Sneaky!

This October, the Rogue sneaks into Gale Force Nine’s series of Official DUNGEONS & DRAGONS Player’s Handbook token sets. The tokens and tiles in this handy set will make tracking your combat actions a breeze.

Each set includes a Character Status Tile. This durable plastic tile is a handy reference for all the variable stats that can change during combat. The tile is designed to work with wet erase markers so you can quickly modify your status as it changes in battle.

The Action Point Tile is a handy reminder for players to make an extraordinary move to turn the tide of combat. The Light Source token can be slipped onto the base of your model when your character is scouts ahead of party with a torch or lantern. The Bloodied token conveniently marks your model when the never-ending battle begins to take its toll, while the Dying token reminds the group that you may have disarmed your last trap.

The set also includes personalized Dragonscale-shaped tokens for your character. Scale tokens fit neatly around the base of your model, or can be placed on the Status Tile or your character sheet. The personalized Marked token designates the focus of your attacks. The Total Defense token shows when your character is focusing on staying alive rather than attacking. A special Hidden token is included for use when your Rogue sneaks about. The remaining scale tokens have iconic rogue imagery that the player can define for use for a wide range of spells, attacks and reminders during combat (For example, the throwing knives tokens are perfect for marking the corners of an area of effect attack on the Battle Grid).

Finally the Mount Token is used to increase the base size of your miniature to a large model when your character is riding a horse or vehicle. This Large size token can also represent your riderless mount on the Battle Grid. The Invisibility Stand-Up replaces your miniature when your character is rendered invisible.

Gale Force Nine’s Official DUNGEONS & DRAGONS Rogue Token Set will be available in finer game and hobby shops worldwide for $12.99 USD.

A month prior in September, Gale Force Nine will release another Officially Licensed DUNGEONS & DRAGONS Game Mat. This high-quality vinyl surface is ideal for staging encounters during your adventures! The mat lies flat for ease of play and is sold in sturdy polycarbonate tube for easy storage and transport. The mat may be marked with WET-ERASE markers to temporarily alter terrain areas or make other notes about battlefield conditions during play. The Game Mat measure 20” x 30” and is marked with a 1” grid. The Game Mat retails for $19.99 USD.


The underbelly of the city is riddled with dark crawlways and treacherous passages. The locals call this foul network the Ratfang Sewers. Filth and grime abound in these damp tunnels and all manner of disgusting creatures slink about, plotting, scheming and performing vile acts to appease dark powers. This map shows a network of passageways and foul canals, detritus and trash litter the floors of side tunnels and antechambers. Gates and grates divide sections of the network and protect one large chamber that has been re-purposed as the lair of a wicked denizen.

Far from the lands of civilized men lies a chilling monument to ancient powers, the Jungle Temple. Throughout history this cursed edifice has been the site of profane rituals and the target of epic quest as adventurers seek answers to forbidden questions. This map shows a central temple bracketed by glyph-covered obelisks and strange serpent-men statues. A sacrificial altar stands at the center of the temple and beneath its crumbling walls, a hidden stairway leads to unspeakable horrors and treacherous catacombs.

As conflict spreads and the rules of engagement re-written, commanders field new formations of soldiers to win the day. Gale Force Nine introduces two new varieties of movement trays to field these new unit configurations.

Soldiers gather in large numbers to overwhelm the opposition with sheer manpower. GF9 has placed movement trays to accommodate these large units in a new section called HORDE FORMATIONS. These larger trays fit ranks of soldiers that are ten models wide. There are trays for models on both 20mm and 25mm bases as well as trays for models on larger 40mm and 50mm bases. Moving these imposing hordes of troops across the battlefield has never been easier.

Hobbyist Aaron Dill has finished and painted these new tray types to match his armies.

Some armies field forces in a dispersed formation. Gale Force Nine’s SKIRMISH FORMATIONS allow you to move these loosely ranked units across the battlefield with ease. The trays are designed to maintain a ½ gap between each model. If the unit engages in melee, it’s easy enough to remove them from the tray and place them in a standard rank and file formation for combat. Survivors can then be placed back in the tray and moved on their way.



Common unit sizes of these trays will be available in finer game and hobby shops. More unique regiment sizes will be available via the GF9 online store.

Gale Force Nine is pleased to announce that the initial production run of our first official accessory for DUNGEONS & DRAGONS, the Dungeon Master’s Token Set has sold out! All stock has been sent to distributors and retailers. A second production run has already been completed and is currently being packaged for immediate shipping. Until such time, the token set will not be available via our online store, making your local game shop the best place to buy the set.

“Demand for this set has really exceeded our expectations,” said Sean Sweigart, General Manager of Gale Force Nine. “We are very excited to see the strong interest from the gaming community in this range and look forward to continuing to develop more great products for DUNGEONS & DRAGONS. We have a lot of exciting products in the pipeline and the strong initial response to our first offering is much appreciated.”

The wait is over!

Gale Force Nine’s Dungeon Master’s Token Set is now shipping to hobby and game stores worldwide! This official accessory for DUNGEONS & DRAGONS contains 50 Full Color Durable Acrylic Tokens for DM’s to manage combats and track the conditions of monsters and heroes as they battle in dangerous dungeons and far away realms.

The 22 dragonscale-shaped tokens indicate specific effects that adventures and dungeon denizens may fall victim to. The scale-shaped tokens are all emblazoned with D&D artwork from Wizards of the Coast. The 18 scroll tokens act as handy reminders for status and ongoing damage effects. These scroll tokens are designed so the DM may mark them with a wet erase marker (available from any office supply or stationary store). The set also includes 5 drop-shaped Bloodied tokens and 5 corpse markers.

The tokens are contained in a handsome wooden box. Inside, the box is divided into compartments to sort and store your tokens and any other items the Dungeon Master will be using; dice, pencils, miniatures or whatever! The lid of the box is lined with felt, turning it into the perfect dice tray to keep wild rolls under control.

Next week we'll focus on the tokens in the set and their use during your adventure sessions!



Also shipping this week are GF9’s first two Official DUNGEONS & DRAGONS Game Mats. The King’s Road & The Inn of the Welcome Wench. These high-quality vinyl surfaces are ideal for staging encounters during your adventures! Each mat lies flat for ease of play and is sold in sturdy polycarbonate tube for easy storage and transport. The mats may be marked with WET-ERASE markers to temporarily alter terrain areas or make other notes about battlefield conditions during play. Both Game Mats measure 20” x 30” and are marked with a 1” battle grid. All of GF9's Game Mats are based on artwork provided by Wizards of the Coast.


The King’s Road represents a stretch of road or trail through the wilderness, perfect to stage an ambush on the party as they travel between dungeons, encounter a mysterious wanderer or camp for the night after a long day’s journey. The mat has plenty of cover during battle with many rocks, trees and rocky slopes as well as a trio of roadside graves.


The Inn of the Welcome Wench serves as a base for your heroes, a gathering place to seek out new blood for the party, a destination to meet with informants and quest givers and the site of many an ale-driven drunken brawl. The map shows the first floor of the inn with a large common room, a bustling kitchen and two private rooms for clandestine gatherings.
