One last bonus selling point – THE SOUND! No, seriously – rolling in this dice tray sounds like magic, particularly with metal dice. I am unsure how much the procedure costs, but it would lessen the sting for those people who end up with Red Oak or Maple that bought the set dreaming of the coveted Gabon Ebony.
The personalized etching is appreciated, especially to showcase my blog/twitter/youtube handle – I would, however, like to see that same engraving offered on the tray for the adventurer’s lottery. The Adventurer’s Lottery is your best bet to snag a tray and a dice vault – the two together were $120 for the tray ($70-260) and a dice vault ($25-125), a set of dice ($10), and a custom engraving for the Dice Vault ($50). I’ve used mine at least once a week, sometimes twice a week, for a month now and see no signs of wear.
It’s safe to say from a gaming standpoint, unless you’re just absolutely brutal to this thing, it will last a lifetime with proper care. Luckily, the leather seems to be a great shock absorber – saw very minimal scuffs from some pretty rough abuse (hucking handfuls of metal onto it all at once is rough in my book). I rolled these fantastic White Gunmetal dice from Easyroller a total of 31 times. One of the things I was most concerned with, however… how much destruction would be wrought by my metal dice? A thought that nearly made me refuse to use metal dice inside the tray, but that’s not very scientific, is it?! Luckily, the Dice Tray is quite deep and, in my opinion, the perfect size for most gaming needs, about the size of a hefty notebook.Įxtra Credit: Wyrmwood d6s, very pretty in their own right. Hurled across the table, spun into food, flicked under a companion’s chair – my players and I are all guilty of it, as are most of you, I imagine. I cannot tell you how annoyed I, personally, get when tacky glue covered rubber starts to rub off of anything considered “quality” – props to Wyrmwood for using hardware whenever possible. They are instead screwed to the base of the tray, giving a much stronger and longer living hold. The rubber feet are (as we have discussed in the previous Dice Vault Review) NOT AFFIXED with a glue or likewise chemical agent. The base of the tray is made of a compressed and sanded plywood to give a uniform weight and production value, while the exotic wood is carefully boxed around the entire tray, as well as bisecting the tray near the top – leaving a perfect area for a Dice Vault (pictured above) or to store your own loose dice or minis. Past that, it seems to have made it to me nigh unblemished.Įach dice tray, I am told, is inlaid with a lightly broken oiled leather – leading to a soft and velvet feeling finish. In fact, the only flaw i found with the entire thing was the leather insert being out of place when I opened it. You can tell they have all of this dialed in near to perfection, and I – for one – appreciate the hell out of it. Every edge, every seam, is extremely well done and well crafted. I’ve rarely found a flaw in their production thus far. I feel this particular category is moot as we move forward in our relationship with Wyrmwood. During shipping, the leather inlay for the tray was jostled loose, but with one single fingertip I slid it back down into place with a notable “click” as the leather snapped into the groove – Now let’s dive in to the review! Materials I blacked out for a while, gently running my fingers along the supple leather and smooth wood, and cooing to myself – but I didn’t forget to mark the occasion with at least a passing photo. Stage 3: The Prestige.Īnd here, ladies and gentleman, is the pay off.
You’ll feel that exact same tension before looking at the sticker on the front of the box, and again when sliding the perfect fitting lid off.
I’ll close my eyes when playing blackjack just to live in the moment for a while longer before looking at the card after I hit on a 16. There is a reason I do not gamble: I feel OVERLY elated in the moment of suspense just before discovering the outcome. Stage 2: What is it, what is it, what is it… A little crush in the corners of the Wyrmwood box, but even that is quite sturdy cardboard – considering the postmen here have PHDs in destroying packages, this is a gleaming approval from me. I was pretty happy with the adequate packaging for the shipment.
