The DM’s Job Just Got Easier With Dungeon Dressing Dice
February 26, 2018 by deltagamegirl22
Incognito Solutions Inc. is on Kickstarter right now with a clever little role-playing/storytelling tool called Dungeon Dressing Dice...
Now you can populate your rooms and story with the roll of a dice based on various traditional role-playing settings.
The dice will dictate what's in the room and help generate the narrative by presenting different terrain and objects for players to interact with.
The dice come with a variety of themes including King's Castle, Dark Tavern, Lord's Manor, Deep Dungeon, Ancient Ruin, Priest's Temple, Wizard's Tower and Rowdy Tavern.
Each set comes with 8 dice (1 from each theme) featuring different images on each side to dictate what you might find in that area.
Whether you use the dice as literal items that are represented in your games or not, they provide a great storytelling mechanic to encourage players to use their imaginations.
To me, these sound like a perfect tool for someone new to DM-ing (is that a word?).
Will you be adding some Dungeon Dressing Dice to your RPG toolkit?

Nice dice for Fabled Realm’s?
These look great. But is Rory a part of this? These are basically his story cubes. I certainly hope he is involved… I’ve done story dice with my three year old and she has had a blast.
There are many custom dice on the market right now and this another go at this. As with all custom dice sets, it is perfectly possible to achieve the same results with ordinary dice and a list that matches dice rolls with events. There is a big difference, however. Thinking of the example “Mantic Games” they have custom dice that can be used for many of their games. So one set of dice might theoretically suffice for all the games. With these “Dungeon Dressing Dice” you have 8 different settings, ruins, caverns and so forth, so you have to purchase… Read more »
At the base pledge you get 1 die of each setting, eight dice in total. So there is no need to have to pledge for 8 sets unless you want multiples of each die type.
As a RPG player, but new to the GMing side of things, I think these would be a great addition to my GM toolbox.
“You enter the lords chamber, inside there is (rolls dicw) …….six arm chairs. What do you do? “
“You sit down in one of the nice armchairs and feel a strange nibble on your behind. Oh no! They are killer armchairs and want to eat you…..”
Oh snap! Things just got interesting!
Damn Mimics!
I reckon they could be good for running a solo game too
