ShadowTents
"I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living." — Dr. Seuss
Behold: Shadowdark-themed table tents! These are handy tools for GMs running in-person games to show off cool art to the players while keeping stats right in front of them. They are form-fillable, and you can upload your own custom images too.
Here are a few examples of how they look on and around a GM screen:
When I shared these with a buddy of mine, he asked a perfectly reasonable question: "Why? And how else would someone actually use these?"
In case you need a little inspiration beyond the game table, here are a few other ways to put these tents to work:
TTRPG Bookmarks: Once a PC gets unalived, hand them their PC tent as a bookmark to relive the adventure every time they crack open their favorite game book.
Trophy Displays: Made a monster stat block you're genuinely proud of? Stick it on the fridge or use it as a badge of honor in your notes.
Quick Reference Cards: Keep your go-to reference monsters on hand as bookmarks for mid-session pull-ups.
Autograph Collection: Did someone famous join your convention game? Flip the card inside out and collect those John Hancocks!
Ultimate Business Cards: Too cool for standard contact info? Hand out a PC or monster tent to advertise yourself. Adds a passive +3 to CHA.
Custom Postcards: Flip the larger cards inside out and mail them off as customized postcards to your gaming group.
Unconventional Greeting Cards: Love sending holiday cards, birthday wishes, or portraits of your kids and pets? Convert them into Shadowdark monsters and stat them out!
Save the Dates: Getting married? Stat out the "beast with two backs" and turn it into the ultimate TTRPG wedding announcement.
How else would you use these tents? Send me a postcard!
