Possibly my most ridiculous acquisition so far: a pair of 16mm tungsten dice, weighing a massive 147.6 grams, or about a third of a pound!
For fun I weighed all my other metal d6s, and also some non-metal pairs. Left side is single die weight, right side is per pair. All weights in grams, feel free to convert to Freedom Units in the comments.
Steel Dragon by Role4Initiative and Lump of Coal pipsqueaks from Dice Envy.
Beach dice again, guess where I’ll be next week. Plus new dragon’s eye liquid core, Feline Fantasy d6s, and a hundred year old nickel as a d2.
He was waiting for me to say something about the size, but I was just tripping out on the numbers.
I also don’t hate the truncated tetrahedron d4s, they’re actually easy to pick up. With random starfish.
I’m sooo glad the foil bag is resealable! From a recent Kickstarter.
I noticed how well Court of Fireflies match actual amber, so I made a little game.
I’ve stopped using full sets for my bard, and just assemble dice I’ll need by type and size. This week was XLd20s because that’s the important part. Wedge d4s for Cloud of Daggers / Healing Word. Rhombic d6s for Bardic Inspiration, skew d6s & d12s for use. Dedicated healer d8s with little +s. And D10s with actual “10”s. Dice Goblin for luck.
I’ve been testing Botch’s InkFX printing by keeping them in a chainmail dice bag. Two months in and they’re holding up, still pristine.
About half of these will be gifts this year (I love getting my xmas shopping done in August!) but I haven’t decided which yet so they’re all still packaged. Bonus UV reactive photo.
Almost a year ago, I made a murderous gnome character, and called her Gemcut. So of course I bought some gem-cut dice. Then some more. And a few more. And so on. They’re also called diamond-cut and dwarf-cut.
Red and green translucent are my first and still favorites, from Awesome Dice. Lavender is from Runic Dice, and probably the best of these. Red and black-white lotus blossoms are from Udixi, and I won’t mention the reseller markup. The last three are from different makers on Etsy who are obviously using the same mold or masters.
I just need amber and bright blue, then I can stop. Oh and a white, or clear. Or both. And …
Zucati V1, hand-finished and colored with crayon. Pic of raw d00s for before and after comparison.
Zucati V1, hand-colored with crayons. I tried to capture the retro vibes they gave me. (Not actually a CR bag.)
I’ll need to sand some sprues, and fill the numbers with a crayon. Then I’m gonna party like it’s 1983!
Large wooden dice like Story Cubes. If you roll a red spiral, you get to roll the red “super” die to give your hero a power.
Sunny, dewy morning photo op. Chessex pipped and Role4Initiative polyhedral, Translucent Black (Smoke)
I bought these for full price just a few days before Dice Envy’s $5 sale but I’m not mad at all, nope.
Some d6s I used last night
These held up really well for daily wear pavement pounders. They’re great on streets or trails. No maintenance or conditioning, other than drying thoroughly after getting soaked. Side leather is still pristine. Im putting in my average walking distances for the year, just for fun.
tl;dr: top score, would buy again.
