Hi everyone,
I'm continuing looking at small creators today, but I'm going to do something a little different in this post. I'm going to look at a D&D supplement which was created by someone I know, and how it can help you use miniatures in your D&D game. Usual disclaimer - I'm not getting paid for this post, nor do I benefit from purchases of anything mentioned. I did play a small editorial role in the supplement, but I was not asked to write this and downloads do not benefit me (and you can get it free anyway!). The supplement in question is this one (first two pages shown as sample) by Highdenn Creations:
The supplement gives rules for playing a dog-folk character in D&D 5e (think tabaxi, but dogs instead of cats). There are three sub-classes which broadly follow different sizes of dog - from chihuahua to great dane, it's got you covered. Each sub-class has different rules and abilities, while retaining the essence of dog.
Humanoid animal miniatures have become more popular and common in the last few years, and there are some great examples out there. I recently looked at some anthropomorphic miniatures from the game Badgers and Burrows by Oathsworn Miniatures, and they have dogs as part of the range.

Another good source of anthropomorphic animal miniatures in the UK is Northumbrian Tin Solider. If you're in the US, I found some great looking dog-folk from Dark Sword Miniatures in a range called Critter Kingdoms. Here are just a couple of examples:

Although not anthropomorphic in the same way as these other miniatures, I thought it could be a good way to include the Dungeons and Doggos miniatures in your D&D game. Again, I looked at these previously. They are not humanoid dogs, but doggos going on adventure, but they could still work with this rule set.
If you have some of these miniatures or are interested in getting them, want to bring more variety to the races in your D&D game, or even have a beloved pet you want to see in your game then I recommend that you download the supplement and have a read.
It is available on DMs Guild here for 'Pay What You Want'. That means that you can choose to pay nothing, a few cents or a few dollars. You can even download it free, have a read then decide to go back and pay what you think its worth. As far as I can see you have nothing to lose and lots of fun to gain :) Goblin Squire
