Laser cut your very own stained-glass d20
I’m not sure you’d ever roll them for fear of smashing them into a pile of glass caltrops but it would be cool to have a pair of stained-glass d20. They’d look great on the coffee table. You know; beside the black skull, the Predator gun and ghost trap. As it turns out you can […]
