Beauty Is In the Eye of This D&D Beholder Hoodie

Dungeons & Dragons is filled with all kinds of macabre and imaginative monsters. Among them is the Beholder, also known as the “Sphere of Many Eyes,” is a blobby creature with ten eyeballs on tentacles, a cyclops eyeball, and loads of gnarly teeth in what is described as its “massive, gaping maw.” Now you can bring a Beholder with you wherever you go.

This awesomely creepy Beholder hoodie comes from artist Brock Hofer, and the For Fans by Fans shop. It’s features a terrifying interpretation of the monster with glowing yellow eyeballs, surrounded by all kinds of gory textures.

Done up in shades of red, purple, magenta, and yellow on every surface, the hoodie has a slim fit, along with ribbed cuffs and hem. It looks especially great on Satine, who modeled the demonic looking hoodie here:

You can grab the D&D Beholder hoodie from For Fans by Fans for $65. It’s available in sizes from small to 3XL, so no matter your shape or size, you can enjoy this creeptacular design.

Dungeons and Dragons D20 Lamp Lights up Your Game

If you’re into Dungeons and Dragons or other tabletop gaming, then you might want to give this lamp a tumble. You see, it looks just like a 20-sided die (aka “D20”), only bigger… like 10 times bigger.

The USB-powered lamp is official Dungeons and Dragons merch, and features a dragon in the place of the 20 on one of its faces. It measures about 7.5″ tall, and gradually cycles between colors.

I suppose you could roll this thing when it’s unplugged, but I’m gonna bet that it’s not properly balanced for truly random rolls, given the electronics inside, never mind the fact that you might break it. Better off just turning it on and admiring it while it sits there on the shelf. You can grab one of these over at Firebox for $37.99.

‘Baldur’s Gate 3’ comes to Steam in 2020 as an Early Access game

It took a while, but Larian Studios is narrowing down launch plans for Baldur's Gate 3. Hasbro (which controls Dungeons & Dragons owner Wizards of the Coast) has confirmed at the New York Toy Fair that the long-anticipated role-playing sequel wi...

Rick and Morty Meet Dungeons & Dragons

What’s better than Rick and Morty? Well yeah, a new season, I hear that. But aside from that, if you add in some Dungeons & Dragons action, it makes everything better. And crazier. This officially-licensed Rick and Morty merch is the ultimate crossover.

Have you ever played an RPG campaign with Rick and Morty characters? Now is your chance. The Rick and Morty vs. Dungeons & Dragons comic book miniseries have been collected in one awesome comic with a GameStop / ThinkGeek exclusive cover by Mike Vasquez.

But this is so much more than a comic book. This edition has character sheets, extra art, and an exclusive module to play the events of the comic as your next D&D campaign. Nice. Read it, play it, live it. A fun adventure through the multiverse awaits. Play time is about an hour to two hours, but you can always extend that to however long you want.

Come on, you know that you’ve been itching to roll up your character as Pickle Rick. This will be a lot of fun for fans of the hit animated series or as we used to call them, cartoons. Grab your copy now at ThinkGeek for $24.99.

This DIY D&D Dice Calculator Rolls Your D20 for You

Dungeons and Dragons can be intimidating for new players for many reasons. There are a lot of stats to keep track of, character traits to consider and you better get used to rolling a lot of dice. Well, this custom calculator takes care of your dice rolls for you at least.

It was created by Caleb Everett and will certainly make your game easier and geekier. The software he put together will not only roll the dice, but it also adds up all the faces, saving you some trouble. Caleb wants to add more advanced software features in the future like increasing the likelihood of rolling numbers that haven’t been seen in a while. Although, that kind of defeats the purpose of random dice rolls if you ask me.

Under the hood, it packs an Adafruit Feather M0 Express controller board, a 128 x 32 OLED display, and a 2200 mAh lithium ion battery so it can go anywhere.

Hopefully, it works great in real game situations. You could always use a smartphone dice rolling app, but if you ask me this is much cooler. Now if it could help you to create your character as well, it would be perfect.

TableTop Tokens Takes D&D to the Next Level

Back in the day, a D&D session required nothing but a big bag of dice, a few geeks, and a surface to roll those dice on. That’s still how most people probably play the game, but a Kickstarter campaign has turned up for something called TableTop Tokens. These are flat plastic items that you can use to give more visual appeal to your made up quests and battles.

There are four sets of illustrated, two-sized tokens available including rooftops, dungeons, graveyard, and a town market. Combined with a playing mat and your character figurines, the pieces help make your tabletop RPGs more immersive.

You can pick up a single set or the tokens in any style you want for $15, $30 for two sets, $45 for three sets, and $52 for all four sets. You can also order them in digital form for personal use. The sets are expected to ship in April 2019.

Critical Failure D20 Dice Drop the F Bomb

In games like Dungeons and Dragons, rolling a 1 is the worst news you can get. It means that you have critically failed at whatever task you are attempting. It often elicits the F word from the mouths of those rolling the die. Well, the good news is that these dice say it for you.

These Critical Failure D20 dice are made by Etsy seller MarsDice. The 25mm dice have ‘F*CK’ printed on one of their sides instead of a ‘1’. So now you don’t even have to open your mouth. These dice say it for all to see. They are available with a silver or gold finish, and cost $18 each. That price doesn’t really make sense because I had to use the swear jar like 100 times before I had $18. How does that convert to 1 single F word on a die?

My advice to nerds is not to look at rolling an F-bomb as a failure, but rather that you had a 1-in-20 chance of getting one. You know, always look on the bright side of life.

Chain Mail Dice Bag Adds +5 Protection

One of the things that goes along with a spirited game of Dungeons & Dragons is a bunch of dice. Sometimes a DM needs to protect said dice from the minions he is lording his power over during a game. I’ve been involved in some rather “spirited” games before and it wasn’t at all uncommon for a 20-sided die to get hurled at someone’s testes. Be on your guard.

If you want to protect your dice, and thereby protect your parts from hurled objects this chain mail and rubber gaming dice bag is the ticket. The bag is sized to hold 2 to 3 dozen polyhedral dice, depending on their shapes and sizes. It’s made from rubber and aluminum rings, and closes with a fake leather cord. It measures 5″ tall and has an 8″ opening to let your Cheetos stained fingers inside with ease.

ThinkGeek offers the bag for $12.99.

Crit Success D20 Beanie and Scarf Has 1-in-20 Chance of Keeping You Warm

It’s only June, but you don’t have to travel very far in Colorado to find snow still on some of the taller mountains. If you head to a higher altitude before noon on any morning and it feels like winter never left. Before you know it, kids will be in school and snow will be blowing in and you need a good chance of keeping yourself warm. Like a 1-in-20 chance.

This Crit Success D20 Beanie and Scarf Set will keep you toasty when the cold weather arrives. It comes with an 84″ long double-sided scarf with eight red D20s on each side and fuzzy tassels at the end. The beanie, or toboggan hat as we call them where I’m from, has a single D20 on its folded-up brim. Sadly, these one-size-fits-all hats rarely cover my ears thanks to my case of cranium enormous.

Dungeon masters, you can get your D20 beanie and hat at ThinkGeek for $29.99.
