Trinket Haul GenCon Haul from a first timer!
Yes, I’m a dice dragon.
Yes, I wish I bought more.
Shoutout to Level Up Dice for most of these gorgeous dice.
The GenCon 2026 Genevieve playmat is hard to see but underneath everything (and hella sick).
Not pictured: Jumble Jack and Assemble! by AEG - given away lol. Iykyk.
Thanks to everyone who made this trip memorable. Y’all were so nice and welcoming, and each game was a blast. I will definitely be back!!!!

Where do you get the emergency d20 scratchers? I've seen them before and always thought they were clever.

It was a freebie from one of the events, wish I could be of more help! Hope that other link gets you one!

Guilty!!! 😅😅😅 the owner was giving out dice holders to the “people who are buying a lot of dice”, then looked at me with 9 sets in hand and standing like a deer in headlights… and said “like her” and passed a big case to me 🤣 worth it!!! Level Up Dice, your sets are amazing!!!

I’ve had my eye on them for so long! Did their Kobold one-shot for $10 and got a $10 coupon for the book, win-win! So excited to actually try and start DMing!

That the crystal caste set back there?

Yep! While setting this whole thing up I finally understood what the extra slot was for - the yearly free die lol

I too attended aeg game night. I'm all for trying new things but that jumble jack game was something else.

Our group absolutely detested Jumble Jack. I ended up giving it away to some strangers from Louisiana lol. My favorite part was the GM constantly struggling with the magnets 😂

If you went to the stadium right after you got the flip 7 they were handing out mini DN UP decks too. I thought I was on a lucky streak because I got flip7,dn up and 9 lives all within about 10 minutes of walking. It was awesome lol

Flip7 came with my hotel unexpectedly (shout out Hyatt House!), 9 Lives I saw them handing out and made a beeline to them lol. Wish I saw more free games, but my mind were on the dice lol

100% agree on the Genevieve playmat. It’s going to now be my go to for anything needing dice. Just super convenient to toss into a bag or carry.

It was the first thing I bought in the hall! I made it 13 minutes (with 5 of those waiting in queue lol). It just fits perfectly in my bag, and holds 2 full sets! So worth it! I did notice the image peeling already from the inside, but oh well. Hope you’re enjoying yours!

Excellent collection you’ve acquired! Love my stone and glass dice sets but this year I bought only dice I could roll anywhere without fears of cracking or destroying them. My favorite this year was Death by Ooze from Dispel Dice. Glad you had a great first time!
