Scotch Rock d20s
$78.00
Scotch Rock d20s
$78.00These Scotch Rock d20s are crafted from black architectural-grade soapstone. Which gives these dice a dark charcoal coloration that makes for easily read numbers thanks to high-contrast engraving. Soapstone can be worked with regular wood working tools, and when it turns to dust it magically becomes baby powder, keeping the minions’ hands soft and supple. The Architectural-grade soapstone used in this run has a much lower talc content than the artist-grade stone we used in the original Scotch Rock d20s, and thus makes for a much more durable die.

Ash

American Holly
$42.00 – $167.00
American Holly
$42.00 – $167.00American Holly has the most pure white color of any wood in the world. It is very hard to dry properly without cracking and must be harvested in the dead of winter or the wood will be spalted (stained) with a blue-grey fungus. This process makes American Holly quite expensive. Add to that the fact that it is a nightmare to keep from shifting in board form, and it’s easy to see why only the most meticulate artisans work with this wood.
