Wasted Wizard Games, the independent accessory studio operating out of Tbilisi, Georgia, has launched a new set of numbered rings designed to streamline large-scale combat in Dungeons & Dragons. These accessories, which fit standard 25mm miniature bases, allow Dungeon Masters to distinguish between identical monsters, such as a horde of zombies or a pack of wolves, by assigning each a specific number from 1 to 30.
The release follows the success of the company’s previous condition rings, which Geek Native featured for their clever stacking design, allowing a single miniature to now display both its identity (e.g., Orc #5) and its current status (e.g., Stunned and Poisoned) in a single, stable column. This approach aims to replace the messy practice of hanging plastic bands or using “scrap paper” labels during complex roleplaying games.
The human element behind these designs is found in the studio’s founders, who left corporate roles just before the global pandemic to focus on tabletop utility. By operating in the Chugureti district of Tbilisi, they have tapped into a growing international design hub that prioritises minimalist efficiency.
However, while the design is elegant for standard skirmish play, it reveals a significant constraint for high-level play. The rings are precision-tooled for 25mm (one-inch) bases, meaning they are unusable for Large, Huge, or Gargantuan creatures without “hanging” them awkwardly on the miniature’s limbs, a practice that defeats the company’s stated goal of maintaining visual immersion. But then, do you need a reminder ring for such a fierce foe?
These rings help DMs track identical monsters during combat with simple callouts like Orc #5 or Zombie #2, and they stack together with the condition rings you featured before.”
For Dungeon Masters running “horde” encounters, where 30 orcs might be represented by a single miniature for space reasons, the rings can also be used to track initiative order. By placing the “1” ring on the active mini, the DM can physically cycle through the turn order without losing their place in the initiative tracker.
