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!

In my experience, a session of Dungeons and Dragons isn’t complete without snacks. I’m not talking about fruit or vegetables either. The best side dishes for vanquishing evil from a fictional world are nachos, fries, tacos, and other processed tastiness. Mighty Fine has launched a new section just for the classic tabletop roleplaying game, and almost half of the designs combine gaming and food. It’s only natural. The other designs show off classic characters and classes. Any gamer would be thrilled to own one of these tees.
Check out two more designs after the break.

It’s been far too long since I’ve played a tabletop roleplaying game. I miss Saturday nights spent with friends around a crowded table overflowing with caffeinated drinks, Chipotle burritos, and some noxious smelling but delicious chips. The food and drinks were stuffed in between dice, character sheets, pencils, graph paper, and the single calculator that everyone shared. Games would last until the early hours of the next morning, and occasionally I’d let my character suffer an injury so I could crawl into the corner and go to sleep. It was a singular yet familiar environment.
Our friends at Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab have developed a RPG series devoted to gaming night. They are known for blending perfume oils with exacting precision. They take their time and experiment. The end result is bigger than perfume oil—it’s experiences. It’s places. It’s RPG characters. Each person who rubs a BPAL oil into his or her skin will smell something different. That’s partially because of body chemistry and mostly because perfume oils shouldn’t be like a McDonald’s hamburger. They shouldn’t be the same to everyone, and the team at BPAL utilize their skills to customize the experience.

Our friends at Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab have come out with a new range of scents based on Dungeons & Dragons.
The RPG line includes the enchanting scents of Elf, Dwarf, Half Elf, Halfling, Orc, Cleric, Fighter, Mage, Paladin, Ranger and Rogue.
Ooooh…Orc scent. So sexy. Apparently, it smells like “field grey courgette musk, roughly cured leather, and vetiver.”

While I’m lucky enough to be able to have blue hair and rock my geeky tees on the daily, there are times you can’t represent your geek at the office.
Until now.

Finally, a sport nerds can play. What that sport is exactly is anyone’s guess, but chances are the ball will look something like this.

You may recall the comprehensive Dungeons and Dragons flowchart that made the rounds on the interwebs a while back. Basically, it explains how the game works in a way that can be easily visualized. The good news is that you can have this handy reference on your messenger bag. As a bonus, the design functions as a security system, of sorts. After all, no thief would ever want to be caught carrying around something this nerdy. A close up image of the chart is available after the break.
