Welcome, adventurer! We know you might have a few questions before you roll initiative and start shopping with us. Below you'll find answers to the most common things our community asks. If you don't see what you're looking for, feel free to reach out to our party of support heroes.

What kind of products does Role-Players carry?

We're a one-stop shop for tabletop RPGs, board games, miniatures, dice, video game collectibles, cosplay gear, anime merchandise, and all things geek and pop culture. We curate high-quality products from reputable brands so you can spend less time searching and more time playing. From rulebooks and starter sets to painting supplies and LARP accessories, we've got your quest covered.

I'm brand new to tabletop RPGs. Where should I start?

First off, welcome to the hobby! We recommend grabbing a beginner-friendly starter set for a game like D&D or Pathfinder, which typically includes simplified rules, pre-made characters, and a short adventure. Pair that with a standard 7-piece dice set (d4, d6, d8, d10, d%, d12, and d20) and you're ready to play. We also have a "Gifts Below $20" collection that's perfect for picking up affordable essentials without breaking the bank.

What materials are your RPG dice made from?

Our dice come in a wide range of materials, including acrylic, resin, metal, wood, stone, glass, and even gemstone. The material you choose mainly affects weight, feel, durability, and how the dice roll across the table, not the rules of the game. Metal dice have a satisfying heft, while acrylic sets are lightweight and budget-friendly. Pick whatever feels right for your play style!

What scale are your miniatures, and which ones are best for beginners?

Most of our tabletop RPG miniatures are in the standard 28–32 mm "heroic scale," which fits perfectly on a 1-inch grid where each square represents 5 feet in-game. If you're new to painting minis, we recommend starting with hard plastic figures. They're more forgiving, durable, and easier to work with than resin or metal alternatives.

Does Role-Players ship internationally?

Absolutely! We ship to multiple countries and offer multi-currency support across Europe, Canada, and the UK. Shipping costs and delivery times vary by destination, and you'll see the exact totals at checkout before you confirm your order. No surprise fees lurking in the dungeon.Some vendor do not ship internationally!

What is your return and exchange policy?

We want you to be thrilled with every item in your loot haul. If something isn't right, check our Returns page for full details on eligibility windows and condition requirements. We know a smooth return experience matters (over 90% of shoppers say an easy returns process keeps them coming back), so we aim to make the process as straightforward as possible.

How can I find gifts on a budget?

Head over to our "Gifts Below $20" collection! It's packed with dice sets, accessories, small figures, and fun pop culture items that make great presents for the gamer in your life. It's an easy way to pick up something meaningful without rolling a critical hit on your wallet.

Do you carry products for LARPers and cosplayers?

You bet. We stock LARP gear, costume accessories, and cosplay-friendly items alongside our tabletop inventory. Our goal is to support every corner of geek culture, so whether you're suiting up for a convention or heading into the woods for a live-action campaign, you'll find gear that fits the quest.
