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!

Check out a few of the in-progress photos below .

Join in the Mystery Science Theater 3000 action with this locket! You can slide a small photo or a mini movie poster in the locket to stand in for the film on the big screen. Not quite as good as the show itself, but it will have to do until a miracle occurs and MST3K goes back on the air.

Take an old pink dress, add lots of time and yarn, and you get a very pretty Zelda costume for baby! This one of a kind creation was sewn and crocheted (like everything seems to be these days), and I wish it was available in adult sizes.

Sometimes it’s not enough to play a game, you have to immerse yourself in it. Join the world of Skyrim IRL by sporting this Stormcloak crest necklace. And don’t worry, there’s something for members of the Imperial Legion as well.

If you’ve always wanted to be a My Little Pony but didn’t want to wear the tail, this hoodie’s for you. You can choose the pony you want to emulate, and the seller will add the appropriate cutie mark. Pegasus ponies have wings in the back (as seen above), and unicorns will come with a horn sewed into the hood. You don’t have to wear a pony-colored wig with the hoodie, but why wouldn’t you?

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.

Check out the matching hat after the break.

Cosplayers are a dedicated bunch. They will spend hours or months toiling away on something they may only wear for a day. This crocheted Cyclops costume takes it to another level though. The whole outfit is crocheted from single eye to the boot covers—and I’m going to bet that yarn chainmail takes just as long to make as the metal variety.

Check out a photo showing the full costume after the break.
