I wasn’t sure I was going to get Dice Envy’s 2025 Dice Advent Calendar. I had a blast opening each day last year, but, as you can see, I don’t really need any more dice:

But then Dice Envy went and got creative by releasing both a Krampus and a Santa box. I was very curious what interpretation Dice Envy might have a for an “evil” Christmas dice advent calendar. After all, last year had lots of Christmas-y dice like the ones I called Elsa Blue or the 12 days of Christmas d12. Enough preamble, let’s go!

Day 1

Well, looks like I got my first d2!

Or Stella said, “Isn’t a d2 just a coin?”

Yes, yes….a d2 is just a coin. But in this world where we use less and less cash, I’ve found myself needing a d2 here and there and not having a coin to flip. I’ve just gone with the old use an even-sided die with “odds are 1”/“evens are 2” as a replacement in the past, but it’s nice to finally have a TTRPG-themed d2 instead of currency. I also thought it was a fun touch to have each side be the Dice Envy Lion (their logo) as the Santa/Krampus on the coin. Nice start to the calendar!
