I apologize to @longdogdice.com for bring a terrible photographer, but I'm so excited to have these beauties in hand! My custom dice for Fiach-of-the-Rowan are so stunning in person! Thank you Jenn!!! (And @mikylsandoval.bsky.social as always for the beautiful art of my fierce bird girl)

A hand holding a 7 piece set of dice. They are dark with a greenish purple shimmer, almost like an oil slick. There is also red foil smattering them. They are unless in a black metallic ink, except for the 20 on the d20 and the d4, which are inked in red.

An illustration of Fiach-of-the-Rowan, a Harpy women with large black wings that have an oil slick purple/blue/gradient. She is standing with one leg up, holding a whip that is twisted around her body. Below her knee, she legs are digitrade and feathers, ending in raptor like feet. Her arms below her elbows are similarly feathers and ends in claws. Her skin is pale and she's not wearing much in the way of clothing, basically some drapes black cloth and a little bit of silver chainmail. This expose her massive this and also a lot of scarring. On her chest is a blood red tattoo of a tree.

I'm off existing as an actual person! Shipping will resume when I'm back next week. Message may get answered in the meantime if I've got a free moment but otherwise responses will likely be delayed til next week as well.

Be good to each other and don't eat your dice.

The point is shipping will be paused while I'm out, so if you're eyeing anything you've only got a couple of days to get those orders in!

Here's a video of the Scarlett dice, which is much closer to how the color looks in person vs the photos!

Some day I will learn how to properly shoot warm colors, but it is not this day.

To be fair she's more of a harmacist kind of cleric 😂

All of these designs will join the Horizon's Call one as a made-to-order option in the coming days.

You'll be able to choose either single d20s or the full sets, and with full sets you'll be able to choose your preferred d4 and d12 shapes along with the standard or @swordandkey.bsky.social logo d6!

Last but not least, the tiefling tempest cleric Kallista (played by me!).

Greyish blue resin with silver mica swirls and gold sparkle highlights. This is probably the most unpredictable set of them all with how much the gold can change from pour to pour, which feels like a metaphor to unpack 😅

Character are of Kallista by Mikyl Sandoval. She is a tiefling with light blue skin and dark blue shoulder length hair. Her left horn has cracks that have been filled in with gold. She is wearing a chainmail tunic and holding a warhammer with lightning coming off of it.

Up next is Proximus, the shadow sorcerer / oath of the infinite seas paladin / himbo, played by @mikylsandoval.bsky.social.

Shimmery light blue with streaks and swirls of copper, with metallic black numbers and copper for the high faces.

It's your best friend, the alchemical artificer Wynni! @evaserrate.bsky.social sent me what could only be described as an unhinged yet perfect mood board collage to go off of.

Shimmery teal mixed with an unholy amount of red foil. Is the foil red drink? Chaos tonic? An homage to Kurtulmak? Yes!

Character art of Wynni by Mikyl Sandoval. She is a teal green sea elf with darker teal hair in high pigtails. She has an absurd number of pouches and belts with an equally absurd number of vials of colored liquids.

Everyone's favorite literal horse girl - Acacia, the circle of stars druid / soulknife rogue played by @archmageofdice.bsky.social.

Grey resin with colorshifting mica swirls and a hint of glitter, with stars and handpainted golden rings to represent her armillary sphere casting focus!

Character art of Acacia by Mikyl Sandoval. She is a centaur with brown and white hair in a long braid holding a celestial themed armillary sphere. She is wearing a brown leather armor vest with matching braces on her forearms and a shawl draped behind her and over both of her arms.

First up - the siren storm sorcerer Scarlett Shours (you gotta count out the alliteration on your fingers when you say it or it doesn't count) played by @kayemcea.bsky.social.

Pink resin with flashes of mylar & glitter, and metallic teal numbers. Pics look more neon than they actually are I swear.

Character art of Scarlett by Mikyl Sandoval. She is a siren with light skin, pink hair, and a prosthetic arm conjuring some golden lightning. She is wearing a teal off the shoulder top with transparent sleeves and tight black patterned pants with lace up details at the back and sides.

All of these sets were designed based on both the character art (by the incredible @mikylsandoval.bsky.social ) and ✨️the vibes✨️, with input all along the way from the players.

Let's take a closer look at each set! And hopefully my posts won't get eaten by internet gremlins this time!

This has been a much longer process than I had hoped or anticipated but they're done. They are finally done.

The whole @swordandkey.bsky.social Horizon's Call crew now has full dice sets!

A jumbled collection of 5 different dice sets spread out in a pile. They are representative of the 5 party members in Sword and Key's dungeons and dragons campaign Horizon's Call. Individual set photos will come in a later post.

If anyone thought of buying CSP, it's 60% off now ❤️

I've been using it for 8 years now, can only praise it. Not perfect, but it's pretty damn near for the price 👌 I actually bought EX as a separate licence, not an upgrade, so I can use the old one on my laptop
