the campaign they can better target who they get sent to. There are plenty of Republicans registered to vote as Dems. Honestly, I'd still do it (though not for Lamb. I'd just send it to them to respect their wishes). PtV said that people LOVE these cards. During the Doug Jones campaign, it got to be a thing where people would bring their postcards to the campaign office and they started hanging them up. They had a wall filled with them.

Three biggest things in my opinion:

1. Start early.
   
2. Keep notes simple.
   
3. Don't panic.
   
   
4. I'm sure you've heard it from every teacher and every student ever, but it's important. It doesn't have to be often, but make sure you keep on track with work/homework, and revise when you can (for tests etc.). Remember that the more you do now, the less you have to do near the exams.
   
   
5. The biggest problem I found is that I spent way too long making overly detailed notes. I'd recommend buying some revision cards. I bought those ones, and I used them to make notes on. They're good because they can be used in many ways (flashcards, general notes, diagrams) so you can test yourself, but due to their size, you don't over complicate your notes.
   
   
6. Don't panic! People, especially teachers, seem to be good at nothing apart from making you panic (you'll learn this isn't the case one day). You have two whole years yet, just make sure to revise little and often. Even 30 minutes a day at this point is still 30 minutes more than most of the people going into year 10, and you will thank yourself as you get nearer to the exams, trust me. The more you do now, the less you have to do nearer the time, and the less stressed you will be. Remember, it's a couple of months of pain for a lifetime of gain.
   

Of COURSE!

I got these little business cards: https://www.amazon.com/Fecedy-100pcs-Blank-Business-Message/dp/B01M9ANM0J/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1524834471&sr=8-3&keywords=business+card+blank

A cheap watercolor and paintbrush set: https://www.amazon.com/Watercolor-Variety-Quality-Brushes-Everything/dp/B01G7KHNWE/ref=pd_sbs_201_3?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B01G7KHNWE&pd_rd_r=BCHHR7BDEC6BWT64H4WC&pd_rd_w=UiU2S&pd_rd_wg=5teXV&psc=1&refRID=BCHHR7BDEC6BWT64H4WC

The watercolors were super easy to use, they blend quite well on the paper cards. I would start with a lighter color and then add a few drops of a dark and smoosh it all together into a big blob. Some of them look better than others, but taken together when they are hung in the clip card holder I have, they look nice.

My sister in law did the writing, she used a brush lettering pen I think. I was going to try and do it, but she has nicer handwriting than me. :)

Yeah, dry erase cards are the best cost:effort:effectiveness ratio for Brudiclad. The deck just makes so many different tokens and token copies of creatures that writing your own tokens on the fly is ideal. My playgroup knows to fear

Those infinitokens have a nice frame and probably really high quality but at 10 for $5 they're a bit expensive. You can get 48 plain ones for $7 on Amazon!

One fringe benefit of dry erase cards is the political capital you can gain by drawing up silly tokens for other people in the game. You're slightly less likely to attack the person that just drew you a Drake token with a dude in an orange coat leaning back smiling pointing at you on it!

Personally, I use the Getting Things Done system using 3x5 Notecards, a file box and some tabs for primary organization, and a hand case for day-to-day use. It keeps things super easy to organize, it's cheap to use and replenish, and it's flexible for tons of different tasks.

I've printed out calendars onto notecards, worked through /r/theXeffect, and taken notes that are easy to recategorize later using this system.

The only major thing to keep in mind is to keep up with the Getting Things Done system. If you let it lapse, it gets harder to catch up. The big advantage is that if you can keep up with it, you never have to worry about what's going on, what you're responsible for, or what you have coming up.

Stop starting your sentences with "So." It makes everything you say sound weak and uncertain.

Good luck with your card game. I've made a few CCGs in my time as well. Your best bet for prototyping is to use common lined notecards. I used to get the 3x5 cards and cut them in half. These are cheap, quick to make, and if you need to change the rules or how a card works/written instructions on a card you don't have to worry about working around artwork. You could also use blank playing cards, but those are just more expensive and aside from being a bit more sturdy don't offer much else in the way of function.

Once you get the rules set down and working well, and get the game to the point where the gameplay is fun and interesting, then you can start worrying about artwork and how the cards actually will look in a "production" version of the game.

But for now I wouldn't worry about how the game looks, because regardless of how nice it looks no one is going to play the game if it is boring.

I have a box full of them and use them liberally. Tons of secret notes are passed between everyone. If a character wants to make a Spot check they submit the note and I will make a roll in secret. They'll then get the answer written on the index card. Now it's up to them to share the information they received. I find it fun when they get a note that says "You think you see movement in the brush 20 feet away" and when they read it they respond out lout "My character freezes". The others then all want to make Spot checks as well now that they feel something is up and with no one knowing how well their roll was it sometimes turns into a little debate on what action they take. Perhaps there really was nothing there and everyone else's spot check succeeds and they see nothing. The group might start acting paranoid as if their spot checks had failed.

I guess its a decision between whether you like to know the results and have liberty role-playing those results, or if your group likes being kept in the dark and wrapped up in the suspense of it all.

I buy blank postcards but I don’t print on them and I don’t know if your printer would handle the size or if you could do the Amazon thing. Just in case here they are.

