#i know it's nikki's iconic color but

[ephemeral-gremlin]

i love how purple they let nikki be in this one

[goldendoodlerlockerlove]

What's this?? Another piece already?? I know, it's crazy!!

But I just had the absolute pleasure of doing a Roudise/Louwheeze Comm for @sailoreuterpe as a very special gift to @devilh0rnsinc and @ltwharfy!! It's as a sort of thank you for being the captains of the Roudise ship and running such a wonderful Roudise Week back in December, and to get back at that horrible anon who sent Devil that awful message.

But on a lighter note, this piece was an absolute blast to work on. Nikki chose my simple sketch style, so I ended up going a bit extra and doing some simple monochromatic coloring and shading for her at no extra cost. I thought it would make it even cuter and give it even more of a romantic vibe. I decided it would be a very cute concept to have the two of them kissing, but Rudy is actually wearing Louise's bunny ears, as a symbol of how much they trust each other now. And I also thought it would be cute if Rudy was sort of getting even with Louise for her surprise kiss in Bob, Actually, and giving Louise a surprise kiss.

[ID]: Digital fanart of Rudy and Louise from Bob's Burgers. They are shown from the waist up and kissing in a side view. Rudy is wearing Louise's iconic bunny ear hat, and his eye is closed in contentment. Louise's eye is wide open with surprise. Her hair looks quite fluffy and is still in its usual pigtails. She is also wearing a sweater. There is some pink/yellow monochromatic coloring, giving off a romantic vibe.

And a lot of other things that i will add as i remember they exist. Feel free to ask if i'll do smth. I haven't seen everything on this list but i have seen a good chunk of them.

FAQ:

How to Request?

Just send me an ask on this blog detailing what you what like! It's that simple. Include as little or as much info as you would like. The more specific you are, the more likely you are to get exactly what you want. But vague requests aren't necessarily a problem. And anon asks ARE turned on, so don't feel shy!

What Can You Request?

Icons of a specific character

Icons of a specific character with a pride flag/s

Send me a screenshot and i'll edit out the background for you

Themed icons(ex: webcore, a specific color scheme, glittery, etc)

Wallpapers/lock screens of a certain dimension/ratio

A past thing I made but edited in some way

Transparents of a certain character i haven't done yet

Userboxes

Matching icons with 2 or more characters. I'll try to make them look as similar as possible/give them a cohesive theme.

Color picked pride flags

If something seems like i could do it, feel free to request it even if it may not be listed here. Worst thing that happens is i politely let you know i can't do it.

Userboxes stating you kin a character/are that character

Userboxes saying a character is your comfort character

Userboxes saying a character is your F/O

What Info Should I Include In My Request?

The following are extra pieces info you could include in your request to make it easier on me:

What size to make a wallpaper. This can be exact measurements or if you have an image that is the right size than feel to send that to me as well. (I'm not sure if you can send media through requests, but if not then feel free to dm this blog. If you want to remain anonymous on the request then i won't share your blog)

If the character you are requesting has multiple outfits, specify which ones you do/don't want. If you don't specify, i'll usually just use a mix.

What icon/edit i've done in the past do you want me to base it on? This isn't required, but if you want a guarantee that it will turn out a certain way then feel free to give the link to a specific thing i've done in the past. If nothing is specified i'll do what i usually do: whatever i want. Which i like to think usually doesn't turn out bad but it does mean you get a certain level of unpredictability when it comes to the little details.

What pride flag to use if there are multiple version.(ex. The sunset aroace flag vs both the aro and ace flags)

What Happens If I Don't Like How My Request Turns Out?

Simply let me know! Send another ask politely letting me know what I did wrong and i'll fix it!

When Do Requests Close?

Requests will close whenever i am busy/overwhelmed with my life. I will also probably close requests once i reach a certain amount so that i can catch up before getting new ones. Remember that i am a real person and have others things to do than just run this blog.

How Long Will My Request Take?

Depends on how interested i am in it. I will try to get to every request when i can, and the amount of requests i currently have affects that. If it is something I find very fun to work on it will probably get done faster. ;3 Of course after I finish the request It will be thrown in the queue. I sometimes have a backlog of posts but i try to queue requests to pop up within a couple days of me finishing them.

