Day 04

We’re back to the charcoal dice, so I’m guessing we’re going to at least get a charcoal set. Based on last year it’s looking like one charcoal set and one bloody metal set. But it could be a misdirect! (After all, we’re dealing with Krampus here!) Maybe one or both of these are in the random dice camp. Odds are low of that, but we’re too early in the calendar to know for sure. Let’s look at today’s die!

I just love how beautiful these dice look at macro distance.

Just an comment here - not a complaint or nitpick - I think it’s very interesting that this d6 has a dot to let you know it’s a six and not a nine. This should be obvious it’s a d6. The highest you can go is six. HOWEVER, I do appreciate it when I’m in the middle of a big fight or other situation with the table where I’m juggling players and NPCs and story. It’s very easy to have a brain fart and ask yourself - is that a six or a nine - even though you’re looking at a d6. If anyone else who sees this blog post on blusky or Mastodon would care to comment - how do you feel about having the six marked as a six on a d6? Do you also find it helpful? There also seems to be quite a fair bit of the TTRPG community who is a bit OCD about things like book size on the shelf relative to other TTRPG books. So, does it actually bother you? I’m fascinated to hear what others have to say.
