DnD Dice by Class
50 Years of Adventure: Celebrating Half a Century of Dungeons & Dragons
Generally considered the granddaddy of all role-playing games, Dungeons & Dragons established the 7-dice set that has become the polyhedral standard for hundreds of different RPGs.
Dungeons & Dragons has gone through many different iterations through the decades, awarding the game a grand total of 6 different editions (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 3.5, 4th, and 5th). Throughout it all, the 7-dice set has remained the standard for DnD. A good set of DnD dice is precious, as it can determine the very fate of your character.
While we use the same set of dice today, today's polyhedral dice are by no means visually identical to the dice used in the 70s and 80s. The original DnD box sets came with a set of 7 plain, opaque dice with numbers players needed to color in themselves. Let me tell you, we here at Awesome Dice are pretty thrilled with how far DnD dice have come since then!
Today, players can buy high-quality dice ranging from colorfully elaborate to tactfully simple. The DnD dice of today are limited only by peoples' imagination (and, you know, the amount of space on/within a single die, but I digress). Translucent dice, speckled dice, metal dice, dice with small objects set inside, dice made of glass, wood, and gemstones, you name it! There's a myriad of premium dice sets available and we're lucky enough to be one company capable of providing. We even started manufacturing custom DnD dice for clients in 2022, and we've become pretty darn good at it!
It's always a good time to be playing Dungeons & Dragons, the oldest and still largest RPG.
