Warlocks, dragons, and fantastic beasts are just some of the exciting characters found in the renowned Dungeons & Dragons game. The popularity of the game thrives on player’s imaginations, which is the only limit, where anything can happen, and no two games are the same.
Your dice can be the reason you win or lose a game, and many players have a holistic attachment to their collection of dice. You’ll find players battling monsters using metal, wood, plastic, and even gemstone dice sets. Let’s take a look at the best sets to invest in this year.
Antique Twin Role Playing Set
Adding the air of mystery to any game is a twin set of playing dice in an old rustic finish. This unique set of dice is made of solid metal alloy. The distressed finish is what gives it that antique look. It includes two full sets of dice, one in silver and one bronze.
Players will enjoy the wooden padded box that houses the dice, perfect for traveling between games—designed explicitly for playing tabletop games like Dungeons and Dragons. In any game during a fight, the dice are crucial, and these antique dice are perfect, as they are weighted and feel comfortable in your hand.
Metal Call of Cthulhu RPG Dice Set
These are the perfect dice for full immersion into the imaginary world of D&D. The Call of Cthulhu dice set is themed around a horror game but customized as a D&D RPG dice set. The twist and turns of the decorations give the dice a creepy feeling of the unknown and beyond.
Made from supreme metal and cast with ornamented numbers, the metallic cling, when the dice are rolled, brings to mind the meeting of swords between two opponents.
These unique dice originate from Poland and are boasted to be practically indestructible. So, of course, the dice have a “longer than lifelong” guarantee, according to the manufacturer. Painted black, because there wasn’t a darker color, each die is adorned with fanged mouths of madness in the corners, and sculpted tentacles ooze off the edges.
Tiamat’s Fate Metal Dice Sets (Limited Edition)
Inspired by a passionate player of the game, this custom set of dice capture the powers of the Dragon Goddess Tiamat. Her power infused into a massive Metal D6. The dice are 20mm per die and weigh a hefty 2 ounces each, so there isn’t a chance of the dice discriminating towards the same number consistently.
The main component of the dice is zinc alloy. Each die is embossed with dragon heads on one side and numerals on the rest of the sides. Bold primary colors are glossed over the giant dice, bringing a contrast that reflects the battle between good and evil in D&D.
Any player that owns a limited edition set can consider themselves lucky, and can rightly brag as to its uniqueness.
Oblivion Crystal RPG Dice
Time to smash conventional thinking of what dice should look like, and the shape they should be. You can’t find a more unique D&D dice set then the Oblivion dice shaped in elongated cones. Each die is a geometric shape, with sides of precisely the same size.
This guarantees random numbers, and the black and green eldritch colors are hypnotic and beautiful to the eye. The set includes seven crystal game dice. D4, D6, D8, D10, D20, and the percentile die are all included. A beautifully haunting design.
Underdark Wood Dice Set
There are as many different types of dice available as there are stories and characters in D&D. At d20collective.com, there are 174 varieties. One of the more unusual sets is a wooden version of seven pieces. This unique set has a light wood background with blue stripes and white embedded numbers.
What makes this stand out is that it’s a wooden set, which is not usually as popular as the metal ones, because of the weight. These wooden sets are manufactured to the highest standards and weighted to compensate for any lightness in the wood. The simplicity of design, and the fact that the dice do not discriminate, make them a popular choice.
Go Forth and Conquer
Overall the choice of using standard D&D dice or finding something more unique is a personal choice. Some players prefer traditional plastic dice, which they feel makes the games fair for all players, whereas others like to show their individuality with something more unique. Take your pick from this intriguing selection or find something else you like. There’s a lot to choose from.
