![]() ![]() I don’t have any concern about this thing popping open inside my backpack. Fully assembled, it’s also among the most secure. I’ve handled just about every single dice vault produced by all of the major boutique manufacturers, and this one is by far the most well-made. Binding it all together is a well-appointed leather strap. It’s made just big enough that you can lift out the vault with only one finger, rather than tipping the whole thing upside down. Protecting the vault is a leather-lined rolling tray. The bottom of the rolling tray features rubber feet that are likewise screwed into place. Everything they make comes with a lavish warrantee. If they ever give up on you let Wyrmwood know. The neodymium magnets are screwed into placed. Never roleplay with a dull pencil again or, worse yet, a pen. It requires less pressure to write with than your average mechanical pencil, and erases more easily preventing you from wearing through your character sheets. The finger holes on the left side let you easily open each vault.Īpply pressure to the top of the mechanical pencil and the large 3 mm lead falls right out. The internal vault is just a hair smaller than the rolling tray, so you can easily lift it out with one finger without nicking the finish or gouging a corner. This is a pre-production model, so imperfections in the finish are to be expected. I thought this was an inlay at first, but it’s actually a very carefully applied brand from a heated brass master. But Wyrmwood’s logos are well-suited to both the Dungeons & Dragons and Pathfinder ethos. On any other vendor’s products these little branded flourishes would be a bit much. Also, the interior wells come with two layers of custom-cut foam so that you can adjust them to fit even larger, casino-style or “spindown” dice used for playing Magic: The Gathering. Like all of the company’s products, it’s an absolute pleasure to handle. The sample that Wyrmwood provided is perfectly squared, and hand-oiled and waxed. What makes this one special is the craftsmanship that goes into it. We’ve written about them before here on Polygon. ![]() There’s also a fourth generously proportioned cutout for a miniature, large enough for even 32 mm minis with oversized weapons or exotic poses.Ī dice vault isn’t anything new. ![]() ![]() Inside are three cutouts, each one made to fit a full set of seven polyhedral dice. Charlie Hall/PolygonĪt the core of the Arsenal is a dice vault secured by eight neodymium magnets. Of all the sets I’ve seen at Gen Con and PAX, Wyrmwood’s are the most pleasing to the touch. So what is it? Wyrmwood uses hand-rubbed oils and waxes to finish its products. It’s called The Wyrmwood Adventurer’s Arsenal, and it’s already closing in on the quarter-million mark. The company’s latest project, however, may be its finest - and most affordable - product yet. You may have heard about its dice towers, which raised nearly nearly $250,000 on Kickstarter in 2015. While one of Wyrmwood’s handmade tables start s at $5,000, the firm is mostly known for its broad range of smaller products. If that name rings a bell, it’s because the company has exploded into the marketplace with a new line of extravagant gaming tables that are just the thing to fill the void left by the closure of Geek Chic. The market for tabletop gaming gear has heated up over the last few years, and one of the standout manufacturer’s is New England-based Wyrmwood. ![]()
