For the last 6 years I've been selling wooden cases housing displays to show off digital maps. The "holy grail" for me has always been integrating touch functionality so when you move your physical mini, a digital token reveals the map.

I did a Kickstarter back in summer of 2024 with this design. I have since moved on to a different technology that is much lighter and more affordable (infrared). Out with the old, in with the new! I don't have the space to store this and wanted to find it a good home on here.

It is a 43" capacitive touchscreen. It's an all-in-one but without compute. You hook it up via USB+HDMI to a laptop. It is the same model as shown here, listed for $940: https://a.co/d/0bcxhZPW

Leave a comment (not a reply) and I'll be using redditraffler to select a winner on Monday February 9th. The winning account must be at least 3 months old.

Due to the size, I will only provide shipping within the United States. If you are outside the US, you would need to use a freight forwarding service with a US address and deal with any import issues. That can be quite expensive.

Regardless of whether you win, everyone is welcome to use my free software to run setups like these. I made a post about it the other day on here: https://www.reddit.com/r/DnD/comments/1qgnroz/update_to_my_free_vtt_for_inperson_sessions_with/

Since it is aimed for in-person sessions only, you should find it very easy to use compared to other options. Everything runs locally, 100% free no strings attached. Windows, Linux, and PC. There is also a browser version of the player view for players to move their tokens on their phones or laptops.

EDIT: forgot to thank u/uchideshi34 for the map shown here. It, along with over 440 others, are bundled free with the software!

EDIT2: I figured there would be a large response, and was not disappointed. Thanks all! I am 100% committed to making a new guide to building your own now. I wrote one 5+ years ago when I first started but it disappeared into the void: https://www.reddit.com/r/DnD/comments/jgx0bo/guide_to_building_a_map_case_for_a_tv_digital/

Long story short: you can have a nearly identical setup for about $550 if you DIY. Rough estimate of cost:

$200 43" TV (doesn't need to be top of the line)
$200 Infrared touch frame from Amazon (make sure it's 20 points)
$50 acrylic sheet (Ace hardware and some big box stores will cut it for free)
$100 wood + brackets

You don't need a bunch of tools, just a handsaw and a screwdriver really. I will make a new guide as soon as I have time and post it on r/DnD

39 sessions later (we usually play monthly) my party has cleared LMoP leading in to ToA!

It has been an absolute blast and honour running this madcap adventure for them and I couldn't have done it without all your helpful insights. A very heartfelt thank you to this amazing community!

Time to take a short break and hopefully homebrew for the first time what is to be the 3rd and final arc for their campaign.

this was my first ever commission, and it took well over 20 hours, but i’m proud of it, and my friend loved the result! ^^ i worked with him on the design, colors, etc. to bring his character vision to life.

my friend’s kenku bard has dragon scales mixed in with his feathers, and a coat with a feather collar that was made from his own preened feathers. on his back is his instrument of illusions. whenever he casts a spell in game, he plucks a dragon scale from his body and spins it in his hands.

it was a bit of a challenge to figure out how to incorporate dragon scales into his feathers without busying the design too much, so i opted to color code them with a sort of sickly green color that represents the curse blighting our party’s realm.

in addition, i’m not used to rendering my art so carefully and cleanly— my style is typically much messier, and i usually rush my process… but i actually enjoyed taking the time to clean things up, and it made for a final work that i’m truly proud of.

i would love to do more commissions like this in the future! i’m definitely open for new commissions; price is negotiable depending on the scope of the work.

Heyyyy I’m back to drawing more characters! This one was right down my alley and was a blast.

Might’ve gone a tad bit overboard on the ram motifs lol.

If you’ve got a character you want drawn you can comment on my old post to possibly get your characters drawn orrrr

you can check out my pinned post on how you can skip the line and get a drawing of your character that is maybe more what you imagined they’d look like.

Engine ready, steam blows by every pipes, the great fist is burning red… Garrick Voss, knight of the Iron Horses, ready to engage! Serving in the Iron Horses, a group of elite knights going full through the front door in heavy armor with steam engine and heavy iron first weapons.

I'm new here and I wanted to share my work. Saw some amazing characters and ideas and hope I can get some good feedback. Love to play some ttrpg with light system but a good old DnD once in a while is always good. Big barbarian fan here.

Valour is a homebrew Tiefling mapped with glowing red circuitry and defined by a shredded, scarred physique. She dominates the battlefield with mechanical wings feathered in magenta energy and a distinctive tail that vents excess system heat as bursts of fire. Her gear tells a story of survival. Yet, amidst the chrome and grit, she maintains a quiet ritual. She meticulously styles her hair and applies improvised makeup, a desperate daily act to preserve her sense of self and remind her that a living soul still burns beneath the metal.

This is not a negative rant ir anything like that, it is just a post to outflow my emotions.

We've been playing together for 6 years, I have been a forever DM always battling to schedule games. I host them at my house, I've invested a lot in books, a tv on the table, AC for the room, smart lamps and a 3d printer. We always had every need attended.

But, some of my players were never THAT invested in the games as others, we did the talk, we banned cellphones, we started allowing only paper character sheets so people wouldnt space out.

Nothing has ever worked. We (the invested players and myself) looked everywhere for players that actually wanted to commit and couldnt find them, so we worked with what we had aaaaaand it was miserable and enfuriating.

I dont mean to offend anyone, but they always played the ADHD card when called out by: not showing up on time, never remembering what their characters do, never roleplaying, never preparing their turns in advance and never playing attention to other people's turns.

We endured all of this for years just to have a little chance to play, but today I ended it. I feel a little sad, but I know it was for the best.

If you are in a situation like this, dont hang on. Nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky.

If you are one of my former players, know that we had a "good" run, and we already talked about not holding grudges and staying friends and 30ish years old adults should.

Anyways, thanks for reading.

Recently started playing a new campaign centering around Vecna where the first few sessions were a low level adventure involving us breaking up a small arm of the cult. We found an altar in the cultists’ lair that really stuck with me, so I set out to draw it as one does.

I finished a static version that I really liked and was happy with since the altar we found specifically just had a stone carving of the eye and hand. However, I still kept coming back. The next logical step in my mind way to have the eye flicking around in search of secrets, but I had at the time literally zero experience animating. Fast forward a couple days and some YouTube tutorials later and I came up with this simple GIF that I think captures the vibe I was going for quite nicely.

All in all it was a really fun learning experience, and I just wanted to share the results. It’s all hand drawn in Adobe Fresco on my iPad.

Most of us are familiar with a rat-killing quest of some sort. It's a common first quest in many RPGs.

I want to add some kind of twist to it. Perhaps the rats are intelligent and can be reasoned with, or maybe the quest is part of a trap set by the NPC giving the quest.

I made an updated artwork of my original character—a tiefling dragonborn mage I designed last year, inspired by DnD media and animations. This time, I wanted to push a stronger sense of perspective, so I leaned heavily on simple block shapes. She’s posed as if she’s just emerged from a dungeon or cave. The main updates were refining the curves of her horns, reworking her facial structure, and redesigning her belt.
