Day 02

Krampus seems to be tied to a purple theme. I’m not sure I’d consider purple to be the opposite of red, but who knows? Maybe it’s an inversion of purple being a royal color? As far as I can remember, this isn’t just a Dice Envy thing - I’ve seen Krampus associated with purple elsewhere. All this to say, I expected purple dice and I was not disappointed.

While taking photos of the chonky d20 that was today’s die, I was focused on the sparkly texture and the fact that it seemed to go from grey to black.

But after I showed it to the kids, I realized the color scheme of this die is probably meant to represent coal.

As in: kids who misbehave get charcoal instead of presents. I don’t know if I’m reading too deep into it, but either way it’s a very pretty die (as I expect from Dice Envy!) and a great addition to my collection.

If I had to guess, I would say this is the chonky of what will eventually be a full set for this calendar. It just seems too on point not to be. The next few days will tell.
