RPGs should be more fun and less tedius. Experienced DMs pick up lots of little tips and tricks to keep the action rolling so that the players stay engaged. Here's one for you: Cast haste on your table lookups with Adventure d20s!

Adventure d20s start with a random encounter table, treasure table, rumor table, or other table from a sourcebook and put those entries directly on a d20. That would be impossible with tiny plastic dice, but it works well with baseball-sized paper dice that you print at home. The effect is that as soon as the die lands, everyone at the table gets a taste of the outcome faster than you can look up a number in the book.

Allowing players to examine and roll an Adventure d20 can tantilize them with clues to potential outcomes and increase their sense of agency.

Adventure d20s can be specific to individual campaigns and customized to your group. That can make them tangible keepsakes to remember the fun times you all shared.
