I last updated this post in May 2026, removing any sets that are permanently out of stock / unavailable and adding some newly released designs…

Cast your mind back to the first time you played Dungeons & Dragons. If your experience was anything like mine, then you were spellbound not only by the game itself but also by the mysterious and beautiful polyhedral dice, that came in all sorts of varieties of number of sides, shapes and colours.

I was all of 11-years-old at the time, and rolling them was such a thrill… plus they came with the tacit acknowledgement that I’d graduated from mainstream board games and joined a secretive cabal of sophisticated RPG players, who needed way cooler dice to play way cooler games.

After playing for a year or so, I’d just about come to terms with how cool D&D dice were when a friend went and showed up to a session with a set of transparent ‘gem’ rollers. My jaw dropped. I had to have some! This would have been the early 90s, and I was lucky enough to have a Games Workshop on my local high street, so the next weekend I marched up there and bought my own set. Yep, dice envy is most definitely a thing amongst gamers!

To this day I still collect new dice for Dungeons & Dragons, especially when I see a set that thematically fits with a new character or campaign. And I will never ever ever use a random number generator or simulated dice, even when I’m playing on a Virtual Tabletop. Don’t you dare suggest it!

As part of a series of posts on tools for playing the game, here is my mega-post on how and where to shop for RPG dice, with a selection of stunning stone and metal dice sets that make for the perfect D&D gift (and that includes for yourself!). The post contains some affiliate links too, and more importantly some discounts I’ve negotiated for Hipsters & Dragons readers!

What to Look For When Buying Dice?

Personal preference is obviously your driving decision maker here, and shopping for dice can be as simple as snapping up a set that looks cool to you! However, let me share a few ‘expert’ factors I consider when buying dice online.

Material. The vast majority of dice are made of plastic (with resin considered higher quality than acrylic), however in recent years both metal and gemstone dice have become popular, while you can also find glass, wooden and even bone dice. Acrylic dice are the most affordable (usually $8-15 a set), while resin, metal and stone dice are considered premium products, due to their higher material cost. These might cost between $30-100 for a set of 7.

Size. The standard size of a d20 is 16-20mm (around 2/3rds of an inch), but they can be as small as 12mm across. I don’t mind if they are larger than standard, but less than 16mm starts to feel a little puny, so I try to check the technical specifications when buying online (if I can find them!).

Edges. Edges can vary in how rounded, or not, they are. While it might be just a fad, those sharp-edged dice sure look awesome to me!

Font. I pay a lot of attention to both font style and colour, because the right combination completes a perfect set of dice. An ugly font meanwhile can ruin an otherwise beautiful product. If you’re shopping for your “main set” of dice, you will also want to consider readability.

Set Composition. Typically polyhedral dice come in sets of seven, consisting of one d20, a d12, two d10s (that can be rolled together to make a d100… one of the dice is sometimes referred to as a d%), a d8, a d6 and a d4. This is to meet the needs of Dungeons & Dragons players, as they are by far the biggest demographic of RPG player – although other games that require the same dice include Pathfinder, Starfinder, Daggerheart, Tales of the Valiant, Shadowdark and many many D&D clones and derivatives.

Carrying Case. A beautiful set of dnd dice deserve a beautiful container! Sure, I can buy this separately, but if my set comes in a beautiful bag, case or tin so much the better.

Shipping costs. Obviously you need to factor in delivery costs when shopping online, especially if you’re not based in America.

33+ Stunning D&D Dice Sets!

Dice making has really become an art form in the last few years, perfected by independent retailers and artisans, and you can find absolutely gorgeous rollers if you know where to look… let me be your guide!

I’m going to divide this list by material, because that’s a key driver in quality of product and price. If you see something you really like, take my advice and buy it! A lot of these sets are dependent on stock, or created for Kickstarters, and may never be made again… I’ve already seen a few beauties slip through my fingers.

Metal Dice Sets

Let’s start by having a look at some classy metallic sets. Metal dice feel heavy in the hand, and are best rolled in a tray. Most sets come up smaller than your average plastic or stone set.

1. Thunder of Dragons Hollow Metal Dice

There’s only one way to start this list and that’s with Awesome Dice’s Thunder of Dragons dice, which, not only look amazing, but seem to crackle with tempestuous energy when they jostle together. It’s a good job they are hollow, because these dice are significantly larger than your standard set, and – combined with their intricately wrought dragon motifs and font – they tumble mighty-impressively on the table. If Dungeons & Dragons is your RPG of choice, then look no further for your new favourite dice set! Pictured are the classic design, but I ended up selecting the silver versions which I think are even more elegant (and judging by the reviews are the most popular in general). Price $69…. but keep reading for a discount!

