I just had that out at dinner the other night! It’s delightful! Though the raw egg version I’m not sure I get behind

So I hope you enjoyed this brief tangent. Check out @AtticArcana for their wares. And check out this space soon for more about my upcoming #Ravenloft #AdventurersLeague (#AL) modules in the NIghtmare Lands! (Oh and Greyhawk too 😉)

Finally the coolest part: each die has a strip of Azalin’s writing… including perhaps his best known line: “My little scholar”. If you know the story of the #Ravenloft gazetteers, you know there’s… a lot of story there. It’s an amazing custom detail.

There’s then the colors: gold, iron (or a steely grey), and of course blood-red. The clear resin of the dice nicely makes all of them pop to varying degrees and varying angles. Each die is unique.

Next up, Azalin’s symbols - specifically the lich’s phylactery or soul jar, in the shape of a gold dragon skull that can change weight and size. (It’s an easter egg in a number of #Ravenloft publication.) Here, you can see the skull reflected from inside one die!

Now: this lich. He shows up on the dice themselves! Attic Arcana share my obsession with Azalin so he is their calling card: a little crowned skull for the top value on some #dice - a tribute to the lich king in his iron crown.

First up, the context. They are inspired by Azalin, lich king of Darkon, the most iconic character out of Ravenloft after #Strahd his nemesis (whom he hates). (Honorable mention to VR due to #VanRichtensGuide). Azalin’s symbols, colors, even his writings appear in these dice.

These were made for me by Attic Arcana Dice Creations - they were showing their custom dice on a discord server and I begged, borrowed, and stole until they agreed to comm a set for me and my #Ravenloft #lorenerd specs

Now the biggest change, and maybe another #dndcontroversy (no not really) is that 5e makes Caroline Dinwiddy the source of the Nightmare Court, versus in 2e she was a minor good NPC. I like this shift, and have a unique twist in my #adventurersleague series coming soon on #DMsGuild… #rpgcreator
