At $300, the limited edition sold out quickly.īut the biggest players in the dice market right now are actually on Kickstarter. To celebrate D&D’s 45th anniversary, Wizards even partnered with the team at Level Up Dice to create a set featuring a dark blue sapphire embedded inside the d20. Both come with a rolling tray and some themed handouts, including maps. It now has two unique sets of its own on the market, including an exotic blue set themed around the city of Waterdeep and a dark red set themed to the more hellish landscape of Avernus.

One of the most expensive was cut from solid titanium and ran $344 plus shipping. There at the nation’s largest tabletop gaming convention was a display of products unlike anything that I’d ever seen before, including dice made from old Jack Daniel’s whiskey casks and laser-inscribed sets made from animal horn. I first noticed it at Gen Con in 2015, when I stumbled upon the team from Artisan Dice. Most sets go for less than $20.īut along with a massive renaissance in tabletop RPGs, there’s been a huge surge in boutique dice making. Today, Chessex’s website boasts more than a dozen trademarked textures and finishes, with names like Leaf, Marble, and Vortex. They’re much more vibrant than the original D&D dice, with many colors and patterns to choose from.
If you got into pen-and-paper RPGs in the 1980s or 1990s, you likely picked up a set of dice made by Chessex, which has long been a staple brand in gaming shops. In the background a replica set sold by the Gar圜on convention in 2019. In the foreground a vintage set of D&D dice from the 1970s.
