It’s the final day! We got the tiny dice! Let’s look at those and then let’s do our summary of this year’s dice advent calendar.

It’s the final die from the bloody metal set. What could be in the tomorrow’s door??

I was able to stay caught up today so let’s see what was in the flap!

It’s Sunday! Let’s get caught up on the the last 3 days’ dice!

Another busy period kept me from writing this blog post until I had 4 days of dice. However within these dice I found a nice little surprise among the dice I expected.

The charcoal set moves closer to completion with today’s die.

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 11

Back to the heavy metal!! 🤘👨‍🎤🤘

Day 10

Today within the advent calendar we find another d4; this time not quite as sharp.

Yesterday was a very busy day for me, so today is the first post for 2025 in which I am writing about more than one day’s die in the same post.

Day 07

We bounce back to the charcoal set for today’s die.

Day 06

After yesterday’s curveball, we’re back to one of the main sets for this year’s Advent Calendar!

Day 05

Dice Envy has thrown us a curveball today! Today’s die does not match with any of the other sets AND it’s a pretty unique die.

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!

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.

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.

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!
