Roll the dice

Jestersmith · Posted Sun 05 Mar, 2023 11:59 AM

So this weekend I was dragged (didn't mind it tbf) into playing D&D for the 1st time.

So this was run by my Brother in Law who has been playing since 77 so he certainly knows what he is doing. But he is not very tech minded and in conversation, he was telling me and the lad about some bits and one turned out to be some dice that he has not been able to find again no matter how hard he has looked so I said I would look about online for him to see if I can find. Anyway one of my thoughts was to see if anyone here has any idea.

He is also after a complete set if anyone knows where you can get them.

Pearl effect with what looks like pearls inside when looking close

These aren't quite the same but they're the closest thing I've seen to the one above. Unfortunately, it looks like they're not easy to get as I think this is place is in Bulgaria and it looks like they only do store pick up.

These appear to be the same ones from a US store.

These are close too, but again not exactly right.

Yeah, I think they were initially from Korea so maybe something custom to who they were bought from then.

I took a quick look around, these people seem to have a few https://darkelfdice.com/collections/pearl-dice

but there seems to be an issue with shipping to Germany....

I love D&D and love my shiny math rocks! I run weekly online game

For my clickety clacks (dice) I buy mine from Mint And Mustard online, a small uk based seller. https://mintmustard.co.uk/

Etsy is a fantastic place to find Dice and other D&D accessories.

I don't want to say that this is simple to make because I don't want to insult people who take the time and effort to craft these, but I used to do dice like these, and it would not be difficult to find a custom dice maker on Etsy or even TikTok who could make these for you. It looks like a clear acrylic with mother-of-pearl beads. You could even pick up a kit at your local craft store and try it yourself. The beads would be separate, but craft stores usually carry those also. Otherwise, I would say just get something similar from Etsy they have some beautiful options for opal and mother-of-pearl.

I just buy cheap dice.

But the one in the OP looks like it also comes from a polyhedral set, so not just D20s, could try and track down the D20s that look the same. Could also, roll the dice, and get a mixed bag of dice, see if you get lucky!

I'll keep an eye out at my local game shop.

I have that die in Jester’s post. I’m sure like Three says it come from a mixed set with other coloured ones of assorted types.