Surprisingly the cheap index cards at Walmart work pretty well for the price as long as you are using a finer nib or drier well behaved ink.

You're missing note cards! That's a huge mistake for a highschooler or (especially) a college student. I picked up over 500 note cards to prepare for this semester (college) and I don't even think that will be enough. Luckily you can get them super cheap at all the back to school sales. I got mine for .49/100 pack at walmart. Also, I'd get a couple of [these note card holders] (http://www.amazon.com/Oxford-01351-Plastic-Index-Holds/dp/B0007894EI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1406399977&sr=8-1&keywords=note+card+holder) to stay organized. I got one like that and one like [this] (http://www.amazon.com/Snap-N-Store-Index-Card-Black-SNS01573/dp/B002VCTQS2/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1406399977&sr=8-2&keywords=note+card+holder).

Don't suppose you play League of Legends, do you? Because I have been known to CAWCAW

I usually ask for surprises, buuutt this , or this , or a surprise at your discretion :)

Happy graduation! Have you picked a major for college?

Some college essentials for you: here, this, these

You can get actual library cards on Amazon for $10 or less. What about placing them all in a cute vintage box and asking guests to fill them out? You could write a quick note on the top of each card, or use a cute monogram stamp like this on each card.

Later, you can bind them altogether somehow or place them in an album.

Thank you!!

They're probably too wide, but I think your best bet is index card holders (4x6, same as a standard postcard).

Something like these 4x6 index card holders.

It's a bit insulting how incompetent you must think I am.

I've been kind to those suggesting that I search for "wallets" in this sub, because I recognize that they are simply trying to help. However, your spin on it is particularly irritating, because it insults my intelligence in the most condescending of ways.

In the realm of "things that hold credit cards", a wallet is a subset of those things.


>/ˈwälət,ˈwôlət/
>
>noun
>
>a pocket-sized, flat, folding holder for money and plastic cards.


Wallets focus on portability.

My question is more generic, since portability is not a concern.

Isn't it possible that there exists an item that holds credit cards that is not a wallet?

Is this a wallet?
https://www.amazon.com/Miniature-Cabinet-Business-Digital-PI-9617/dp/B0001YGN7O

So, you see, my post is substantially different from any involving wallets, since it does not exclude things that hold credit cards that are not wallets. As such, it is likely to attract thoughts from those in this community who may have avoided a post about wallets.

Does that clear things up for you? Or will you be gracing this post further with your unparalleled wisdom and search suggestions?

These $0.74 index cards Would be nice for studying once i go back to college.

• Carry a little stack with you with a rubber band.
  
  
• Put every single idea you have good or bad down on a separate card. https://youtu.be/74BzSTQCl_c?t=11s
  
  
• Put the card in the box.
  
  
• Go through the box once a week and just look at them.
  
  Don't worry about doing them. Don't worry about how good the ideas are. Don't worry about whether or not they've been done before.
  
  Just get them down. Because then you can let them go for now and get back to work knowing you haven't lost anything.

Offensive Business Cards by ThisIsWhyImBroke https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007TLC4YS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_VXuRAbW6REQBD

I bought these Offensive Business Cards from Amazon. They are great for various situations

Everyone needs [Offensive Business Cards!] (http://www.amazon.com/ThisIsWhyImBroke-OBC-1-Offensive-Business-Cards/dp/B007TLC4YS/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=19XIKAS79AJYG&coliid=I1CLDEXCIRVZK3)

Congratulations on your new job!

Look, I’ve tried all of the fancy digital tools, but at the end of the day I want to be the one in control. Instead of multiple digital things controlling me and overwhelming me. Sure, I use Google calendar, but I’ve also used fancy planner apps, to do list apps, timer apps, it just gets out of control. Ended up with way too many to dos in the app and not enough things actually done, and it just makes you feel bad.

I’ve come up with my own index card + holder system. I’ll link to the products shortly.

But basically, I am using vertical index cards, physically handwriting my todo‘s on them, crossing them out as they get done, then ripping up and throwing the index card away. There is a really nice leather index card carrier case that I found on Amazon, it has a pen holder, and I can drop that into my purse or laptop bag.

Edit: here’s the case

And here are the cards I like to use.

When it comes to ADHD, physical and written will always beat anything digital. Try it.

I think your paper thicknesses are off.

A ream of paper is generally 500 sheets and 2 to 2.5 inches thick. 25.4mm per inch 25.4 2.5 = 63.5 mm per ream. 63.5 / 500 = .127mm per sheet of not the thinnest paper. This calls into question the rest of the math...

It seems best to go directly to the dimensions from a notecard seller Amazon sells 3x5 note cards packaged in negligible plastic and measuring 0.8 inches thick. 0.8 25.4mm = 20.32mm per pack / 100 = .2032mm per card.


EDIT - Wording.

THESE!!! because they will serve as the building blocks to my first full-length feature film script that I'm going to write! (Here's an example of them in action.)

It's the weekend!

Thanks for the contest!

These are arriving Thursday, so I'm really excited to be extra passive aggressive now

Ah! Well grab a pack of Half-Sized Index Cards then!
