Day 03

What’s always fun about the early days in the Dice Envy Advent Calendar is that I don’t yet know which dice are part of sets and which dice are standalone dice. Looking back at last year’s calendar there was one Dice Envy Special (meaning chonky d20, chonky d6, and infinity d4), one 8-piece set, 6 random dice (including 3 d12s - so it turns out to be easy to do a Daggerhart hope/fear with those), and a Wee Lads set. So as I opened up today’s flap, I was curious to see what I would get.

And I’m VERY, VERY curious about what today’s die says about what to expect for this calendar. Here’s what we got:

It’s a metal d10 with a nice bit of heft. What’s interesting about it is that it has the same blood splatter that we saw on the d2 on day 01. What makes this interesting - for the most part I’ve never seen a dice set that includes a d2. Usually we have 7 dice if it’s a cheaper set and 10 dice if it’s an upscale set (not including sets that are specifically made for certain character classes). So now I’m curious if these are some random blood splattered dice or if Dice Envy is making a special set for this advent calendar that includes somewhere between 8 and 11 dice. I’m now even more excited to see what dice I will discover over the next few days.
