    You can also dab or soak in coffee or tea, then bake in the oven at a low temperature to dry them out. It will give a cool texture as the paper wrinkles and warps from being dried rapidly.

    Love the potion idea. Will be using that. In my campaign I had a secret order, that has a talisman of a unicorn head made of amethyst. So I printer off a model that matched, made a mold and made a resin version of the talisman using colored inks and gels, etc, and handed it to my players. They had to find a member of the order on some city docks and i had them RP trying to covertly flash this talisman at npcs until they found the right one. 😂

    Another take for the item cards. I use tcg clear sleeves instead of laminating. It saves time, cards can be re done if there is an error and Most importantly, if there is a cursed item I can print card and back seperately and have a "good" side to gove to Players and a "real" side with the curse to be swapped around

    Little something to boost those potion vials. A bit of red tinted resin in the bottom will both make them sit in the holder a bit better and offer them a bit more weight. Doing so also fills a bit of the visual space when they are sitting on the table.

    I've, recently, found it's rather easy to find a laser cutter/etcher that's either free to use or cheap. One of the coolest props that I've used at the table was a 2'x2' leather map of the area the campaign was in. It was a thing that was always available on the table for two and a half years there and is now framed on the wall... It wasn't an extremely detailed map of the type you'd think with things like the big, detailed sword coast one or similar, it's a more rustic looking one with roughed up edges and some wear from the time used, and looks like something you might find in a world and one that would be of use in a more rugged region where there's a lot of things that might destroy a paper or similar map.
