Hey @warframe.com I'm a dicemaker and I'd fucking LOVE to get to make some dice with/for you all. (Also this is just a general cry for "if someone knows the alphabet seen in the Hollvania stuff, please toss it my way")

A late night token of love, friends, from me to you. Yep, it's still me, I got to migrate my account to Canadian skies. Closest I'll get to being one atm. Sigh. Have my dog who derailed me the other day by insisting on pets and looking up at me like this. He had surgery last Feb. Doing fine now.

If this is your TTRPG vibe, I wanna make dice for you.

A tired-looking racoon with matted fur has a cigarette in his mouth and is cradling a 16oz (or thereabouts) coffee to-go cup. Text overhead reads "You're gonna multiclass rogue/druid? What does that look like?"

Still alive, despite the rumors. Peep the macro shots of Absolution and tell me they don't look spectral. Shop update soon! I'm just elbow deep in restock and pride planning.

Something I forgot to try to cross post. In case you've been wondering what I've been up to. Originally put up on Instagram.

Then after all that healing, we're gonna go buy some dice. 🖤🖤

Hi all! Come check me out at Anime Detour in the Exibitor Hall!

I am only mildly sorry that even when I apply on a lark to different APs that the most dignified headshot you'll get of me is this one I took at an outdoor market. (I'm still sick.)

Dealing with the post Ritual Blues by inking the numbers in some Ghost inspired dice sets! I hope I didn't make who it's inspired by too obvious this time.

Several dice sit in a pile of Ghost inspired kandi- colored plastic beaded bracelets - atop an artist's palette with wells for paint. In the mix of bracelets sits one atop the rest with PAPA 3 spelled out in beads and upside down crosses.

Doing a hell of a lot of shot-taking today, so let's make with the newer dice from this past year. Hey folks, I'm Hex, your midwest cryptid & dicemaker. I make sets for D&D, Daggerheart, VtM & so much more. If you want something just WEIRD, I'm your huckleberry. Trans Rights & Fuck ICE!

Hex | Cryptic Crits@crypticcrits· Jan 22

Kat, I know this is a little late, but can I make dice for you? As a cryptid of the state of IL I would love to make something for an individual who is fighting so hard for the rights of everyone.

Should auld acquaintance be forgot And ne'er brought to mind? And may the next year suck much less Than th'last three years combined.

A black and white photo taken by someone bent over the handrail on a staircase into the foyer below. A crowd of people stare up at the camera, dressed in matching black garb, their sightless eyes and bright smiles making the whole photo unsettling.

Oh hi, uhm, that's more than a few of you. Hello people. I'm a dice maker and cryptid shitposter. Normally I'd say something fancier but I'm trying to avoid freezing my bits off at the present. Here's a photo dump of my shinies for the moment. crypticcrits.com

Score another wild one in the books as this lil' cryptid started wandering a lot further from the roost than in the past. I try to be better about putting alt text in my photos but thank you to all who stopped by. I'm fair to partially drained at this point.

Nice weather we're having, eh? Kind of makes you want to take a dip in the Lethe.

A pile of fresh, red pomegranates sitting on what looks to be a stone path. Tucked underneath the three pomegranates is a torn off paper with the word "FREE" in all caps. Text on the top of the image says "Nice Try, Hades."

Well?

An ethereal picture taken at a low enough angle that the viewer is face to face with a frog, sitting on a round little mushroom like it's a pedestal. Trees in the background strongly implicate a forest.

Overlayed around the frog on the mushroom is white text as if it's speaking.

FROG: Psst. Hey kid. Wanna meet the fae?

An experiment that gives off incredibly strong pastel goth vibes. Though at the same time the yt fleshtone made me call it "The Caucasity." Personally I just enjoy the way it shifts into the black smoky depths. It's a weirdly pretty dice set that grew on me. crypticcrits.com

A full circle made of a 7-piece dice set colored light pink and smoky black. The pink of the dice set is very similar to pale porcelain skintones.

A close-up of the same pink and smoky black set as the first photo, focusing on the wisps of pink trailing into the smoky black part of the d6.

One of those dice sets that I made on the side of another project that turns out freakin amazing. WIP title is "Haunted by the Sea." I love how seaglass looks and wanted to get something like what my first warlock would wear. She was a cheery one. Got a few sets in the shop - crypticcrits.com

I woke up in a mood today. Anyone else? Art from this creator: www.instagram.com/Jess.a.creates (Unsure if they have bsky.)

It's the weekend. Have a little staycay, as a treat.

While I'm sad my first set sold before I actually took photos of the finished pieces, I'll be making more of it in the future. #dicemaker #TTRPGsky #ttrpgs

A set of bluish-green dice with smoky black shapes, twisting and coiling in its confines. This photo is a side view, giving another look into the back row of dice in particular while the front remains in soft-focus.

It's Friday Night. Enjoy, even if you're just catatonic on the floor.

Hey folks! Still down here at Peoria Con! I fail at social media but here is shiny!

Hex | Cryptic Crits@crypticcrits· Mar 7

Ye! It's a lot about how you do lighting and compose your shots like these. Same set, different occasions, different color lights too. I could ramble. 😅

I've decided to be the queer creature I needed when I was younger, damn the risks. You'll know how to find me.
