Finished up this “Deep Jet Ore” set and really liked how the natural tones came through on this batch.
The surface ended up with a kind of layered, mineral feel—almost like something pulled straight out of the ground.
After several years and many poorly informed choices, I finally reassembled a set like my original dice. The long and winding road to completion of this quest included several pounds of not-quite-right Windmills from an estate sale, many auction lots of mostly Armory or Diamond Dice and finally cherry picked from old accumulations and ‘80’s game store leftovers. Missed opportunities included a die sledge-hammered at a convention by the man himself and a partial set of Gen 1’s. I place the latter in the same area as Bristol d20 sets and the Japanese tricolor set; a bit before my time, but highly interesting. Attention to mathematic and geometric detail and the insistence on using the highest grade of materials set his products apart from all others. A tardy thank you for a piece of my gaming life that was often copied but rarely matched and never bettered. You will be missed.

I bought six bags from Third Eye Games yesterday. Ravenloft is my favorite D&D setting so I was going to get a few. I ended up pulling a Legendary and a Rare.

I am only 4 dice away from owning every single bundle dice ever made in Magic the Gathering :s the other photo is a highlight of pre release dice people sold to me make so happy will show the whole collection soon as it’s about to grow again soon. :D
I have 41 sets of dice. I've restricted myself to orange sets only (my favorite color) although some are admittedly less orange than others. I've only lost a few dice here or there.
Some are special editions. 2 sets are glass. Several set are metal and 1 set looks like metal but isn't, and the set in the box is scented. They stay in the box to preserve the smell. The clown fish set is silicone and can bounce like mad, but they are great for secret DM rolls.
This is my storage method - 5 to 6 sets in each pouch and they are kept in the sachel. My active dice are in the P4A box and always includes the pizza dice. I swap out sets from time to time.
They are from q workshop, I also bought 36d6 from chessex for warhammer games and use their box for theese, because they look cool and I like when they stand on my desk
saw this listed on 1985 dice's amazon store for their mystery set, but I have not been able to find this set specifically. I'd like to get two and I hate gambling so I can't buy mystery bags until I get them.
I just found this d4 while digging through my box of random stuff. I'm pretty sure I got it with TSR's 1981 Expert Set. The dice were all this unpleasant sort of beigy-pink color, so I painted mine silver. I guess I'll put it back in regular circulation.
Found a mason jar with some dice for $10. I found it interesting so I bought it. These are so cool!
