My kit is very similar, except I use an Android tablet (Galaxy tab s8+), Paizo flip mats instead of the chessex mat, I just use Yugioh cards and card sleeves as backings for my custom cards, and instead of wet erase I use Korean liquid ink board markers. They work like dry erase but are refillable and don't stain. I also bring a small box of painted Heroquest and D&D board game minis because I like painting and want to show off my work. I also make sure to have a charged usb power bank. I once ran a campaign using nothing but dice, my phone, and some index card size mini white boards just to see if I could. It went ok, but it didn't flow as well as I like. I had to draw any visuals by hand, and paging through phone apps isn't great. I got it streamlined after two or three sessions, but it still wasn't ideal.

I stopped using DM's screen decades ago. I roll most everything in front of the players (with any hidden rolls under my hand). If they want to look at the adventure module, they can, they're only cheating themselves. There's no me vs them as a DM's screen would suggest. It's a team effort to advance the story.

This is actually really helpful for a beginner DM who wants to introduce the game to someone too. It isn't that hard to put together and isn't very intimidating. I'm probably going to design something for a 3D printer for the tokens, because that is a really clever idea.

Hi! We use rings from a bottle (the ring that is connecting the cap to the bottle). For marking conditions on the battle field. The colours are corresponding with the condoom cards we use. And to mark how high a player is flying we use a d4/d6. Each number x10. That is in case of certain spells or if a player loses its concentration and falls. Apologies for my English! But I hope it helps :) Loved the video btw❤ Greetings from Holland🌷🇳🇱

11:57 "Tap the Icon" is actually a really good character name! 😄 1. I really like the multi-colored dice idea for noobs. 4:35 You could also use a die for showing elevation, d20 for example, in 5' or 10' increments, is up to 200' 10:11 I've been playing since the 80s, and I love that people still use pen and paper and real dice and still get together in groups to play. You can do everything digitally now, heck, you could play anywhere anytime with just your phone. But it doesn't compare to in-person, multi-sensory tabletop play. Not even VTT will change that. Also, to all you millennials and zoomers who grew up with this, screw you! Little bastards! (Sorry. I'm just super jealous!)

I compared the space above the dice box and looked up the measurements of the soundbox for reference. The measurements are 255x190x60mm if you are looking for anything with a similar volume. Even got mine in black, which looks a little nicer :)

I recommend also having a handy little "mini character sheet" that you can write an action on in wet/dry erase, along with the modifier. the attacks are hard to find for new players, so having the default ones written out (ie, fire bolt, crossbow, crossbow with sneak attack, etc) on a small (maybe 3"x5" card) that you can hand to the player as a reference is good. if you do it double sided, the other side can be for spells, with "Spell Attack" and "Spell Save" written clearly, with little dots to fill in for spell slots. alternatively, have a half dozen of martial and half dozen of spellcaster, and have a space for character stats on the back (ie, hp, AC, and saves) for useful info in combat. I made a custom sheet for my pathfinder character, with the bardic inspiration, spell slots, hp, and found it worked really well to keep track of everything. it was in a plastic pocket, so I could do dry erase over it, filling bubbles at a long rest and wiping them off when they were used.

Hi! I meant that I just asked for specific colors (from the colors available) on certain tokens and substituted Roman numerals for standard Arabic numerals. Otherwise all the icons are the ones SideQuest offers on their page. In other words, no custom symbols were requested. :)