Can I Request More Than Once?

Yep! There is no limit whatsoever on how many requests you can submit. So go wild :)

Do I Have To Credit You?

You never have to directly credit me if you use something i've made, but rebloging it IS appreciated! It's how my work gets spread around to other people. But if you do want to credit me in your bio or whatever because you're using one of my icons i will always appreciate it :) THE EXCEPTION IS MY ICONS/EDITS USING ANOTHER PERSON'S ARTWORK! It is imperative that if another artist has been gracious enough to let me use their work that you properly credit them if using something i've made with it!!! Just a simple "credits to: link to artist" in your bio or pinned post should be enough!

What Do You Use To Make These?

A combination of Canva and Ibis Paint X!

Can Reblog With "Kin/Me/F/O" Tags?

Yep yep!! That's 100% allowed!

Plan Your Perfect Beach Wedding in Dubai A Guide to Saying I Do by the Sea

Jovial Events

Dreaming of exchanging vows with the sound of waves in the background and soft sand beneath your feet? A beach wedding in Dubai can be the perfect setting for your special day. With its stunning coastline, luxurious resorts, and breathtaking sunsets, Dubai offers a variety of picturesque beach venues for couples looking to tie the knot. Here’s your ultimate guide to planning the perfect beach wedding in Dubai, brought to you by Jovial Events.

1. Choosing the Right Beach Venue

Dubai boasts several beautiful beach venues, each offering a unique ambiance and services. Consider the following options:

Jumeirah Beach: Known for its iconic views of the Burj Al Arab, this beach is perfect for both intimate and grand celebrations.

One&Only Royal Mirage: This luxury resort offers a private beach setting with lush gardens, making it ideal for a romantic ceremony.

Atlantis, The Palm: With its stunning beachfront and luxurious amenities, this venue combines elegance with a beautiful seaside backdrop.

Nikki Beach Resort: A trendy venue that offers a vibrant beach atmosphere with modern amenities for a chic wedding.

2. Selecting the Right Time

Timing is everything for a beach wedding. The best time to plan your wedding in Dubai is from November to April, when the weather is mild and pleasant. Consider scheduling your ceremony in the late afternoon or early evening to take advantage of the beautiful sunset.

3. Hiring a Professional Wedding Planner

Partnering with a professional wedding planner like Jovial Events can make the planning process seamless. They have the expertise to navigate the logistics of a beach wedding, coordinate vendors, and ensure everything runs smoothly on your big day.

4. Legal Requirements

Ensure you’re aware of the legal requirements for getting married in Dubai, especially for international couples. Check with your wedding planner to ensure all necessary documents are prepared well in advance to avoid any last-minute issues.

5. Guest Accommodation and Travel

If your guests are traveling from afar, help them make arrangements by recommending nearby hotels and resorts. Many beach venues in Dubai offer special rates for wedding guests, so inquire about group bookings. Consider organizing transportation for guests to and from the venue for added convenience.

6. Decor and Personal Touches

Your beach wedding decor should reflect the natural beauty of the surroundings while incorporating your personal style. Think about elegant draping, floral arrangements, and comfortable seating that complements the coastal setting. Soft colors and natural materials can enhance the beach vibe, creating a romantic atmosphere.

7. Catering and Menu Selection

Choose a catering service that specializes in beach weddings and can provide fresh, delicious cuisine. Consider a menu that highlights local flavors and fresh seafood. Additionally, a sunset cocktail hour with refreshing drinks and light bites can be a perfect way to welcome guests.

8. Entertainment Options

Set the mood with the right entertainment. You might opt for a live band or a DJ to play romantic tunes during the ceremony and upbeat music for the reception. Consider adding unique elements like a fire dancer or a local musician to enhance the beach vibe.

9. Plan for the Weather

Although Dubai enjoys beautiful weather, it’s wise to have a backup plan in case of unexpected changes. Tent rentals can provide shelter from the sun or wind, ensuring your guests remain comfortable throughout the event.