Awesome Dice Discount: Awesome Dice have kindly offered a discount to my readers. Just enter HIPDRAGON10 in the discount code field when you check out to save 10% on Thunder of Dragons, or any other, purchase.

2. Dragon Scale Metal Dice

Sticking with the dragon theme, these Dragon Scale dice sets by Only Crits are available in a range of colours, including emerald, amethyst, turquoise, red and green, purple and green, and these blue and orange dice (pictured). I took my own photo above, because the photos on the website don’t do them justice! If you’re playing a dragonborn, you may have just found you new set… while they’d also be great for DMs running any of D&D’s dragon-heavy storylines. Available on Only Crits for $40 (use the drop down menu to select the colour).

Golden Dragon Scale: I would be doing you a disservice if I didn’t also draw your attention to this set of dragon scale rollers (above), that comes with a dragon eye in place of a 1, and the official D&D ampersand instead of a 20! Available on FanRoll (grab a 10% discount with promo code DUNCAN10).

3. Triton Copper Blue Metal Dice

I love the shimmering blue inset below the smooth light copper mould of these dice, which make them such an eye-catching set. The font and geometric faces give them a bit of a sci-fi feel, and they would be perfect for a Star Wars campaign, or any other space opera RPG, while the similar emerald and silver set would be perfect for a space horror game, such as Mothership. Very reasonably priced at $36. Shop on Awesome Dice’s website, for both the blue and copper, and the green and silver versions.

4. Antique Gold Metal Dice (16mm)

Elegance and gravitas. That’s what I want from a set of metal rollers, and that’s exactly what this set by FanRoll delivers. They are standard size for a metal set, i.e. slightly smaller than your average plastic set, with the d20 measuring 16mm across. While you could opt for a more glossy gold finish, such as with this set, I think the slightly worn “antique” gold look is somehow classier… as if you’d dug them out from the depths of a treasure chest deep in the dungeon! The antique silver and copper sets are also pretty classy.

5. King’s Arsenal Metal Dice (in 6 Colours)

I recently offered a new player at my table their choice of all my dice collection and they immediately reached for these eye-catching fellas that are as handsome as a guardsman in full royal livery. Reassuringly hefty, I also like the shorn-off edges on the d4, d6 and d8. After much deliberation, I plucked for Copper Blue (pictured), but I could easily have gone for Gold Black or the Blood-spattered Silver. Available on Only Crits for $44 (with a 15% discount for Hipsters and Dragons readers!).

6. Pocket Dice (in Pocket Watch Case)

Cases don’t come much more stylish than in this series of miniature dice, which come in a variety of distinctly-designed pocket watch cases. I am currently creating my own steampunk RPG, so I couldn’t resist the “doohickies and thingamabobs” set which is decorated with cogs and gears on one side, and 19th century style engravings on the reverse. The dice themselves are tiny, making them a bit impractical to roll… however the font is well chosen to be readable at a small size, and the fun factor makes this series a great choice in my opinion. Aside from this steampunk / artificer themed set (pictured), other sets come with a rogue, bard, death, and Celtic dragon motif. Only $14-16 dollars on the Awesome Dice website.

Gemstone Dice Sets

While I own some incredible metal sets, if pressed, I would have to say that stone dice are my favourite style of rollers. Like metallic dice, they have a wonderful weight in the hand, but whereas “gold” dice are just “gold-coloured” (not real gold!), stone dice are fashioned from bona fide gemstones: like obsidian, quartz, tiger’s eye, amethyst, jade, opal and bloodstone. Best of all, each set is completely unique owing to the varied colouration and veins in the natural stone they are hewn from.

7. Labradorite Essence by Only Crits

I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say, that these labradorite dice are the most elegant set of shakers I own. They are the kind of rollers that will have fellow gamers cooing over the table in your direction. The overall colour is a more prosaic grey-green than the bluer tones seen in the marketing shots: but, when they catch the light just right, suddenly you’ll see a single façade glimmer gold, turquoise and blue. The light actually seems to penetrate into the dice and find textures within the stone. Magical stuff! Shop on Only Crits who offer a money back guarantee, and a 15% discount (see below!).

