Days 4, 5 & 6

The last 3 dice from Zak's advent calender. We're not sure what happened to Day 3's dice 😅 That's my fault! I've been really distracted..

It's hard to see, but the D20 has a lil dino skull inside!! -Slug

Day 3's dice!

Something I'm noticing is all 3 of these have been from the same set so far. Makes me wonder if this calender will have a number of complete sets rather than just 1 🤔 -Slug

A square box with a digital painting of a Christmas scene with a tree in front of a fire place. The scene is full of cats. In the bottom right corner sits the void with it's tongue out. Grumpy cat sits ontop of a stack of boxes on the keft. A ginger and a silver kitten play on the floor with ribbon and a bauble. There is another cat poking out from the middle of the tree along with a tabby jumping off of it to the left. Two more cats sit on the mantlepiece, one on either side of a framed painting of a cat in a top hat. Hanging from the mantlepiece are two stocking with kittens poking out from inside. The inside of the box houses a wall of numbered cat-themed paintings which act as the doors for the dice. Instead of the usual mixed advent calender, the days are all in order except for the 25th which is the largest door, in tje centre and displays a black cat in kingly robes and a crown Photograph of a D100 dice. It's clear with tinsel inside and gold lettering along with a small cat fake, framed by holly leaves. The dice is sat upon some brown and red reindeer themed wrapping paper.

Today was our last session of the year playing #TalesOfTheKytinAge !

I'm saying goodbye to Tess, my giant cutie for now 🥹❤️ I'll hopefully be playing her next year but we left off on a cliffhanger last night. I just jumped on a barrel speared in tail of a giant naiad (A la JAWS style) 🤞 -Slug

I opened the final door in my #Halloween advent calender from Mystery Dice Goblins today!

I got a full set of cute spider dice at the end of the month! 🕷🕷🕷

Final thoughts: Zak bought the calender for around £40 (prices range online). 1/2