10. Capture the Moment

Hire a skilled photographer who specializes in beach weddings to capture the beauty of your special day. Discuss your vision with them to ensure they know the key moments you want to be captured, from the ceremony to candid shots during the reception.

Best Crüe Looks: Too Fast For Love

Because I hate myself, I've decided to do a breakdown of the best looks/outfits worn by Vince, Nikki, Mick, and Tommy, what they say about their personalities, and how they tie in with the overall theme of the album. I know nothing about fashion or how it works. Just an idiot talking out of their butt. Starting with their first album.

Overall Look: Being their first album, initially released on their independent label, Too Fast For Love was recorded on a shoestring budget and gained a following via word-of-mouth due to the band's aggressive campaigning and growing reputation in the Sunset Strip club scene. Their raw, DIY punk-meets-Judas Priest aesthetic is reflected in their outfits which often feature leather, studs, chains, knee-high boots, and studded collars, oftentimes stealing peices or clothing/having peices made by girlfriends. Overall, the boys wore whatever they could get their grubby hands on.

At this point, it's evident that despite budget constraints, the band was trying to develop a cohesive look that would set them apart from bands at the time, with their teased hair, calling back to 70's glam rock and chains. Red, black, and white appear to be motif colors with each member incorporating the color scheme into their outfits.

Mick:

Being significantly older and more reserved than the rest of the guys, Mick's style is notably less androgynous and flamboyant. In contrast to Vince and Tommy who are not shy when it comes to showing skin, Mick is less adventurous, while still looking very badass, decked out in black leather pants with the word MARS down the side of the leg, a leather jacket, a simple black shirt, and platform boots. Keeping with the punky DIY theme, he wears a studded collar, studded wrist bands, and a studded belt, pulling the outfit together while coordinating with the others.

Tommy:

Just barely out of high school when the band first formed and the youngest member of the band, Tommy's style reflects his youthful, hyperactive personality. Fun, playful, and never afraid to show a little skin. While keeping with the red, white, and black color scheme, Tommy's outfits would often feature more distinctive patterns as seen with his black and white color block jeans.

Vince:

To quote Doug Thaler, "Vince is a California surfer-rock guy, the peacock of peacocks." As Mötley's Crüe's lead singer, Vince stands apart from the rest of the band with his platinum blonde hair and bold clothing choices. His bright red cutoff jacket, complete with a pentagram armband and matching red knee high boots are statement peices that draw the attention of the crowd.

Nikki:

Ending with Mötley Crüe's primary song writer/ring leader, everything about Nikki's style screams "Vince may be the lead singer, but I'm the one in charge." His outfit in the bottom image, is seemingly an inverted version of Vince's, with red pants and black knee high boots. Of all the guys, he seems to have incorporated the most red into his outfits, giving him a distinct appearance within the group. He also really leans into the DIY aesthetic, using what appears to be red duct tape to create patterns down his pants and sleeves. Being slightly older than Vince and Tommy and per his own account, suffering from insecurity during that time, he tends to hide behind his hair and appears to be more covered up than his younger bandmates.

TL/DR: While our boys may still be broke, starving, and taking whatever they could find/steal/finagle, this era is marks the beginning of a long tradition of iconic themed looks from the band.

[twisted-lies]

Anon asked: hi! can i get some poniko and uboa (both from yume nikki) icons? preferably with mute/monotone colors and any shape + size is fine! as for aesthetic wise I'd like something like weirdcore with liminal spaces?

Hey hey Anon! I apologize these didn't turn out too good, I'm not very good with either of these aesthetics, but feel free to let me know if you need me to change anything

[aleniksimmer]

Mayura looks great, and the side by side comparisons of Chat Noir's changes are really cool to see! Out of curiosity, do you play Shining Nikki at all? Because it's in 3D, maybe you could find some non-Miraculous fashion inspiration if you want. The "into the ruins" set really reminded me of your cyborg bodysuit CC.

