Dicember Day 18: Toxic Skull Dice
Preface: Obviously I got a little behind on the calendar, so I'm just going to catch up with three days right now. Sorry about that! You'd think pre-writing would mean this wouldn't happen, but *shrug emoji*
Dicember Day 18
Toxic Green Skull Dice
(Obtained 2021 12, made by Dead Eye Dice)
So I am _picky_ about inclusions. In fact the original list of dice I was gonna post about included one set that I only felt so-so about, because it was everything I didn't like about dice with inclusions (too twee, not thought out enough with the positioning). This set was on the list specifically to contrast it!
This does inclusion right --the inclusion is distinct enough that you can pretty clearly see what's inside, without having to be careful with the positioning (although almost no inclusions photograph well in my experience). Oh, and for anyone worried about whether inclusions mess up the "fairness" of the die roll? Turns out that ~I don't care~ so never you mind your little head about it.
As a weirdo, I'm a sucker for a good skull, and these definitely get the job done! They are well placed within their dice, and the neon green slime swirl makes for an excellent bit of visual interest. They were one of the first DeadEyeDice sets I obtained, and still one of my favourites (in fact, they're one of my current purse-dice sets, so I always have a set on me!)
Somewhere waiting in the wings, I'm pretty sure I have a set of purple skull dice to find, and I love the idea of combining both sets and rolling me a genderqueer flag of skulls! C'mon, that sentence just feels _super_ metal, right?
(Edited to add later: As it turns out, the purple skulls are in the very current iteration of the incentivesbox! I have a d4 and a d6 and a d12! Genderqueer flag of skulls is gonna have to wait until I finish out this batch, hopefully by the end of January.)

MOOP!
