# Essential Table Top RPG Supplies for Successful Campaigns
As an aspiring dungeon master (DM) or a seasoned veteran, making sure you have the right tabletop RPG (Role-playing Game) supplies can make or break your campaign. Whether you’re playing a classic game like Dungeons & Dragons or embarking on a Star Wars RPG adventure, the right gear can drastically enhance everyone’s gaming experience. Here’s a lowdown on the essential supplies you’ll need for successful tabletop RPG campaigns.
## 1. Dice
No RPG campaign can begin without a collection of multi-sided dice. A complete set usually includes a D20, D12, two D10 (00-90 and 0-9), D8, D6, and D4. Depending on the game and the DM, you might even need multiple sets.
## 2. Rule Books
Understanding the ins and outs of your chosen RPG is crucial. Ensure you have the core rulebooks for your specified game. Examples include the Player’s Handbook, Dungeon Master’s Guide, and Monster Manual for Dungeons & Dragons.
## 3. Character Sheets
Whether you choose to go digital or prefer the old-fashioned pen and paper, character sheets are a must-have. They help you keep track of all important character details such as their skills, abilities, equipment, and background.
## 4. Game Mat/Grid
A game mat or grid will help distinctly lay out the game’s physical dimensions, aiding players in visualizing the setting. You may also want to consider a mat with a grid for more complex battles and strategies.
## 5. Miniatures
Miniatures are small figurines that represent game characters and creatures. While not strictly necessary, miniatures enhance the visual experience and can enhance player immersion in the campaign.
## 6. Notebooks/Journals
Always handy for jotting down notes and important game details. Having a hard copy of vital information can be a life-saver when technology fails!
## 7. Snacks
Last but not least: snacks! Long gaming sessions can be tiring, and there’s nothing like a good mix of healthy and comfort snacks to keep the energy levels up.
So there you have it. These essential RPG supplies can help ensure that you’re fully equipped for a memorable, immersive, and smooth-running campaign. Happy gaming!
