Happy New Year’s from the Netherlands. Wishing you all good tidings and many great tables in 2026!

Depending on what you want? Somewhere between moderately inconvenient and incredibly hard. The easiest way would be by making dice blanks, painting those similarly to how you paint stained glass dice and then shelling them transparent.

Stay safe! I hope the interesting times get boring quickly 🫂

I have nothing, but I can wholeheartedly recommend checking out @rollgothica.bsky.social for some really cool jesmonite dice and @bindwoodgaming.bsky.social for their dice trays and dienosaurs.

I'm still trying to get good at macro photography, and the con was really busy, so I'm very happy this one turned out as well as it did.

There's always next year (or UKGE)!

Looks like it's just going to be reporting and rebroadcasting because NOS Events is required by law to rebroadcast "important international cultural events". From what I could find we're still not going to be sending a contestant. Small victories, I suppose.

If you don’t consume the spoiled prawns the fishing ship is going to sink. You wouldn’t want the fishing ship to go under, would you?

*In a post-con haze looking up flights to Leeds* So uhh… I hear AireCon is pretty cool and not six months away, huh?

We completely missed eachother too! D:

Only six more months to UKGE. Only six moreee

Looking forward to seeing everyone again the way Spongebob looks at a glass of water.

Only sixish more months!

You were doing great at the booth all things considered. Hope I was able to make a rough day a bit brighter! 💜

Goodbye to Dragonmeet, it was lovely seeing everyone again, I’m already looking forward to see many of you again in May!

Some more photos will be dropping after I to my PC, but for now: safe travels home everyone!

Finally, @peregrinecoast.press were right next to SoulMuppet, and I still missed them on my first round. You could've found them at L15-16, but it's a little late for that now, so go buy Milkbar from their webshop.

(ft. @jellymuppet.bsky.social who's gotten really good at this "candid photo" thing)

A number of dice chonks with 3d dragon heads in the twenty face. Two of the chonks are in focus, the other three in the background are out of focus.

And now for some post-con additions. I got to see
Three Fates Wares booth and chat with @goliathdice.bsky.social (www.instagram.com/goliathdice) who showed off some of their amazing dice chonks: yes, that /is/ a 3d dragon head in the 20s face and it looks exactly as cool in person as you'd think.

It youuuu!!! It was great hanging out!

Oh also: If you're one of the vendors whose photos I took and you'd like RAW files or some of the other unposted photos, hit me up, I'm happy to send them your way!

Whoof, that was a lot more work than expected. Probably going to have to post them /after/ the con next time :D

Anyway, hope you all enjoyed the photos as much as I enjoyed taking them. I'm gonna run back into the con to catch the last bit of the fun.

Back to dice before we get into even more RPGs:

Sara of @darkskydice.bsky.social makes some really gorgeous dice. Especially the chonks are very pretty (and - I have it on good authority - hellish to print masters for, which having printed resin masters myself I can 100% believe).

Find her at O28

@pelgranepress.bsky.social at O20-22 is always a great visit too. They asked me to call your attention to Page Turners which I think I saw being signed? So if you want that, be sure to pop over, maybe you're in luck!
