I think it's really cool your DM decided to do this, that's really nice of them! I just wanted to add- the tarot thing doesn't have to be that way. There are people who choose to go by this and that's fine, but a lot of people buy their own first tarot deck (including me) and that's absolutely fine as well. As someone who has read tarot for 20 + years I just feel the need to point out when I see someone mention this that it doesn't HAVE to be that way. Too many people are afraid it's disrespectful to buy their own. This is my own personal hill 😅

We got a random urge to play d&d and the boys were both disappointed when they realised we didn’t have anything to play... except that I had enough dice for everyone and my character on me, the other player had his character sheet on his phone and the DM had enemy stats on him.

This was really nice! As someone who's only started playing DND last year and only owns one set of dice, this was really cool to watch! As for that one set of dice, I *love them* very much. I bought them in at the 'Vintage Stock' store inside a real big mall in my area, the entire set is a mix of translucent sky blue and a marbley white. The mix is really wispy and leads into each other to the point that they straight up look like a cloudy sky and thus I call them my sky dice. They're really fitting for my first dice as my first DND character is a human druid who has light blue hair, loves nature, and has basically adopted our Kenku Bard who's only wish is to reach the skies. I plan on buying at least two more for the next two characters I'm already/am planning to play as. Need to find me a set that fits my Eladrin Sorcerer who's slowly turning into an ice dragon 'cause of a curse and a set that fits my half elf fighter who's the adopted son of some merchants and is only on his adventure so he can get him some independance. So basically need me some magicy-looking icy/dragon dice and some seafaring dice XD

I’m sure this comment section is abandoned, but I’ll try and ask. Do you prefer metal or resin dies? I can’t pick all the resin dies look super cool and metal ones just look epic most of the time. Figured I’d ask for your personal pro and cons from each type.

You’re in luck, happened to see this when checking my analytics! It’s totally personal preference - some people prefer lighter weight dice because they roll more times once they land on the surface, whereas others prefer metal because of the weight and the solidity of the roll. Metal dice tend to “plonk” and don’t get much distance when they roll. If you have a friend who owns any or a local gaming store that would let you, you should try ‘em out and see which camp you fall into!

Yes!!! I too am dice obsessed and help run the Dice Maniacs’ Club Facebook group! Totally going to share this vid there. There are so many amazing makers out there right now! My favorites are handmade sets. I have one on the way from Soulbound Dice, I also love Quartzwork, Alchemical Gems, Gentle Goblin, Touchstone Dice, _krystyna_91, and so many more! I’d always love to see more of your dice!

YES TO DICE! They are gorgeous. It's also always fun watching people share videos of things they like. It's fun to listen to people talk about things they're excited about. Also the fact you keep a set in your purse makes me feel so validated. I don't keep dice, but I carry a few bronze coins to use for coin flips.

I'm always blown away at the variety of dice, now. Back in the day we used to go ape shit over transparent, colored dice (a "clear" step or two up from the six-dice set that came with the D&D Basic boxed set). They were still cheap and get gouged if you shook your dice bag too much, and we'd kill a little time by coloring in the numbers with crayon (if you don't like the color, just rub it out with a paper towel).

As a fellow dice goblin, I definitely agree with hoarding and collecting cool/pretty dice. I have a dice bag that's as big around as my forearm filled with dice, and I will probably end up getting more if I end up getting back into tabletop RPG's regularly again.

I always keep a set in my backpack, too! Myself and a friend once took them to dinner and rolled percentile dice to choose our menu items, and what we ended up with was delicious! It was a fun surprise. All your dice are so so lovely! Thank you for the calming content.

4:30 I feel you, there is a dedicated place in my backpage for an emergancy dice cup with a set of Kraken Dice in them, just in case. People frequently ask me what that case might look like and I don't have an answer for that but that's the point, you never know!

I was given multiple sets of dice for Christmas and I was so pleased. One was a semi clear orange set that had leaves in them for my Ranger and another set had Celtic knot looking designs on them around the edges as well as the numbers.
