If you want your players to keep better notes or your DM to enjoy their prep, a good journal goes a long way. Case in point, I love writing with my favorite type of pen and I do indeed write more with it. There’s an old piece of advice, if you like your tools you’re more likely to use them. And of course, make sure they don’t already have a dice container they love.

Look for something quality the person will love to have for a long time. That way I don’t have to pick out d10s from my dice bag every time we play World of Darkness. I have a nice, magnetic wooden tray I use to keep a set of d10s separate from the rest of my dice. Dice bags are most common, but you can also get a dice box, tray, or vault. Best if you combine them with a dice tray or dice tower. But, be careful with metal dice, they can damage wood surfaces. If you’re looking for something fancy, metal is the obvious choice. Or sets of d6 or d10 for Shadowrun and World of Darkness, respectively. Maybe some Star Wars dice, AGE dice, or Fudge dice.

Also, consider sets of dice that are not the standard seven polyhedral sets. I’ve purchased bulk dice before, sorted the individual sets and then let everyone roll off at the table to choose which dice sets they wanted.
#D&D DIY ULTIMATE DMG FULL#
This is a great gift for the GMs out there and gives them access to the full suite of tools and options available on Roll20 or Fantasy Grounds. If your D&D giftee already has a nice audio and video setup, consider instead a subscription to one of the virtual tabletops. It’s nearly impossible to game through a poor audio setup, or being drowned out by background noise. This can improve the video quality of your online sessions, but more importantly the audio quality. Instead, consider an HD webcam, a new USB mic, or a gaming headset combining headphones and a microphone. For hobbyists who aren’t heavy into the online gaming scene they probably need some better gear to play D&D online.

If your D&D gaming group survived quarantine and made the transition to online play, this is a good opportunity to update someone’s setup.
