While playing games online can have appeal, there’s something about that tactile experience of sitting around a table with friends, rolling lots of math rocks (aka dice) to figure out what in the world is going on in the story you’re building. Well, why not bring some of that online flash into your game with Pixels Dice?

I’ve – so far – stuck with the standard cloth bag to hold my dice, but dice boxes (or dice vaults, if you prefer) are showing up more and more. One of the latest to catch my eye is the Master Monk Oracle Dice Box.
