History Of Dice:
Dice have been used since before recorded history. It is thought that dice developed from the practice of fortune-telling by throwing knucklebones! Seen in Egypt from 4000BCE, Iran between 2800 and 2500 BCE, Scotland (Skara Brae) 3100–2400 BCE and of course from the Viking Burial ground in Gotland, Sweden, where this style die (dice) has been styled from.
Perfect for re-enactment, modern Vikings, LARP, Cosplay or any dice game.
Please remember these are hand made so will vary in size, shape so wont be calibrated like today's plastic varieties.
Made in my workshop in South Wales.🏴
Absolutely beautiful die! I messaged the seller asking about specifics and they got back to me super quick and catered to my needs. Very happy with my order!
I really wanted to like these. The idea is exactly what I've been looking for for decades. The pictures from the seller show a really nice contrast and as you can see from my picture, it is not that. Someone being a bit older my eyes are fading. I really appreciate good contrast for my dice. The numbers in some cases are close to the same shade as the bone. Maybe in the future having high contrast, white bone with the darker numbers would be the best bet. Hopefully, this will be addressed in the future.
Feels and looks great - very hearty&earthy. Sounds cool rolling on wood too
The idea of dice made of bone is fantastic. The execution was less than fantastic. They're nice dice but there were a couple of flaws in the manufacturing process.
First, my dice are dirt brown with no white bone color anywhere. A big part of the appeal of these dice was that they looked somewhat like bone. The other problem is that a couple of the numbers were mis-carved / gouged. If not for those things, these could have been really nice dice.
The D20 looks incredible, can't wait to take it to game night
