D&D Accessories: Vintage D&D Stuff For Old School Adventurers

There are D&D accessories that are vintage, accessories that are new, and accessories that are new but meant to look vintage.

1. Demon Idol Dice Tower

We’re going back to first edition’s Player’s Handbook cover by D.A. Trampier is an iconic piece of D&D history and features this super recognizable fiend. And now he’s featured in 3D in dice tower form. Remove the head topper to toss your D20 down for a fair and random roll, or just keep him in the middle of your table as a unique and very on-brand centerpiece. The fire even lights up for when your game needs a little mood lighting.


2. D&D Knowledge Poster

This poster reminds me just a little of being in school and spending way too long staring at the posters the teacher had chosen to decorate their room with. This basic breakdown of general D&D knowledge looks older than it is with faux stained paper and a color scheme that feels twenty years old, but it’s a brand new and very helpful breakdown of everything you’ll need to know to start playing Dungeons and Dragons. Chances are if you’re ready to purchase this for your wall you’re past the point of needing basic D&D info, but what if there’s a newbie joining your party?


3. A Leather Journal

This is a brand new notebook with beautiful blank pages for all of your session note taking needs. But it looks like an old book that you pulled off of your grandparent’s bookshelves. In a fantasy setting, this looks like the sort of old book you’d find all sort of magical spells or important in game information in, and now you can keep all of your important in game information in this very notebook.


4. This Awesome T-Shirt

Neither the shirt itself nor the meme it’s referencing are particularly vintage, but the color scheme, style, and faux faded look are all meant to make you think they are. And honestly, sometimes we’re just looking for style over age honestly. The Mean Girls inspired design is the perfect sassy and fun energy you want to bring to the table. In fact there’s a good chance somebody at the table made a similar joke today. Did they? Be honest.


5. Healing Potion Pillow

This design on this pillow makes me I feel like a snake oil salesman should be yelling at me in-game. Doctor Yuan-Ti’s Miraculous Heal-All. Except in D&D there really is a healing potion cure-all. You may not need another throw pillow on your already mostly obscured couch, but why not add another to the pile? This one is pretty hilarious.

What vintage or vintage style items would you add to your D&D collection? Do you prefer actual vintage or new things styled to look old? Have any of our picks made it onto your wish list? Let us know in the comments!

Happy Adventuring!
