Play Digitally In 2D Using Your Phone

The Easiest Way to Play with Your Favourite Characters

The simplest way to play with your favourite characters is to use the high-quality 2D PNG images provided in this content.

Simply download the image of your character, creature, spell, power, item, monster, villain, or any other element you want to use in your game. Save it directly to your phone so you always have it ready during your Dungeons & Dragons session.

As you already know, in D&D your character or creature can be represented by almost anything on the table. You can use a token, a coin, a small marker, a card, a piece of paper, or any object you choose. The important thing is that everyone at the table understands what that object represents.

This is where your phone becomes very useful.

Because you have the digital image saved on your phone, you can simply display the character or item image whenever needed. That way, all the players can clearly see what your token, coin, marker, or object represents in the game.

For example, if you place a coin on the table to represent your hero, you can show the hero’s image on your phone so everyone knows exactly who that coin represents. The same can be done for monsters, powers, spells, weapons, magical items, villains, or any other element you want to bring into the adventure.

This is the easiest, cheapest, and most straightforward way to play. You do not need to print anything, cut anything, or prepare physical tokens unless you want to. You only need your phone, your imagination, and the digital images from your collection.

It is a simple way to make your Dungeons & Dragons games more visual, more creative, and more exciting, while giving your characters and ideas a clear identity at the table.

USING MINI-PHONES

If your phone is already an incredible tool at the table, here’s the next evolution.

There are Mini-Phones—tiny, touch-screen devices that are surprisingly affordable, incredibly compact, and small enough to feel like a game token. And yes… they can display your characters.

Think about it for a second.

If you can display an image on a small screen, and that screen fits perfectly on the table, then that screen becomes your character.

That’s exactly how we use them in our games.

These mini phones usually cost under £35, they’re easy to use, and they feel like a collectable piece rather than a gadget. For the price of a couple of dice sets, you get a reusable, digital token you can use in every session.

Why Mini Phones Are a Game-Changer

You can use a mini phone as:

  • Your Player Character

  • An NPC

  • A monster or boss

  • A magical item

  • A creature

  • A location or scene

Just place it on the table where your character is.

No printing.
No stands.
No setup.

Tap the screen.
Change the image.
Instant transformation.

Whether you are a Player or a Dungeon Master, this tool lets you position characters visually and dynamically in a way that feels modern, original, and insanely cool.

How to Get One (Very Easy)

Honestly, it’s as simple as this:

  1. Go to Amazon

  2. Search for “mini phone”

  3. Browse the options

  4. Pick the one you like most

There are many shapes, sizes, and styles. Choose the one that fits your aesthetic and your table.

Why This Is Pure Magic

If you love digital representation…
If you enjoy creating images of your characters, items, creatures, monsters, or environments…
If you like the idea of having them all in mini format, right on the table…

This is incredible.

This didn’t exist a few years ago.
Now it’s affordable.
Now it’s accessible.
Now it’s in your hands.

Your images stop being just pictures.
They become physical presence at the table.

Small screen.
Big impact.

MORE ABOUT PHONES

Here’s a truth many people forget:

To play Dungeons & Dragons, you need nothing but your imagination.

No big investments.
No expensive gear.
No complicated setups.

A coin can be a dragon.
A piece of paper can be a hero.
The rest is imagination—and that’s already magic.

But if you want to show your ideas, if you want your table to see what’s in your head, if you want to display your own creations or the incredible characters you’ll discover while reading the lore of Kwasar: Chronicles of Heroes, there is one tool you already have with you at all times:

Your phone.

Think about it.

Your phone is always on the table.
Your images are already saved on it.
Your creations are already collected.

So when you want to represent something in your game, you simply:

  • Pick up your phone

  • Open the image

  • Place it on the table

  • And say:
    “This is my character.”
    “This is the item I’m using.”
    “This is the creature we’re facing.”

That’s it.

No printing.
No setup.
No cost.
No friction.

This is why we strongly recommend that you collect every illustration you encounter throughout the lore of THE MULTIVERSE-Z. Those images are not just art—they are game tools waiting to be used.

It may sound like a small thing. Almost too obvious.

But this skill is pure magic.

You own an image.
You show it.
And suddenly, everyone at the table is seeing the same thing.

Your phone becomes a visual portal.
Your ideas become shared reality.
Your imagination becomes tangible.

Keep this skill close. Always.

In a world where you can generate your own illustrations usin AI or collect epic visual Lore, this simple habit becomes one of the most powerful tools you have as a Superhero Player.

Simple.
Free.
Incredibly effective.

Phones & Battle Mats

Let’s start with the most important truth:

To play Dungeons & Dragons, you don’t need a battle mat.

You can grab a sheet of paper, draw a few lines, sketch the terrain, and play.
That’s it. The game works.

Everything else is optional.

That said… battle mats can make your game clearer, smoother, and more visual, and today there are fantastic options that are affordable, accessible, and easy to find.

What Is a Battle Mat?

A battle mat is simply a surface with a grid or pattern that helps you:

  • Track movement

  • Position characters and enemies

  • Visualize combat and environments

Most classic D&D mats use:

  • Square grids

  • Hexagonal grids

You can find many RPG mats online.

