Rainbow Confetti Dice
(Obtained 2022 02, as a mystery set from Dice Envy)
Most dice sets are seven dice, identified by the number of sides: d20, d12, d10, d%, d8, d6, d4. (a d% or "percentile" is a d10 written in multiples of 10 instead of 1. You can roll a d10 and d% to get any integer from 00-99). Dice Envy goes a step further with their originals though, and sells them in groups of ten. You get a second d6 (with their lion logo on it), an "infinity" d4 (it's their special design and it's pretty neat), and...a chonky d20!
d20s get a lot of extra love, since they're frequently the most commonly rolled in rpgs. But the classic icosahedron is just a _nice shape_ as well, and having one that's extra big is extremely satisfying to play with. I really appreciate that Dice Envy makes it part of their sets as a matter of course, to give you something bold and blocky and fun to play with!
I like getting mystery sets of dice, especially as a way to "try out" new companies. Usually they're a little cheaper, sometimes the packaging is quite cute, and it's a good way to get something unexpected. The rainbows in this set definitely qualify --it's right up my alley, but not something I necessarily would've grabbed on my own!
Edited to add: Also this photo is perhaps less good than the rest will be because this is a set of dice I earned via my dailies, *after* the summer when I took all my photos. What're dailies? That'll come up later, I'm sure!

failuressuccesses easily visible.)
