Every adventurer needs dice, but not all dice are created equal. At Dice Dungeons, we have spent years designing, collecting, and testing dice of every kind. From affordable starter sets to gemstone and glass pieces you will not find anywhere else, we have built our reputation on being an authority for players who care about both the function and the artistry of their dice. If you are looking to understand how materials affect your game, this guide is the perfect place to start.
Plastic and Resin Dice
Most new players begin with plastic dice. They are inexpensive, durable, and easy to find. They do the job well, but for players who want more variety and visual flair, resin is where things become interesting.
Resin Dice: Resin allows for richer colors, inclusions, and effects that are difficult to achieve with basic plastics. At Dice Dungeons, we carry several resin lines that show just how versatile this material can be. Our Speakeasy Dice feature liquid cores inspired by 1920s cocktails, complete with swirling shimmer. Our Starseeker Dice are classic solid resin sets with mylar inclusions that catch the light and mimic starlight. Resin strikes a balance between affordability and artistry, which makes it one of the most popular choices for tabletop gamers who want more personality in their rolls.
Metal Dice
Metal dice bring weight and presence to the table. Every roll feels important when the dice land with a satisfying clatter. We offer a wide range of metal dice, including themed collections like the Arsenal Collection, which uses cage-style frames to highlight each adventuring class. Metal dice are strong enough to last for countless campaigns, but we always recommend rolling them on a padded surface to protect both the dice and your table.
Gemstone Dice
For players who want true luxury, gemstone dice are the pinnacle. Each set is carved from real stone, which means every die is unique. At Dice Dungeons, our gemstone dice stand apart because they feature an in-house font created exclusively for us. This makes our gemstone line distinctive, giving players dice that cannot be found anywhere else. Gemstone dice do require care to prevent chips or scratches, but they reward that attention with unmatched elegance and presence at the table.
Glass Dice
Glass dice are one of our specialties at Dice Dungeons. Modern production techniques allow us to create glass dice that are durable enough for regular play while still looking like display pieces. Their clarity and polish give them an otherworldly quality, and their heft feels substantial without being unwieldy. For collectors and players who want something truly different, glass dice deliver artistry and performance in equal measure.
Which Material is Right for You?
If you are just starting out, resin is a great choice with plenty of style options. If you want more weight, metal dice give satisfying rolls and a bold presence. For players who want something rare and luxurious, gemstone and glass dice deliver one-of-a-kind experiences that highlight why Dice Dungeons is known for bringing premium and unique dice to the table. Whatever you choose, the right dice material should match both your playstyle and the stories you want to tell.