Do I? 👀

I've been playing Love Nikki for years and I was waiting in trepidation for Shining Nikki, and tbh I'm addicted xD I mean I play once a day typically but I love love love the models (and Lilith lol). I can't wait for the angel/demon/gown/disney/sakura suits to come to the second english server (where I'm playing) :D

Btw the cyborg suit was actually inspired by LoveNikki Ruin suits, in particular Angelika's dream :) (and my futuristic color palette too)

I would love to make some Shining Nikki inspired items some day but they will be really time expensive cause they are full of details. I know some people already converted some models from the game to sims 4 (the iconic Lilith dress and the valentine one for example) but I prefer to make them myself from scratch and make them look a bit more maxis match :)

[nicomoru-archive]

Idk dream smp lore enough to make this post but imma just list all my opinions on all the characters i remember cause i’m in the mood

c!wilbur seems like he doesn't wash his hair. Just seems like a greasy guy, definitely would beat him up

c!techno is cool, anarchist, got that lil polar bear bud, like his general theme, great all around. His character definitely showers, has an extensive hair routine.

c!phil has a cool wife. Also a regular shower taker, doesn’t do anything extra though. 

c!tommy steals things idk, pretty cool of him. Feel like he tries to take regular showers but forgets. 

c!tubbo lil goat man, so perfect, so great, so chaotic, always love the fanart for him. Early tubbo takes regular showers whereas post snowchester tubbo does not. 

c!ranboo is alright i guess, imma be honest know nothing about this plotline. takes regular lava showers tho. baths? baths would make more sense

Michael is perfect. Ranboo takes care of his hygiene. 

c!dream is a funky lil evil man with barely any redeemable qualities, yeah you bully those kids king. 100% does not take showers tho, never has never will. 

c!george’s mushroom theme is great, lore 10 outta 10 cause i actually know whats going on at most times. Also doesn’t shower, that cottage core aesthetic is hiding a layer of constant grime. 

c!sapnap is a fire demon fuck you cc!sapnap i make the rules here. Showers the bare minimum amount to not be labeled as disgusting. 

c!karl timetravels? idk cool color scheme bro. Showers and also takes fancy baths to relax. 

c!quackity is great, evil in the best way possible, i like his moves. Showers but there are periods of time where he forgets to for weeks. Either that or he only takes baths it’s one or the other. 

c!slimecicle is also perfect, can do no wrong and has done know wrong. Takes showers to keep his human skin nice and squeaky clean.

c!schlatt was also a fun evil guy, liked how he just had a heart attack and died and has barely done anything else. Didn’t shower. Did use baby wipes though, just like in general. 

c!connoreatspants as far as i know only steals houses? whatever, he takes regular showers. 

c!bbh funky demon guy, egg? yeah egg. showers three times a day. four if he’s feelin frisky 

does c!skeppy have a plotline? probably, all i know is he does not take showers. 

c!antfrost funky cat guy, egg? yeah egg. Regular showers unless you want to be absolutely feral and say he bathes himself like a cat which no i don’t think i will

c!ponk seems really cool, that’s a plotline i need to follow more. anyway, will take showers if he remembers to and has the time.

c!sam is unlikeable but like that’s the point isn’t it. Showers twice a day, seems like he smells good. 

c!hannah is neat, love the art for her, it’s great. first to say i don’t know enough about her lore to gage on how much she showers. gut feeling says she doesn’t but will wade through lakes on occasion.

Hey everyone! So I know it's kinda been a while since we last talked.

How is everyone here?

Lindsey: "Oh, it's Munchkin, I'm fine-- we're fine, everybody's fine here. We're dead, but other than that, we're fine."

Nikki: "He-he, look your boyfriend's back!"

Ginny: "Aw, you two are sooo cute together!"

Lindsey: "S-shut up!"

((There's a separate post about these specific reaction icons that I made later. It deals with a certain... issue you may be thinking about if you've ever seen the full image. If not, the girls are fully clothed, and these are simply platonic blushing reaction icons.

The triplets individual Blue-Pink-Orange color scheme was going to come from the now defunct Paranormal Productions blog, but they had Ginny as purple even though all of them wear purple... but then the next post happened and I retroactively had to switch everything around. Tell me if you think I should continue on this path, eventually redoing the How to Tell Your Magician Triplets Apart page to reflect the new colors. If Ninja Turtles, the Chipmunks, and Donald Duck have taught us anything, it's that color-coding siblings is the best way to tell them apart.))

