Off-Colour Oddities<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes it happens that dice come out in a way that wasn\u2019t intended, be it wrongly coloured material, an odd material mix, unintended abnormalities in clarity or opaqueness or just\u2026 strange things that aren\u2019t supposed to be that way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s a few that I\u2019ve come across in my day that are random little weirdoes that I love:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>
\n

A Crystal Caste Moonstone Aquarius d4 that has a pinkish purple tint, presumable some red or purple or pink material was mixed into the clear acrylic by accident.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>
\n

A D&G Fire Opal-like d4 in dark purple with rainbow glitter. Possibly a prototype or a one-off accidental mix specimen since there is no released Fire Opal set in that colour scheme.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>
\n

A D&G Gem Clear d6 that has the tiniest hint of blue-purple glitter mixed into one end of the die.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>
\n

An uninked Chessex Borealis Smoke with old glitter that\u2019s a lot paler and more translucent than the regular Borealis Smoke. I really wish they\u2019d made the regular release version that way because they look a lot more stunning and interesting than the much darker full production variant.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>
\n

A Chessex Rainbow Amethyst w\/black percentile die that has absolutely no white swirls.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>
\n

A D&G mould die that I can only presume is a Gold Mist or Ancient Red d20 gone wrong, with the golden material all in one blob. Also possible this is a die from the <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>
\n

A Crystal Caste Toxic Pink-Black d10 that\u2019s mostly pink with only a very small black swirl.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>
\n

A D&G translucent d8 in a shade of blue I\u2019ve never seen before. It\u2019s somewhere between the darker blue and the lighter, more greyish smoke-blue colour.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>
\n

A Chessex Velvet Purple w\/gold d8 that\u2019s way more translucent than it should be.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>
\n

The most windowy Chessex Leaf Copper d8 that has more translucent material than you\u2019d normally see in Leaf Copper with some coppery wisps running through it.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>
\n

A d20 in the old German acrylic mould that looks similar to the Crystal Caste Ice Cream line, but it\u2019s milkier and not as neon as the Ice Cream Pink variant.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