8. Amethyst Gemstone Dice with Gold Font

Amethysts are my favourite precious stones, so no surprise that I fell in love with this set from Magiseven. I love the visible textures and veins, while the stylised gold font feels like the perfect compliment to these purple gems. To me, this set gives off a mystical vibe that would perfectly suit a chronomancer, sorcerer, or divination wizard. If you are shopping for a gift, I also think the timeless charm and durability of amethyst would make them a lifelong companion for the D&D player in your life! $58.99. (For another amethyst option check out Only Crits).

9. Cracked Marble Stone Dice

Another popular set by Only Crits, these rollers could easily be hewn from the crumbling pillars of a forgotten civilisation and carry a little bit of that ancient mystique with them. Given their black and white colouring, gold was the right choice for the font IMHO. Available on Only Crits for $80 with lifetime warranty and free returns if you don’t like them. Plus don’t forget your 15% discount!

Prefer colourful dice? I also like the “Imperial Stone” range of marbled dice by FanRoll, which come with bright blue, purple, red or green colouring. Use DUNCAN10 to save 10%.

10. Blue Sandstone ‘Night Sky’ Dice

I confess I had no idea that a mineral as prosaic-sounding as ‘sandstone’ could be so beautiful, but do an image search for ‘blue sandstone’ and you’ll discover a precious stone that mirrors a a deep indigo night sky sparkling with a thousand stars. This set by Magiseven is perfect for any divination wizard or space traveller, and would also be a dazzling choice for a Circle of the Stars druid in your Dungeons & Dragons campaign. Affordable at $45.99, especially if you consider Magiseven deliver free to Europe, Canada and the USA. Click the button below, or browse all of Magiseven’s gemstone dice range.

11. Cat’s Eye Gemstone Dice

For simple and playful elegance, it is hard to beat a set of cat’s eye dice… so called because the gemstone reflects the light like a feline’s gaze, an effect known as chatoyancy. Magiseven offer three gorgeous hues of cat’s eye dice: light blue (pictured), royal blue and purple, as well as a distinctive Tiger’s Eye set. Their sets are very well-priced at around the $40 dollar mark, and they deliver free to Europe, Canada and the States. Great for any occasion, but surely a must-have for any tabaxi characters out there!

12. Blood Hex Stone Dice

African bloodstone is a precious gemstone with black, green and gold shades and distinctive red spots. This set harnesses those crimson blotches to evoke a practitioner of blood magic. They also make me want to roll up a Totem of the Lion, Leopard or Cheetah barbarian!

13. Black Rutilated Quartz Dice

I’ve got a lot of dice at home… so when I’m shopping for a new set, I am looking for something I have never seen before! That’s exactly what I got with this collection of striking stones that have already drawn a few envious glances at the table. The glassy white quartz gains a zebra like quality from the black rutile, while the red font is the perfect compliment to the otherwise monochrome façades. Come to think of it, there’s a bit of an 80s vibe about the overall affect… like stepping into your Lamborghini Countach in a white suit and black shirt. Available on FanRoll’s website for $99.99.

Glass Dice Sets

If you’re looking to one-up your fellow die collectors, then consider the simple elegant beauty of a set of glass rollers. Keep an eye out for prismatic (dichroic) glass dice in particular, which use NASA-developed technology to reflect rainbow hues over your table…

14. Prismatic Dice Set by Magiseven

If you love the play of light on glass, you’ll love this iridescent dice set which really do blaze from within with kaleidoscopic colours. The ever-shifting hues would make these dice the perfect choice for any wizard or sorcerer who tries to bend the maverick Fates to their will, or any Fey character or cleric of the Light. I own this set and they are amongst my most eye-catching pieces. Available from Magiseven for $73.99.

15. Frosted Prismatic Dice by Magiseven

What, you can get these bad boys frosted now!? Magiseven are back with another prismatic dice set, which if anything is more beautiful than their original dichroic dados. My set arrived in 2026 and are absolutely my most spectacular set. They pick up the light from any angle or source and seem lit from within with colourful prisms. They even have a distinct rough “frosted” texture. Thematically perfect for a Rime of the Frostmaiden campaign! One word of warning however: the transparent numbering, while beautiful, is quite hard to read. If you play in dim lit, or have bad eyesight, they might not be the best choice. More photos and a useful video on the Magiseven website. $80.99.

