Of all the cool shows that Netflix has made, Stranger Things is arguably the most popular among us geeks. In the early episodes of the show, the kids were always playing Dungeons & Dragons, so it only makes sense that a special Stranger Things-themed Dungeons & Dragons starter set is on the way.

If you ever played Dungeons & Dragons and came up against an Illithid or the feared Mind Flayer, you know what difficulty lies in defeating the beast. You don’t have to roll a 20-sided die to capture this Mind Flayer and mount its head to your wall.

I’ve always been against using dice towers. I just never saw the point since I am perfectly capable of rolling the dice myself. But having said that, occasionally you roll really horribly and embarrass yourself. You have only yourself to blame.

If you have spent any amount of time playing Dungeons & Dragons or any other fantasy role-playing game that involves dice, you know the D20. This 20-sided die is the one that you go to when shiz gets real and you have only a slight chance of killing the Demogorgon.

Look at these children having the time of their lives playing Dungeons & Dragons. But if you showed a similar scene to some American parents in the early ’80s, they’d freak out and say that these children were being introduced to witchcraft and devil worship.

Having grown up playing Dungeons & Dragons with my cousins, I can tell you from experience that the game is quite fun and infuriating at the same time. It really depends on how big an a-hole your dungeon master is.

I’ve come to the conclusion that even if you buy the cookie dough that is offered in sheets during the holidays, your cookie cutter cookies will still come out more round and blobby than you expect.

Redditor mz4250 has been playing Dungeons & Dragons for 17 years. Recently, he decided it was time to give back to the community. He ended up making 3D models of most of the D&D monsters, with a couple of bonuses thrown in.

A couple of months ago we checked out a free 3D template for a D20 die with Braille markers. If you’re interested in owning one but don’t have access to a 3D printer, check out 64oz Games’ Kickstarter fundraiser for a set of Braille polyhedral dice.

The cool spellbook gaming boxes we featured earlier this month have become a hit on Kickstarter. As of this writing Elderwood has raised nearly $190,000 (USD) with 8 days to go, eclipsing its $5,000 goal. The final products look a lot like the prototypes that Elderwood shared a few weeks ago, except now they’re narrowed down to two main types.

The food container industry owes much to avid board gamers and tabletop RPG players. But that could change with Elderwood Boxes’ upcoming offering. They’re gaming boxes that look like life-size spellbooks. The images below feature prototypes, but they’re already very promising.

D & D is an awesome game. All you need is your imagination. Build a character and have an adventure. It’s so easy that just about anybody can play it. Even those who can’t see can get in on the fun thanks to things like this cool D20 for the blind.

Redditor mrdeepimmersion wanted to apply for a game design job at Wizards of the Coast’s Dungeons & Dragons team. Thinking that his electrical and computer engineering background put him at a disadvantage, he decided to show off his creativity by making a 70lb.

“As you’re running, you trip over your sagging jeans, so you take a -2 to your street cred.” Most tabletop RPGs are set in alien worlds and times long gone or have yet to come. But YouTuber Justen Mann and his crew show us that roleplaying as your contemporaries can still be fun.

Check out this Dungeons & Dragons themed cake. It was made for Vin Diesel’s 48th birthday. No doubt he ate it fast and furiously, then got a stomach ache. Yes, Vin Diesel is a big D & D fan.

Wyrmwood’s dice tower system consists of a dice tower, a dice tray and a dice vault. The dice tower’s parts are held together by rare earth magnets so you can easily assemble or disassemble it. But dice towers are nothing new, and you can already buy ones that are easily taken apart.
