Description

These cipher rings were designed originally to be used as an interactive prop for a rogue in one of my D&D campaigns!

A rogue can use these (and a key) to decipher thieve's cant runes provided by the Dungeon Master. Or you can simply provide these as a general cipher for a quest or guild for the entire party to use!

How to use the cipher wheel:

An encoded message (made up of different runes from one wheel) is provided to the player. To decode the message, the player needs a key.

This key can be included in the original message, or may need to be found elsewhere - that's up to you! In either case, the key simply lines up one letter with one rune.

For example, the key may be:

R /

To use this, the player can simply line up the R and the / on each wheel. This will match up all the other letters and runes so the player can decode the rest of the message.

Other ideas:

These can be scaled down to wear as bracelets, presented as intriguing loot from a dungeon or on the body of a spy, or in any other number of ways!

Have fun and enjoy.

Cheers!

Super easy print with PLA and came out great. I've built a tool for easily creating ciphers based on the font used. By default the 'A' maps to the dot, but you can remap as required. The tool is available on my website (sorry, http): http://billyrebecchi.co.uk/dnd-cipher/ If you'd rather not visit an unsecured site, the tool is also on github and can be ran locally (note that you need to transpile the TS file into JS to run it): https://github.com/thebillington/dnd-cipher

thanks for awesome tool to go with this print - there's only one issue - the capital T and it's upside down version are switched in your tool - after the triangle comma, is the upside down T, then the left T, then T, then right T, then hourglass

@Barwench

This is a great tool to go along, thanks! Did the issue listed here get resolved? I can't check until I print it.

@JustBeingDylan

I really like that you made a tool for it, small things capital letters give a very different result, so does the newline character

These are great. Thank you. I wonder if you can make one blank, so people can stick their own symbols on too?

A wonderful trinket for my d&d game - the glyph generator by billy makes this useful as a dm

nice work

@user_634956795

it's really a cool thing to include in my games. however, have a thought for it. would it be possible to create an insert that would be able to hold both rings in place so that you can turn them to the correct position and then hold them firmly (can't make one myself as I've only just started looking at 3D printing and the creation here of)? Just an eddit: the kids at my school loves this so mutch that it has helped som of them to lear how to spell :-) so thank you so mutch for that
