Are you tired of hauling a bag of dice around to conventions, rpg tournaments, or just your regular game night? You can wear them on your sleeve instead. A creative crafter has devised a leather bracer with a built in number generator. It can roll 100, 20, 12, 10, 8, 6, and 4-sided dice in response to arm movement. No physical dice are necessary. The gauntlet has a nice Viking look to it and is sure to intimidate those at your table. Trust me, you want your GM to be scared of you.
Creating the bracer will take some sewing, electronic components, and time. I wouldn’t say it’s a beginner’s craft, but the instructions seem very thorough!

Who knew that crocheted costumes are all the rage? I see more and more patterns and finished costumes available. This Wolverine costume pattern features the softest adamantium claws you’ll ever see. As you can imagine, this look works best on little ones and this pattern will fit sizes 2T-3T.

These little guys must be fighting crime with cuteness—and I’ll bet it’s a pretty effective strategy. Finished products aren’t available for sale, but you can purchase a pattern for only $5.95.

Remember that homemade Diablo III costume we featured a little over a week ago? Well, it looks like Joshua Smith finished the project and the results are even more incredible than we imagined—especially since the whole thing was made with some cheap materials from Walmart.
Check out a video of the completed costume in action after the break.
Take a look at the Diablo III costume Joshua Smith was able to achieve with only $145 in materials from Walmart and 32 hours of work. Perhaps he should focus a bit of that attention on his wallpaper situation.

A cosplayer by the name of Mandy crafted this Red Sonja costume at home for under $200. She describes the process:
I made this costume myself- everything combined ended up being under $200, which is not bad if you’re particularly intense about costuming like me. The “metal” bikini is a black push-up bra and black panties with plastic circles sewn together, sewn on to the garments, and individual circles glued to fill in the spots for a more “chain mail” look (took. fucking. forever.) Bottom is custom fit to me with brass rings sewn at sides. Gloves are made by me, as are the thigh cuffs. Wig bought in a place called X-Tensions in NYC. Sword from Halloween Adventure in NYC. Boots bought from a cheap Mandee’s-type place in the east village. Makeup is Clinique foundation, Revlon liquid eyeliner, Cover Girl blush, Make Up Forever lashes, Benefit concealor, Hourglass lipstick in “Icon”, Maybelline eye shadow, Urban Decay body shimmer, Make Up Forever pearl powder.