Collector’s Sets

I’m gonna interrupt this broadcast to introduce a fun official Dungeons & Dragons mystery box, and one or two other unique collections…

16. Fizban’s Fortune Mystery Box

A great option for collectors and avid D&D fans alike, this mystery box is an officially branded treasure chest with a random die inside of varying rarity, from “common” all the way up to “epic”, “legendary” and “mythic”. Much like collector card games, you don’t get to decide on your design, you roll the proverbial die and then end up with whatever literal die that Bahamut (or Tiamat!) decides you are worthy of. All the oversized dice boast original designs, and they all come with the official Dungeons & Dragons ampersand as their natural 20. FanRoll sent me a box, which turned out to the “rare” sharp-edge Shadow Dragon. I’ll take that! Plus, in the first session I unveiled it, I think I scored about 4 or 5 critical hits. You can buy yours on FanRoll (and save 10% with DUNCAN10).

17. F*ck Me / You Dice by Only Crits

The result of a highly successful Kickstarter campaign, these sweary shakers come with a forceful “F*CK YOU” instead of a 20, and a rueful “F*CK ME” instead of a natural 1, making crits and fumbles at your table even more fun and impactful. I counted 27 different designs on the Only Crits website, and for each design you can choose to purchase just the d20 ($24), or else a full eight piece set ($70), which includes both a foul-mouthed d20 and a standard one, along with the usual array. I ordered the purple dragon “liquid core” eye set, because what’s better than rolling a critical hit with a F*ck You message and a draconic death stare?

Sharp Edge Resin Dice Sets

When it comes to plastic dice, resin is a more expensive alternative to acrylic and allows for a better finish and clarity on many designs. Indeed, some of the sexiest dice on the market are made from resin, and I especially love those cut with sharp edges. (Do bear in mind that they’re not as heavy as metal or stone dice, and for that reason they don’t feel quite so ‘premium’ as their counterparts when they are handled).

18. Supernova Remnant

A sharp edge set I couldn’t resist getting my hands on, these translucent dice live up to their name with their brooding nebulous quality. Their complexity and beauty seeming to reflect an exploratory cruise through a mysterious solar system, fraught with danger. I love the long thin presentation box they arrive in. Available to buy on Only Crits for $56.

19. Prismatic Soul

These stunning kaleidoscopic sharp-edge dice just scream spellcaster to me, and this set is top of my list for my next dice shopping spree. The dice interiors seem to brim with raw magic and chaos, and I love the way they catch the light from deep within. The clear white font prevents this set from becoming too whimsical. Hand-crafted from start to finish, this set costs $99.

20. Necromancer’s Brew

Made from semi-transparent resin and strewn with flecks of gold filaments, these indigo-black and bileous green rollers tumble onto the table with the menace of a cosmic hangover induced by whichever potion the party necromancer tricked you into drinking. The price of $29.43 is about as cheap as sharp-edge shakers get… making this an economic way to animate your shopping cart.

21. Celestial Heart

A mega best-seller on Only Crits, these purple nasties seem to crackle with arcane energy and scream wild sorcerer or warlock, or any other spellcaster hellbent on channelling dangerous power to their advantage. Comes with a lovely carrying case, and the Only Crits 30-day moneyback guarantee. Plus don’t forget your discount! Pick up your Celestial Hearts here. $60.

22. Saltwater Sharp Edge: Phosphorescence

Stop press! I’ve netted my all-time favourite set of shakers. Saltwater Phosphorescence captures the calming beauty of a Thai beach, with white sands mingling with the turquoise and blue lapping waves. The sprinkling of stardust visible in the dice’s façades hints at their nighttime surprise – they glow like bioluminescent algae in the dark! Currently $51.69 with Awesome Dice.

23. Class Dice (Monk, Bard, Rogue, Wizard…)

Ever searched for the perfect dice match for your class, and found the market wanting? Only Crits felt like there weren’t enough specific designs out there to vibe with the core D&D character classes and set out to remedy that. The result was these 12 pastel coloured sets, one for each of the classes in the Player’s Handbook. Each set features small thematic icons (my wizard’s set features hat, staff, spellbook etc), easy-to-read-font, and a layer of thin clear resin over the top, giving them a unique “encased” look. Check all 12 designs here.

24. The Dice of the Scarab

If I could jump into that rippling turquoise surface of these Egyptian-themed dice and bath in it I would. The gold scarab beetle, that marks the number 20, represents renewal, rebirth and growth – so perfect for a cleric, paladin or druid. There’s something roguish about this set too… they look like dice a sly thief might have swiped from a pharaoh’s tomb.

