Walton's Dice

Image
I saw these dice on Etsy and thought they would be perfect for Walton Glaives, Investigative Wizard Extraordinaire & Abjuration Savant. But they were expensive and I couldn't justify the purchase. Still can't, but I got into a mood and bought them anyway. The fact that they offered a 11-die set was the kicker. They're very wizardry. These are the Sapphire Blue Astrology Dice Set by CrystalMaggie on Etsy. I picked them up on sale, 25% off, but they still cost me $85. Which is more than I paid for the beautiful metal Die Hard Dice I picked up a few years back. I can be a spendthrift, but dice are not a thing that should cost a lot of money. The dice arrived today, so how does the reality of them compare to the website? The first three pictures are from the website and make the dice look stunning. The pictures above are just me snapping a couple quick shots with my phone, they look less stunning, but still nice. I added the grey d20 in there to show that these dice are sli...

I do not like it when that one face on my die has a logo on it. I will stick with numbers, please and thank you.

Adding to the Dice Hoard

 Amazon delivered a couple packages of dice to my door today. Not sure why I'm buying as many dice as I am lately, but I really like the 11 dice sets as opposed to the usual 7 dice sets and both of these orders were for a pair of 11 piece sets.  First off, I'll show you the set I was eagerly anticipating. One set of black and white dice and one set of red and black from Sumind Store. These came with small felt bags for each and I think they are really good looking dice. I was less excited by this second set, but I was looking for 11 piece sets and this double set fit the bill. The red/black dice look a lot like the above dice, but they have tiny gold flecks in them. These are CiaraQ dice, and I've bought and enjoyed them before. These also came with a pair of black drawstring bags. I can say that I like them more than I expected too, that dark green is particularly nice. Now, I need to decide which characters to assign them too...

Dice & Stickers

 I blame the wife for this purchase and any other purchases that result from her showing me how much "D&D stuff" is on Temu . Mostly it's dice, but there are a few other things of interest. I needed some dice for Brett's Cyberpunk RED game so I ordered two sets of these, which leaves me extra, but they've got the right color scheme to feel apropos. These are Two sets because I wanted 5d6 and 2d10 with the single digits and even with it being an 11 piece dice set, I still won't get what I want from one. The brand name of these is LHSQIOQIO, but I don't know if that's the store name or the manufacturer. Just because the price was dirt cheap, I bought this 5 set of dice. They're just the usual 7 piece dice sets, but I paid less for them than I did for the single set I bought at the hobby store last time. I like the look of these, the color mix is nice, they're very legible, and they all look good with the gold lettering. The website says Allri...
