🎲 We could not be more grateful for these insanely gorgeous custom dice @thefeyportal very kindly made for the Demons & Daughters party! Ft an equally gorgeous Rosalindcore dice tray.

We had the best experience working with them & could not recommend them more!

A chonky dark green d20 with dark black edges and numbers displaying a red 1. Around it, the black cameo necklace Thalia wears and her signet ring

A white hexagonal dice tray with an interiro pattern of pink ribbons, holding a pastel pink chonky d20 with a line of black like a crack through it and a black d20 on front, amidst white lace, rose hairpins, and Rosalind's signet ring

Three chonk d20s, one dark green burnished black, one pastel pink with a line of black like cracking through the middle, and one blue swirled with yellow like marble , a white hexagonal dice tray with a small hot pink d20 inside in the background

🎩 Demons & Daughters: FINAL ACT COMING SOON 🕯

Continuing our Act III portraits with Miss Agatha Pentecost, played by the @morneputmantrimmer.bsky.social in an award-nominated performance.
