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!
