Description
Runic dice are one of the first ever created by designers in Q WORKSHOP, and we always remember them, as our first step to conquering the world with our dice. First Runic Dice were handmade and hand-painted in such meticulous passion that to this day we are bewondered by their quality and charm.
Runes are always a mystery. These sigils, full of secrets are always something that catches the eye and raises questions about the forgotten lore of ancients. The runes used to functioned as letters, but they were much more than just letters. Each rune was a sigil of some supernatural power and to write a rune was to invoke and direct the force for which it stood. Runes were traditionally carved onto stone, wood, bone, metal, or some similarly hard surface rather than drawn with ink and pen on parchment. This explains why we choose them for carvings on the dice. We wont to make durable dice imbued with the power of magic because there is “real magic” in roleplaying games. Now you can “write” tales about your adventures with Runic Dice.
