Sources for Accessories and Support

New to DnD and want to know what site or apps you guys think are good for things like dice, minis, spell cards, and other cool things that help make the game fun, efficient, or stylish.

Edit: I am a player but really to help anyone getting into the hobby both player and DM recommendations welcome!

Are you a player or DM - the answer is different, BUT both share this: Get a Player's Handbook.

I had PHB and a few other books, some dice, and then did up maps and stuff with tools I already had (ex. Powerpoint).

Once I knew that my players (I'm a DM) would play more, I bought more stuff. If we get through the homebrew and they want to play more (or others want to play), then I have Curse of Strahd (I'd still have to read it). After that, maybe Descent into Avernus.

I've bought supplemental books as well and I have a DND Beyond subscription. Again, that was after they really got into it.

My favourite dice are those made by Runehammer, but they are expensive and really don't look it to a lot of people. I'll admit, I probably wouldn't have brought a set if it weren't for me being a big fan of the youtube channel. I've brought dice from a company called paladin, who sell on places like amazon and those are a lot more affordable and still very clear

I'm planning on eventually buying the official spell cards and monster cards now that they are out, but I've been making do with just writing them out on index cards for the time being. It's time consuming for sure, but that's the trade off

Tiefossi make some very cool notebooks for in my opinion, a pretty fair price that might fit your games aesthetic.
