Have A Pool Party With These D&D Accessories
Soon it’s going to be hot out, and throwing yourself into some water is going to sound great. But that doesn’t mean D&D needs to be rescheduled.
It is almost that time of year where it goes from “pretty nice” out to “oh no, why does the air hurt my skin?” Maybe it’s already that warm where you live. And on those days, throwing yourself into a pool is a great way to beat the heat. But why should a pool day interrupt your next all-day D&D session? Combine the two and have your next adventure from the comfort of a floaty with these accessories.
Floating Game Table
This accessory wasn’t made with tabletop gaming in mind, but we can make it work! The floating game table is meant for playing cards. Still, all of those same features make it great for D&D. Complete with cup holders and a place to keep your spell cards, minis, pens, or whatever else you’ll need at the table, up to six people can comfortably hang out for as long as the adventure lasts. Your game can float now.
Waterproof Character Sheet
One of the biggest obstacles between us and a water-based D&D session is the character sheets. Traditionally printed on paper, your sheet would dissolve if it got wet. And let’s be honest, it would get wet. Luckily, plastic character sheets are a thing! Usually, these are meant to be dry-erase solutions to constant erasure marks on paper sheets. But they work just as well in the pool.
Pool Time Dice
If your adventuring party is taking a dip, your dice should also look ready. Sure, rubber duckies are more of a bath-time staple than a pool-day one, but these guys look so cute and happy floating in the tiny little pools that they deserve to join the party. Of course, if rubber duckies aren’t your style, there is no end to the fun, themed dice, and I’m sure you’ll find the summertime set of your dreams.
Inflatable D20
Dice that look like they belong near water are cute. But what about dice that you can roll in the water? For those big, important rolls, you can roll the giant, inflatable D20. And the entire pool can be your dice tray! This thing is massive and comes in a whole bunch of colors. But most importantly, it’s a half-dice, half-distracting pool toy that will drive your DM bonkers.
D&D Hat
Something I have to watch out for during a good pool day is sunburn. I’m about as pale as the paper my character sheet is printed on, and I get about as red as the D&D logo in no time. Sunblock is a must. But hats really help, too. Between protecting the top of your head and face and keeping the sun out of your eyes, you’ll want a fun D&D hat for your pool day D&D adventure.
Oh hey! BoLS might make a little dolla-dolla if you decide to buy these items. We need that money to buy and install a new pool in our backyard.
