I can't run my D&D games without this list of gadgets, books and other essentials — and as luck would have it, they're all on sale at Amazon right now

Dungeons and dragons paraphenalia with iPad and Bose speaker on a table

I've been playing and running Dungeons & Dragons games for 12 years now. I started off as a DM, and while I've been a player plenty of times, crafting the sessions has always been my first love. However, the way I play the game has changed a lot since then, as has the tools I use. As luck would have it, all these tools are on sale right now as part of Amazon's Spring Deal Days sales event — great news for any aspirant or experienced GM.

For one thing, a few years ago I started using a tablet with split-screen capabilities, such as the Samsung Galaxy Tab A11, with one side loaded with a doc of session notes, and the other with Samsung Notes open to track HP and jot down stuff. In-depth recording for taking detailed session notes for campaign planning I leave to Plaud Note, the AI transcription mic stuck to the back of my phone.

Of course, every DM needs the three core books (Player's Handbook, Monster Manual and Dungeon Master's Guide) which are all around 30% off right now. I pump pre-assembled playlists of fantasy mood music or dungeon synth through the Amazon Echo Dot Max at home or my trusty Bose Micro Soundlink when playing elsewhere. Finally, if you're into minis, there's a bumper pack of 50 Unique Fantasy Tabletop RPG Figures from Path at 28mm scale, featuring everything from mages to mind-flayers.