Liquid Core Resin Dice Sets

Ok they might be a gimmick, but they are a very cool gimmick indeed! Liquid core dice have moving parts in the middle – a bit like having one of those vintage snow globes inside your rollers. Sometimes these ‘liquid cores’ are filled with cloudy vapours or glittering particles, but the best are definitely those with eyes that follow you around…

25. Dragon Eye Green Liquid Core

What DM wouldn’t want a set of these creepy craps to freak out their players as they roll to hit and damage? They will certainly give an unsettling edge to your combat encounters, particularly if your party is fighting a dragon this week! I love the green set, but red and blue dragon eyes are also available. Shop on Only Crits for $60, where you can select your preferred colour.

Only Crits Discount: Enter HIPDRAGON15 in the discount field when you check out to save 15%!

Prefer Regular (Human) Eyeballs? Then try this range instead, available in yellow, purple, green and blue.

26. Elixir Liquid Core Range (Divine Sanctuary)

This glitteringly gorgeous range of liquid dice by FanRoll, includes evocative titles like Aether Abstract, Psychic Infusion and Dragon Stare. I am actually the proud owner of the Divine Sanctuary set (pictured), which combine a translucent cerulean blue base, gold filament and the swirling sparkling snowball of a liquid core. A couple of features to note are that the D4 has shorn off points, and that the set’s numbers are bigger than usual. The latter feature is arguably a touch inelegant, but it does make for way easier reading of the dice…. something I’m coming to appreciate more and more with my rollers! Overall, they are undeniably eye-catching and dubbed ‘beautiful’ by my players in our last session!

Plastic Dice Sets

While glass, metal and stone sets make for perfect collector’s items or gifts, you don’t have to spend big to pick up an attractive set for your next session. As these scintillating acrylic dice prove… plus fanboys and girls can pick up some branded babies to roll.

27. Harry Potter Gryffindor Dice Set

I was a bit too old for Pottermania, but if you’re a fan of Harry and co. then these attractive dice will look great in your collection, and a nice choice for any Strixhaven campaign. They could also make a great gift for the Potterhead in your life!

28. The Witcher Dice (Geralt, Ciri, Yennefer…)

When I first tried to watch The Witcher I found it a bit silly and nonsensical. But hey, I gave it some more time and ended up watching every season! These dice are made by Q Workshop from Poland, so you be pretty sure they are true fans of the series (based on the books of Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski). I love this white ‘Law of Surprise’ set (pictured), but you can find several sets on Awesome Dice, flavoured by your favourite Witcher character. Price $35.99.

29. ‘Little Friends’ Transparent Dice Range

For a fun-loving set of dice that don’t take themselves too seriously look no further than Only Crits “Little Friends” range of transparent rollers. Each die has a cute critter within, such as rubber duckies (pictured), froggos, pandas or toadstools and is usually available in a range of colours. They are sure to raise a smile and provide some joke fodder at the table! On the other hand, if ladybugs, dinos, turtles, and penguins are too cutesy, you might shop for some of the grittier Little Friends. Android Gears, Wizards Phylactery and Compass Core are great choices for grognards like me who take their RPGs (too) seriously.

30. The Abyss RPG Dice

You’ll be hard pressed to find a better looking 7 piece plastic set than these glittery critters that do indeed hint at the chaos and unknown of the abyss. Absolutely perfect for a warlock, this set should work well for any magic user, planes walker or star traveller. Bizarrely priced at $11.47.

Awesome Dice Discount: Remember to enter HIPDRAGON10 in the discount code field when you check out to save 10% on all purchases!

31. Unicorn Dice Range (Rainbow Ice)

These limited edition dice are the result of a Kickstarter by FanRoll dice, but you can still grab a set on their website for now. They vary from the absolutely whimsical Rainbow Ice (pictured), where each die has a different coloured font, to the simple and elegant (Black) Ice set or the glittery, purple and gold Midnight Fantasy design. If you like unicorns, you will find a set you like! Affordable at just $14.99.

32. ‘Bardic Inspiration’ Cannabis Dice

I think every table has one player that would appreciate this inspiring set. As cloudy as a tent at Woodstock, with a familiar leaf in place of the 20. A great gift idea for your pothead pals. Aside from bards, these seem like the perfect dice for a druid or ranger, or any other character with a love of ‘plant life’. Less than $15 on Awesome Dice.

