Level Up Dice has kicked off the early convention season in style with four new sets of high-end dice. Last week at Emerald City Comic Con they unveiled two new Tru Stone releases- Pyrite Malachite and Silver Lime Green Imperial Jasper.
Tru Stone is approximately 80% stone, 20% Resin. This means a few things. It allows us to roll the beauty of natural stone dice, with some of the durability of a Resin or Plastic dice. It also gives us the unique opportunity to combine stones. This is evidenced by these two Tru Stones in particular. Malachite and Pyrite combine to create a hefty tru stone with a velvety green coloration. Silver combines with light green stone to create a bright and bold set of dice to be the highlight of any collection.
This week they have rolled into Chigaco’s C2E2 with another Tru Stone set and a new addition to their Precision Aluminum line, Toxic Diametric
These dice are designed to not only look beautiful, but provide an almost perfect distribution of rolls 1-20. They are Dual Anodized, both inside of the new HP Font numbers, as well as on the surface of the dice itself. Anodization is a unique process that allows us to get very vibrant color combinations. It’s a manipulation of the oxidation process, highly controlled, producing breathtaking results.
Don’t worry if you missed these sets last week or this week- they’ll be available on their site approximately a month after release.
