Ok so you have no money, which is generally true for most of us, but you still want to run as cool of a game as possible.

 

Here are some ideas to save cash and still enhance your gaming experience.

 

1. Buy bulk minis.  If you are going to buy minis, buy in bulk off of Craigslist or Ebay. (Check my full story on buying minis here.)
2. Spend time in the forums.  People retire from the game all the time (if even for a short time).  See if they are willing to give away some of their old maps, minis, or dungeon tiles.
3. Craft.  No, not the 3.5 D&D skill.  I mean learn to make your own.  There are lots of ways to make figures from origami to inventive uses of hot glue.
4. Second hand stores.  These are excellent places to find stuff that other gamers Mom’s threw out when they went to college.  You can get everything from cards to minis, dice, even books.
5. Print your own stuff.  You can make everything you need from character sheets to Dungeon Master screens yourself.  They may not have the polished look of a commercial product, but they will be useful. If you can find some free art and a color printer, you can make them look even better.
6. Visit DnDCorner often.  Or better yet, subscribe via email (link on the right).  I know, shameless plug, but everything here is free.  I do this because I love the game, and the techniques I use have saved me both time and money.

 Hope these ideas trigger a little less spending, and as always remember to have fun!
