Take Your Campaign Camping With These D&D Accessories
If you don’t have any camping plans for the rest of the summer, get your adventuring party together and make some.
Summer is a great time to go camping. Personally, I have about a weekend’s worth of camping in me per year until I switch from ‘Wow this is fun’ to ‘I hate bugs and I miss my bed.’ But that one weekend is a really good time. Talk your entire party into a couple of days of campfires and river tubing. And while you’re at it, bring some of these goodies and play your next session from the woods.
1. D&D Lights
Just because you’ll only be at the campsite for a few days doesn’t mean you shouldn’t make the space your own. And this string of light-up dice will do just that. They run on batteries so you won’t need to worry about where to plug them, and there’s a remote control and timer, so they don’t even need to stay on all night. Plus they’ll give you the perfect ambiance for a fun session of fighting monsters and finding treasure.
2. Dragon For Your Campfire
Camp fires are great, fun, one of the best parts of camping, and the only way to roast marshmallows in my opinion. but you know what would make one better? That’s right, a dragon’s head. This fireproof dragon-shaped “log” is the perfect addition to your campfire. Especially if you’re trying to establish dominance over any nearby dragons who’ve gotten any ideas.
3. Adventuring Cloak
Even in the summer, it can get cool at night depending on where your camping spot is. It may not get cold, but ‘I should grab my hoodie’ cool isn’t unusual. But you’re going for a D&D adventure vibe, so why not instead get yourself a nice cloak instead? If you can’t wear a cloak in the woods with all of your friends, where can you? Sure, the Ren Faire. But where else?
4. Color-Changing Fire Packs
Chances are you’re not as adept at magic as your character. But that’s okay, you can pretend. These packs will allow you to change the color of the flames in your dragon-shaped fire pit with nothing but the power of science. Just make sure you’re working with honest-to-goodness wood fires and not propane or gas “log pits” before you grab a box of these.
5. A Boring, Run-of-the-Mill Clipboard
We’re playing D&D in the woods, not no-rules-pretend and not LARPing (not that we don’t love both of these as well). This means you’ll have your character sheet, a few pens or pencils, maybe some spell cards, and of course your dice. How will you keep your sheets from blowing away? Where will you roll your dice?
With two storage spots inside and a heavy-duty clip on top, there’s room for everything with space for a huge makeshift dice tray under. Is it boring and practical to the point of being almost painful? Sure, but hear me out. A hundred D&D stickers will fix that in seconds.
Oh hey! BoLS might make a little dolla-dolla if you decide to buy these items. We need that money to fight the local dragon. For our fire pit.
