Let’s set the scene for this prize preview… you find yourself riding in a van capable of traveling all across the multiverse. It comes to a stop, and you step out into a grand library! Suddenly, as you step forth to explore further, an assortment of characters leaps out from the tales within and stand before you, from dashing bards to strong-willed warlocks, clever androids and road-rage vampires. Where will the adventure go next? Perhaps an investigation roll is in order?

This “Dice Friends” display set includes 54 miniatures, each modified and painted as characters from 10 “actual play” game campaigns hosted on the LoadingReadyRun and Desert Bus channels, including last year’s D&B Alpha Flight campaign. At 28mm or ~1:56 scale, they’re perfectly sized for your next D&D tabletop adventure.

And, to tie it all together, this set includes 8 upcycled books with magnetized covers, featuring the various tales these characters come from painted on the spine. Use them as miniature storage, dice tray, or a super stealthy way for your rogue to pass along coded messages.

This collection was hand-crafted and donated by Carrie Emmerich (@iris_of_ether) and is the result of over 8 months of planning and effort!

We’ll publish more information about this prize, our other prizes, and other scheduled happenings at #DB2022 very soon! Until then, check back on desertbus.org and our social channels for ongoing updates as this year’s event approaches.