Where to Find Mats (Very Easily)

You can find great mats by simply searching:

  • Amazon → type “RPG mat”

  • AliExpress → type “RPG mat”

You’ll find:

  • Many styles

  • Different sizes

  • Very affordable prices

Both platforms are perfectly fine for this.

But now comes the real Superhero Player skill.

The Powerful Skill: Search by Image (THIS IS GOLD)

Most people search the old way: typing words.

But the fastest and smartest way to find products today is this:

👉 Search by image.

Both Amazon and AliExpress allow you to search using a photo.

How it works (AliExpress example):

  1. Open AliExpress

  2. Go to the search bar

  3. You’ll see a small camera icon 📷 next to it

  1. Tap the camera icon

  2. Upload or share a photo of the product

  3. AliExpress (and also Amazon) instantly finds:

    • The same product

    • Similar products

    • Cheaper alternatives

That’s it.

So if I show you an image of a mat in this lesson:

  • Take a screenshot

  • Upload it using the camera icon

  • Instantly find options you can buy

This skill alone gives you total freedom as a buyer.

Use it on Amazon.
Use it on AliExpress.
Use it for anything I show you in this manual.

Now, Let’s Talk About Grid Size (Very Important)

Here’s a key idea many players never think about:

Small grids force you to use small pieces.

If you buy mats with small squares, you are almost forced to use:

  • Small miniatures

  • Small tokens

  • Small markers

That’s fine—but it’s not the only way.

Think Bigger: Large Grids Make Play Easier and Cheaper

If you use mats with larger grids, everything changes.

You can:

  • Use bigger tokens

  • Use larger miniatures

  • Use digital devices like:

    • Your phone

    • A mini phone

    • Tablets (in some cases, for example when you want to represent a dragon of truly gigantic proportions)

This simplifies gameplay enormously.

Big pieces are easier to see.
Easier to move.
Easier to understand at a glance.

Open Your Mind: Any Mat Can Be a D&D Mat

Here’s the mindset shift we want you to make:

You don’t need mats designed specifically for D&D.

You can also use:

  • Desk mats (mouse + keyboard mats)

  • Tech mats with grids or futuristic designs

  • Gaming mats with squares or hexes

  • Any surface with a repeating pattern

Many of these are:

  • Much cheaper

  • Available in many sizes

  • Visually stunning

  • Perfect for large-scale play

Some desk mats look amazing and work perfectly as battle maps.

Using Larger Grid Mats Expands Your Game (And Saves You Money)

Using mats with larger grids doesn’t just allow you to use your phone at the table—it opens the door to many more ways of representing your characters.

With larger grid spaces, you can use bigger miniatures, which are often easier to find, paint and much cheaper. Many of them are mass-produced, widely available, and chances are you already have something at home that could work perfectly as your character or an enemy.

Larger grids free you from the need to use tiny tokens. You can use phones, mini phones, tablets, larger minis, objects, or any visual element that helps represent what’s happening in the game. This dramatically expands your options and your creativity.

And the best part? These larger-grid mats are often far cheaper than traditional RPG mats, sometimes costing four times less, while also allowing you to play more affordably by using everyday objects or digital devices instead of expensive miniatures.

So, Bigger grids mean cheaper mats, cheaper tokens, more flexibility, and a much more open and creative way to play.

A Simple Trick to Use Your Phone as a Game Piece

If your grid is large enough, you can do something incredible:

You can place your phone or Mini-Phone directly on the mat and use it as:

  • Your character

  • An enemy

  • A boss

  • A dragon

  • A magical artifact

With a simple phone stand (very cheap, very easy to find), your phone becomes a physical game piece.

No extra purchases.
No printing.
No miniatures required.

Just images + screen + grid.

That’s modern tabletop magic.

Here’s a simple but incredibly effective trick for using your phone during your games—as a display, a character, an enemy, an item, or anything you want it to represent.

There are small phone stands available on Amazon that are designed to stick directly to the back of your phone. They take up almost no space, are very easy to install, and once attached, they completely change how useful your phone becomes at the table.

These stands:

  • Stick securely to the back of your phone

  • Fold flat when not in use

  • Open instantly into a stable stand

  • Allow you to adjust the viewing angle of the screen

  • Work perfectly with phones and even tablets

Because they are so compact, they don’t interfere with normal phone use at all. But when you place your phone on the table, they turn it into a proper tabletop piece that fits naturally on your mat.

This means your phone can stand upright on the grid, clearly visible to everyone, perfectly positioned, and easy to move—just like a miniature or a token.

Combined with larger grid mats and digital images, this tool is incredibly powerful. Your phone becomes a flexible, reusable game element that adapts instantly to whatever you need in the moment.

We’re sharing this here because this is not just a phone accessory—it’s a tabletop tool. A simple, affordable solution that lets you use what you already own in a smarter, more creative way.

This is just one design, but it’s the idea that matters. You can find countless phone stands in many different styles—wooden, metal, minimalist, foldable, or more decorative designs. Choose the one you like most and use your phone in a far more comfortable, flexible, and visually effective way during your games.

Small tool.
Huge impact.
Pure tabletop magic. 📱🎲✨
