Nice Dice: A Masterpost (Part I)

There are so many things a person can become addicted to in this world: alcohol, caffeine, crack cocaine, Pringles, and... uh... dice?

The latter has become an epidemic amongst tabletop gamers, and with so many online retailers where dice addicts collectors can get their fix, it seems that the problem will not go away anytime soon. I, myself, am one of these dice junkies. I have sixteen complete sets to my name, and that number keeps growing—although I know others with many, many more.

On that note, here’s part one of a masterpost of my favorite dice dealers retailers on the Internet! This post focuses on your regular ol’ manufactured dice, whereas the next installment will highlight handmade and artisanal dice makers.

Please note that none of these links are sponsored. I just really like dice. Like, a lot. Probably a little too much...

It would be impossible to begin a blog post on tabletop dice without bringing up the most widespread, well-known die manufacturer out there: Chessex. While their website sucks, Chessex have their dice stocked in local gaming stores, comic shops, and even big-box retailers such as Barnes & Noble across the country (world? probably world). If you’ve seen and/or purchased a set of dice that comes in a clear acrylic box with a black lid, that’s Chessex brand. They’re well-made, reliably balanced, and, most importantly, there’s so many different kinds. Chessex’s line of dice is massive, and you can find them literally anywhere that sells dice.

Die Hard Dice is a fan-favorite amongst many online forums, and for good reason: they offer a wide variety of both polymer and metal dice at really good prices, and they’re really good quality, too! I have a set of their scorched rainbow metal dice, which is even more gorgeous in person, as well as a couple of polymer sets. The best part? If you tell them where you heard about their storefront during checkout, they’ll send you a free set! Die Hard’s customer service is also phenomenal—they’ve been very active in the D&D community, even donating several sets to programs for special needs students and other charitable causes.

Next up, Kraken Dice has a similar product lineup to Die Hard—even selling some of the same (or at least very similar) sets—but what’s notable about Kraken is their limited-run dice. These dice are produced in low quantities and sell out in minutes, in part due to Kraken’s loyal following. They also sell relatively inexpensive metal sets. Kraken is having a Kickstarter that will be going up Friday, April 27 (that’s this Friday!) for their line of mythic-creature-inspired dice, which includes Phoenix, Dragon, and Mermaid-themed gradients, with three other sets thrown into the mix. I’ll be posting the link when the time comes!

Gamescience is last on this installment, but I have to include them because their gemstone-inspired polyhedral sets are really neat. They also have a bunch of specialty dice and odd-ones-out, such as a d24, d100, or even a d3, if you really need that. Most of their polyhedral sets are either on backorder or out of stock at the moment, but you can sign up to be notified when more become available! It’s also worth noting that Gamescience touts their dice as the most precision-balanced dice available on the market. I can’t confirm or deny that statement, but, regardless, they’re cool.

That’s it for now! I’ll have another post with more dice up later when I’m not, you know, dying during midterms. Thanks for reading!
