Welcome to Dark-Platypus Studio!

Brand new ACTION STANDS and STATUS FLAGS make book-keeping a breeze!
Behold the ACTION PACK! This combo set is actually comprised of 3 new items that were big sellers at this years Origins Game Fair! First up is the ACTION STANDS. This set of 10 pewter flag posts is magnetic on both the top and the bottom. They stand up great on our Magna-Map, or you can sticky tack them right to your figures. Each comes with a numbered sticker flag, so that you can easily tell your monsters apart! The second item in the Action Pack is the Status Flag Bars. This package of 40 magnetic posts will snap right onto the top of your Action Stands magnetically. Either paint them to represent various effects, or add the final item: the STATUS FLAGS. These laminated stickers wrap around the bars, and let you know what states are affecting your players and creatures, whether they are bloodied, stunned, marked or a host of other D&D 4th Edition states and effects! The whole set is $24.99, and you can get it (and a bunch of other new stuff!) in our newly redesigned Role-Playing STORE page!
THE MAGNA-MAP COMBAT GRID 2: BIGGER AND BETTER!!
Okay, this is a big picture for the front page, but we're pretty excited about this! The original Magna-Map has completely sold out, and been replaced with the brand new Magna-Map 2! This gameboard provides the same awesome features as the original: it is flexible (so you can roll it up and take it with you), durable, has a wipe off surface suitable for wet- or dry-erase markers, and it is magnetically receptive! Not only that, but it also features an improved textured appearance, and is even BIGGER, at a full 24" x 36". And all for the same price as the Magna-Map 1! Find it on the Magna-Map page, and check out all your cool mapping options on the Bendy Dungeon Walls page!
MAGNETIC ADAPTER KITS FOR BENDY DUNGEON WALLS ARE HERE
Add the power of Magnet to your Bendy Dungeon Walls, and make them even cooler! Create super stability for your Bendy Dungeons on any magnetically receptive surface. Works great on our Magna-Map Combat Grid, or on your regular battle map (with a piece of sheet steel under it). Check them out on the Magnetic Adapters page, or get everything you need on the Bendy Dungeon Walls page!
LOTS OF COOL T-SHIRT DESIGNS AVAILABLE FROM IT'S A GAMER'S THING!
It's A Gamer's Thing is the new official T-Shirt producer for us here at Dark-Platypus Studio, and they've started things off big, with over 20 of our most popular images to choose from! Check out all the options you can wear on the T-Shirts page!
NEED MORE ACTION?! GET THE POINT!!
 Here's a great way to physically represent the earning and spending of Action Points in your favorite RPG game: Action Point Tokens! These are just like our regular Dark-Platypus Gaming Tokens, except they have the fancy words 'Action Point' written in them to show that they are, well, Action Points. Hand them out to your players as they earn them, and make them turn them back in when they want to spend them. Better yet, make them throw them in a cup! A mini-game that's fun for everyone! Get a set of 10 for $12.99...you can find them on their own Action Points page!
MORE NEW DICE BAGS TO CARRY YOUR GAMING GEAR
By request, I have added some new dice bag designs based off of existing images, as well as bags from my newest pieces. Joining the Black Goblin and the Merfolk are the Fairie, the Naga, and the Serf! Take a look at all the cool dice bag option on the Dice Bags page!
