Through the power of Facebook, I found these little critters a few weeks ago and just had one arrive in the mail. These Dice Dragons are, admittedly, cute. Now, some of you macho gamers out there may not hold much truck with "cute," but I think that any of you would be proud to have one of these Dice Dragons on your desk, sitting right under your computer monitor.
Lisa and Jack Berberette from Richmond, VA make
these Dice Dragons and sell them on Etsy under the name of
GameHermit. They've got a couple other lines of these handmade polymer cuties, "
Baby Dragons" and "
OOAK Dragons." They've got a pretty good selection; it was actually kind of hard to choose. There were several that were pretty tempting. They had a cute red dragon, holding a crystal blue d12. They also had an orange one and a pearlized gold dragon, both holding blue d20s. Ultimately, though, I had to go with this one: a
black mica dragon with a red scarab d20.
My kids have already started begging for their own Dice Dragons. At $15-$20 each, they're not exactly kid stuff. I justified it as a little bit of gaming art. It may not be a Rodin or a Remington. Nope. It's a Berberette. And it's mine.
One can be yours, too. Pay 'em a visit, won't you?

Those are kind of cool. They look like the kind of thing you'd see at a Renaissance Faire or at a booth in a convention hall. I bet they sell a ton of them.
Those are cute. I ain't ashamed.
That little dragon is very cool. And thanks for the well-wishes. Staying home ain't too bad.
