January 28, 2018 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

It turns out that Amazon has no shortage of chocolate dice on offer. These dice are about as healthy as you’d expect, with all that sugar, dairy and nuts, but they are shiny and perhaps they’re just the surprise gift for that tabletop roleplayer in your life? The catch? I don’t think the dice on […]
