Got some new stuff on the store. #dice #dnd #ttrpg

A 30mm d20 chonk. The colors are a reddish pink and green with black numbers. It looks like a watermelon. Not edible.

A set of polyhedral dungeons and dragons geode dice. Inspired by Star Wars and named after the song Duel of the Fates. The base color is black and there's red glitter inside the geode. The numbers are painted red.
