Saturday, March 4 is International GMs’ day, when we celebrate the game masters, dungeon masters, referees, and storytellers. Of course, a dungeon or game master is nothing without her dice. One roll can make or break a game, deciding whether a character defeats a dragon or gets roasted to cinders by it. You can\u2019t trust these matters of fate to just any dice. You need a set with character.<\/p>\n

\"Die1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

1. For the prickliest of GMs, we recommend the Thorn Dice Set by CeramicWombat<\/a>. Though they look sharp, the maker says they won\u2019t scratch tables.<\/p>\n

\"Twined<\/a><\/p>\n

2. The ‘Twined’ Dice Gaming Die Set<\/a> in steel by Tiny Tokens<\/a> has been crafted to ensure that each die is \u201cfair and well-balanced\u201d for unbiased throws.<\/p>\n

\"Die3\"<\/a><\/p>\n

3. For those who prefer a lighter-weight die, Figurebang<\/a> D20 Bone Dice are made \u201cfrom the littlest finger bones of only the luckiest elven children.\u201d Well, not really, actually they are 3D printed in white plastic with a smooth white finish, ready for hand painting if you prefer.<\/p>\n

With dice like these, you\u2019re practically guaranteed to come out the victor. Want to see more? Check out dice<\/a> crafted by makers from all over the world.<\/p>\n
