Hey table top gamers, this page has impressive wooden puzzles for a steam punk looking dice tower, deck box, dice keeper, card keeper, and game master's screen. Being wood, they can be painted :).

I personally have not had a stellar experience with the one UGEARS kit I built. I bought their 20-minute timer kit, I've never managed to get it to run.
ROKR kits are better-produced, in my opinion. Sadly, they don't make a timer, though.
No idea if they make the DnD stuff you describe, either. If it's not stuff with moving parts, UGEARS might be just fine for all I know.
@mcfate Dang! I just fell madly in love with this Tellurion that has a stop motion flappy bird and would help me teach my kiddo so much. Perhaps I'll find another one somewhere else.
@mcfate Looking in the reviews for the one I like, I see some reassuring comments. I've been rethinking the birthday present I asked for and might ask for this instead. I think I like it enough to risk it. It even has the seasons marked, and would be so valuable in showing the kiddo how it all works. I think I'll take the gamble :)
