Polyhedral Dice for Dungeons and Dragons
Just getting started as a DM? Would you like to DM but don’t know how? Here’s a small, but excellent (like a dwarf!) list of Dungeon Master Resources for you. While these are highly specific to Dungeons and Dragons, a lot of the lessons in them can work in whatever game you're running. 


Matthew Mercer’s DM Tips on Geek & Sundry

Matt Mercer is the DM for the most awesome show “Critical Role” on Geek and Sundry’s Twitch channel. How to explain him? He’s a level 20 DM is what we usually say. If you haven’t checked out Critical Role, you definitely should. We <3 Critical Role and Matt. Here is a link to his DM tips: 

D20 Die for Dungeons and Dragons

Matthew Colville- Running the Game Youtube Series

Matt Colville is another Level 20 DM. His video series on Youtube is excellent we highly recommend it for new DM’s!

The Angry GM

The Angry GM includes another excellent series of blog posts on how to do various things that are important to DM’s. The schtick can become tiring at times, but his “How to Manage Combat Like a Dolphin” is excellent. If you watch Matt Mercer’s games he does this *very* well.

This has been quite possibly...
..... the best experience I have ever had ordering dice online. I bought the mystery bag set on a whim and got some really beautiful dice faster than I expected, and the correspondence is perfect for gamers. I love the storytelling, and the dice have served me well so far!

It's the Little Things That Matter
In a modern world where everything is available with a few button clicks, it's nice to feel valued as a customer. Skullsplitter is second to none in customer service, very responsive, and swifter than Odin's ravens. Order your dice from them with confidence and see if you don't feel better for it.

The dice are awesome
Not only are the dice lovely, the metal ones look fantastic, but even the emails about the dice are great. Fantastic shop, fantastic dice, and I will be buying more dice here. Many, many, many more dice...
