Although I found time to open up Friday’s door on the Advent calendar, I was a little too busy to edit the photos and write up the blog post, so once again we have a double-day post. Join me as we most past the halfway point of the calendar. (I can’t believe how close we are to Christmas!!)

Day 12

Friday’s die was the d8 from the charcoal set.

At this point I don’t have too much to say about the set that I haven’t already said. I’m looking forward to taking a look at the whole set together.

Day 13

Today’s die was not from either of what I’m sure will be the 2 complete sets for this calendar. The tricky thing about showing you today’s d20 is that it was very hard to photograph. One photo I took looked like this:

and another photo looked like this:

It’s the exact same lighting. I didn’t move my flash, change the camera settings, or do something different with my photo software. These two photos represent the extremes of what the die looks like in my hand. As you rotate it, it seems dark, but with “gold” on the inside. It shifts depending on the angle and the lighting. It doesn’t look like either photo, but like it’s always interposed between the two of them.

It’s a beautiful die and it might be in my top 5 or at least in my top 10.
