Crackable D20s
Details
Baseball-sized 20-sided container.
Cracks open like an egg, until you seal it again.
About as strong as an empty soda can.
Choose from the provided art, or customize with your own.
Optional band makes closure secure for travel.
Dice are pictured to show scale and are not included.
One of the most memorable and iconic shapes associated with RPGs is the icosahedron, or d20. And, one of the most memorable moments you can have with your group is a big plot point revelation.
Crackable D20s combine those two wonderful aspects of the RPG hobby into one grippable object of desire.
Crackable D20s are technically boxes, but their shape and closure mechanism make them the center of attention. Your players have never seen a dice box like this before. What's inside? Use them for dice, candy, or other small objects, such as a note with a plot reveal. Allow a player to crack one open to reveal the contents.
Each hemisphere has triangular tips and pockets. Tuck the tips of one hemisphere into the pockets of the other, and it will stay closed until you crack it open. Then, close it again for next time. An optional belt locks it closed for travel.
Druid approved: They are made entirely from paper with no plastic, metal, or magnets.
