The world is full of gamers and life itself is essentially a RPG game. We’re spending billions of hours weekly playing online games from World Of WarCraft to Diablo that we forget to show a little love to classic offline games like Dungeons and Dragons and Magic The Gathering. In most popular RPG games dice are an essential commodity. With 3D printing and Shapeways you’re no longer limited to the traditional boring dice sets. Here are a few fantastic 3D printed dice sets to help you take your gaming and dice recreational activities to the next level.

Gaming gives us an outlet to escape from our normal lives and allows one to become something else unbound from reality. Gaming has the power to incentive, motivate, and reward behavior that makes us want to do more, be more, and achieve more. Let us know in a comment what’s your favorite game either online or offline. Also here’s a great TED Talk by Jane McGonigal on how gaming can make the world a better place to live in.

From what I could find on-line, some of the earliest examples of 20-sided dice were from ancient Egypt’s Ptolemaic period (first or second century) featuring Greek characters alpha-upsilon.
I love the celtic dice set. I should really make something like that myself some day.