Awesome Dice Discount: Remember to enter HIPDRAGON10 in the discount code field when you check out to save 10% on all purchases!

33. Lustrous Shadow Acrylic Set

Proof that you don’t have to fork out a small fortune for good looking tumblers, the swirling patterns of these shakers has a hypnotic quality, while the moody hues make these perfect for any player who likes to tread the thin line between good and evil. Only $13 on Awesome Dice.

Silicon Dice Sets

Another new trend in the dice making world, these handsome rubber dice are somewhat bouncy and squish a bit under pressure (i.e. less painful to step on). They offer a muted roll, rather than a noisy clatter, and they are safe to roll on surfaces like your TV, if you use a screen as a gaming table.

34. Sharp Edge Silicon Dice Set (Gold Scatter)

Another great marketplace with a silicon dice range is FanRoll where you can pick up the likes of these ‘Gold Scatter’ dice that mimic the flecks of distant stars in a jet black sky. There’s something a bit sinister and menacing about the light grey font and there’s a definitely a ‘in space, no one can hear you scream‘ vibe about these bad boys that means I’ll be packing them for my next ALIEN or Mothership gaming session.

More Silicon Dice: For a bunch more colourful options check out the whole of FanRoll’s silicone dice collection, which includes rainbow colours, dragon scales and a vast range of bright coloured rollers featuring the 9 flags of the LGBTQIA+ community.

Bone Dice Sets

Aren’t bone dice a bit macabre? Maybe… but they’re also damn cool! If your character comes from a society that worships their ancestors, or fashions trinkets from the animals they hunt (or enemies they kill!), then a set of bone shakers could evoke the right spirit at the table. (Update: the sets I found are no longer available but will hopefully find some in stock soon).

Dice Trays

If you’ve invested heavily in stone or resin dice in particular, then you might want to protect your new treasures by purchasing a dice tray to roll them in. Dice trays offer a soft surface that ensures your dice don’t get chipped, and also stops them falling off the table and onto the floor… a classic way to damage more expensive dice. They also protect your dining room table from getting damaged by the dice, which metal and sharp edge dice can scratch.

1. D&D Masterwork Series Dice Tray

Fans of classic D&D art behold these dice trays and weep tears of nostalgic joy! The exterior has a faux-leather finish, while the interior feature stunning works by the likes of Larry Elmore, Jess Easley and Erol Otus, from the heady days of AD&D in the late 70s and 80s. Browse the range on FanRoll, priced $25.

2. Hexagonal Dice Tray (Reversible, 7 Colours)

Does a hexagonal dice tray allow the dice to roll around that bit longer than a square one? I have no idea to be honest, but if so that might explain the popularity of this six-sided tray by Only Crits that has garnered plenty of positive reviews. Available in 7 different colours, you can choose to mount the tray with either the PU leather or the coloured felt on the inside. (The photo shows the leather on the inside and felt on the outside, but it would look better and be more practical to do the opposite. The leather is wipe clean and you don’t want the felt to get grubby). Price $20 on Only Crits.

3. Black Leather Dice Tray

Unfussy and affordable, this square black leather dice tray by Awesome Dice is an economical way to protect your dice – and it barely takes up any room in your bag, if you’re travelling around to play in person. Just $9.99.

4. Spellscroll Case & Tray

This enchanting accessory is a case and tray and one. You can zip your dice in a cylindrical pouch, which also unfurls to create a padded surface on which to roll your metal or gemstone dice, without scratching the table / damaging your dice. Comes in either an iridescent draconic design, classic tan colour, plain black or a lilac. Priced $36, on Only Crits.

Dice Gifts & Accessories

Aside from the dice themselves, let’s take a look at a few cool accessories that could also make the perfect D&D gift…

1. Dice Palace (Travel & Display Case)

If, like me, you have a serious dice collecting problem, you’re gonna need somewhere to store those bad boys…. preferably in a way that you can show them off! Step up the “dice palace” by KakapopoTCG. This sturdy travel and display case can store 13 sets of D&D dice, or twice that if you opt for the double-sided display. The single-sided case has an additional level of foam to protect your dice when travelling. I have two of these palaces and I really love them. My only complaint is that the holes for the dice are quite deep and so smaller dice get obscured by shadows. I solved this by putting a couple of chair leg felt pads in each recess so that my dice sit higher up and are more visible. Available on Amazon.
