Add-On: GM Banners
Add-On: GM Banners
Every Dungeon Master knows the moment.
"Which goblin is taking their turn now?"
"Is that the one with the bow, or the one next to the barbarian?"
"Wait, which token was number 3 again?"
While your players stare at the grid trying to figure out who's who, you’re stuck playing memory games just to keep combat moving.
Our GM Banners solve that exact problem.
Designed specifically for running monsters and enemies, these banners feature a distinct monster icon on the players’ side and clear Roman numerals facing the DM. At a glance, you know exactly which specific creature's turn is next—while keeping your players guessing about who is stepping up to strike.
A simple, highly effective upgrade for running smoother, faster, and more suspenseful encounters.
Use GM Banners to:
Use GM Banners to:
- Distinguish individual monsters in swarms or groups without mixing up turns
- Keep track of specific enemy tactics (Monster I holds the front line, Monster II flanks)
- Maintain table mystery by revealing enemy identity only when you choose to
- Eliminate turn-order confusion for multi-enemy encounters
Clear numbers for the DM. Suspense for the players.
Set Contents:
- 8 double-sided, rewritable GM Banners (Monster Icon / Roman Numerals I–VIII)
- Please note: GM Banners are designed as an expansion for our Initiative Tracker and cannot be used standalone.

Now I’m looking forward to making death saves at my table!
Prachtig.
Ik ga wel het einde aanpassen voor de tere kinderzieltjes (ze zijn 12).
A little gem
Very funny and complete adventure, it's the most fun I've ever had running a pre-written one shot. The party was very amused as well and stunned by the props that came with the adventure. The mini's in the package are awesome and very helpful too.
Its great
Great D&D night with this one-shot! Amazing :)
Ordered the Zineshot Anthology (excellent oneshots that I hope to implement in my Acquisitions Incorporated campaign) and very happy with what I got. Booklets look good, illustrations are light and uplifting and the adventures themselves are great. Shipment was lightning fast, I got my order the day after purchase. Will definitely return!
Great accessory for DND!
The atmosphere is excellent and the mystery slowly unfolds in a satisfying way. It requires a bit of guidance from the Dungeon Master, but the payoff is worth it.
I'm loving the design, it's exactly what I needed!
Also, look at that goldfoil cover, I love it!
The adventure leaves enough room for improvisation. A few scenes are written loosely, which I enjoyed because it let me tailor the tone to my group. Others might prefer more structure.
I hope more styles come out in the future. I am close to finishing this one and I want the next to look different because I will definitely keep using these.
It handles ink, pencil and markers without issue. I erase constantly and the paper still looks fresh after multiple revisions.
The story is dark and unusual, with moments that genuinely surprised my group. It is not overly complex, which makes it easy to run, but still full of eerie detail.
