I understand. It’s the holiday season. Need something cool for tabletop enthusiasts. Your GM, your partner, or even yourself! No matter who you’re shopping for, we’ve rounded up some of our favorite pieces, both big and small, to make just about everyone happy this season. Even if you’re not shopping for anyone, there are some great deals right now. Also, remember to shop small and local whenever possible. FLGS almost certainly has holiday hours (but you should double check to be safe).

Stranger Things season is here! With the second part of the final season coming out on Christmas Eve and the finale in the new year, the big D&D tie-in box is a great option for both Stranger Things fans and D&D fans looking for something a little retro. It obviously uses a lot of imagery from the show, but wraps it in a cool 80’s D&D vibe with classic character sheets and neon colors. It includes a series of adventures written with characters from the late, great Eddie Manson, giving you everything you need to join the Hellfire Club and embark on your final journey.

We couldn’t narrow it down, so here are three dice makers worth checking out for those who can’t get enough of their shiny math rocks.
interstellar dice
Astrophysicist Erika (seriously, she has a Ph.D.) makes some truly unique dice sets, with both creative colors and shapes that I haven’t really seen before. Our favorites? The Daggerheart D12, built for Darrington Press’ flagship titles, and the Chiral D6, which uses special alternative (and very mathematical) shapes to mix in its polyhedral tendencies. But don’t sleep on her “choker” d20. Because everyone needs dice that can brain someone.
Fennec & Finch Dice Co.
From space to the cozy outdoors, there are fennec foxes and finches. Therin makes a lot of really pretty dice, from traditional resin to metal to gemstones and wood. We like the Coffee Bean Dice (which pairs well with the Many World Tavern bag?) and the Amanita mushroom and moss set. These are basically necessities for druids.
tough style art
Lastly, I would like to recommend GrimStylesArt. GrimStylesArt has two really cool things in their shop. First, the d20 fandom series (see Chainsaw Man above) is full of unique little shout-outs to the properties it references. Other dice in this line include d20s based on: trigun, Hazbin Hotel, and stardew valley. And the second is the “twist” dice. This is a strange and sometimes psychedelic version of the regular dice shape. Every “normal” shape has one, but d4 and d12 might be best.
