Hi all, Merry Christmas (or a seasonally appropriate greeting of your choosing)!

My wife got me a beautiful set of Illithid-themed metal dice from DnDice for Christmas (I'll try to add a picture of the whole set in the comments), but unfortunately they're not very at-a-glance legible when I roll them. It takes some moving around and squinting to read the number, especially if the light catches them.

How would you touch them up to make them more legible? I'm thinking a small amount of matte black paint inside the numbers - or is there a better way?

Thank you in advance, dice-loving friends.

It was a resounding success! They picked it up very quickly. I had to do very little explaining on how the game worked, it was pretty intuitive for them in terms of understanding about interacting with the world around them. One of the funnier moments is they went into a tavern kitchen and immediately asked of there was ingredients for tacos. A successful investigation check revealed indeed there was taco ingredients, so they paused mid game to see who could make the best taco. One of my nephews rolled a nat 20 so he made the best taco thats ever been made, dubbed "The Greatest Taco" lol. I asked if they were going to eat it, but they decided to save it, and very cleverly used it later in the campaign as leverage against an enemy guarding a passageway to bribe him with it to let them through, and it worked! That was a proud DnD uncle moment for sure lol

I was so happy they wanted to play and stuck it through the whole one-shot without quitting early. I would have been totally okay with them getting distracted but they really liked playing. I let them keep their tokens and character sheets, and will be making another one-shot for next time we see each other. This was a great christmas gift to be able to share this game with them.

I really need to redesign him. But yeah, I love monks and I love Astral Self Monks even more. Here's mine, his name is Philip

Does it bother anyone else every time the Stranger Things season 5 script references sorcerers compared to wizards, when DnD didn’t include sorcerers until 3e (2000) and the show is set in the late 80’s?
