Work on the new dice tray finally continues. Test no.1 with dual tone inlay (white and gray) on black leather. It needs some finetuning, plus we still need a name 🤔 #ttrpg #dicetray #cosmichorror #wip

Elfia Arcen is not in the cards for us this year. They aren't replying to our emails anymore so we're not even sure if we're on the reserves list right now, and the event is only a month away. So we're not going to stress about it. How about some cheaper Festival Pouches instead? ✨ #elfia