((Reposting cause there was something in the drawing I had to fix that was bugging me for a while,,,perfectionist things-))

_____

Preston why?!

Nikki internally cursed while burying her face into her hands, her palms feeling the heat emitting from her cheeks. She felt like she was stuck in one of those trashy TV love dramas that Gwen was INFATUATED with. She could distinctly hear her heartbeat rampant as she began to tremble from embarrassment and fear.

She knew telling Preston was a mistake, but she was desperate! She never had a crush before, especially on Max of all people. He was her best friend and she didn’t even notice she was feeling something NOT platonic until she voiced her feelings out to Nerris and Dolph.

...

“It’s weird...” Nikki wrapped up her rambling as her fingers played with the soft grass beneath her legs. “It feels like the period except worse and this happens only around him! It’s like a bunch of bugs are crawling around in my stomach and maybe even my lungs? My heart is being mauled by a wolf and NOT in a good way.”

Her view was so fixated on the buttons on her overalls that when she finally looked up, she was met with an expression of pure awe and happiness from Dolph, and the biggest smirk that Nerris could wear.

“It sounds like to me that Nikki the brave is harboring romantic feelings for Max the cynical.” Nerris’ voice was dripping with smugness as she turned to look at Dolph waiting for an agreement from him.

“Oh definitely! I am so happy for you Nikki!” Dolph’s eyes were shining and his smile beamed bright.

“Oh jeez...I was hoping it was just a bug I ate...” Nikki felt her cheeks heat up, and it wasn’t from the sun shining down on them. “So what do I do now?! Can I just ignore this and wait for it to die?! That sounds easy.”

“Trust me it’s not. I do know of a person whose intellect in this field ranges far superior to ours...but...” Nerris looked at Nikki with a look of uncertainty now. “He can’t exactly keep quiet about it.”

Dolph immediately knew who Nerris was referring to.

“Preston does know a lot with romantic feelings...but if we tell him, he’s going to go all out with it!” Dolph exclaimed with a bit of concern in his voice. Preston has always been known to blow things out of proportion...

“...why couldn’t it just be a wolf going at my heart? That would have been so much better...”

Nikki sighed as they all reluctantly agreed to go and ask Preston on what to do about the matter. Once they told him, he put every fangirl reading this to shame. He was practically jumping with vigor and spinning around the stage, reciting Nikki’s newfound feelings for Max like poetry. Eventually, Preston calmed down and decided on a way to help Nikki.

“A musical! One about a love story similar to yours! I’ll perform it tonight and as everybody is watching my award winning performance, Max should realize how similar the story is to his relationship with you! It’s the perfect way to encourage that ruffian to confess his undying love for you.” Preston’s pupils almost popped off his face, and Nikki swore she could see stars in them. Nerris and Dolph agreed with Preston, but not without a bit of hesitation.

“Don’t use their real names Preston!” Nerris reminded him of something that should have already been obvious.

“I will help with the backdrop!” Dolph smiled as his fists shook with excitement.

“....fine. As long as you don’t make it obvious...and please don’t go all out...” Nikki gave a light command to Preston.

“Yeah yeah of course! Now all of you off the stage! I have a musical to write!”

....

Needless to say, Preston went all out.

Nikki was brought back to reality, and felt frozen in her spot. She refused to look to her side where of course, the cynical best friend she has feelings for, was standing.

Max has absolutely NO idea how to respond to this.

He felt frozen as well, his eyes fixated on the backdrop with Preston’s singing becoming simple background noise. To say his face was dark red was an understatement, and he knew that he was rivaling the color of David’s hair at that point. His mouth was slightly agape and his pupils became dots, but he didn’t care at all to try and conceal his expression. Why was that?

He was still in shock that Nikki actually liked him back.

And of fucking course, Neil had the exact same revelation as him.

“HOLY SHIT SHE ACTUALLY LIKES YOU BACK?!”

Neil was flabbergasted at that point. Max would constantly rant to Neil on a nightly basis about his confusion regarding the teal-haired girl, and Neil always thought it was one sided. He secretly thought that Nikki was too sweet to like someone like Max, and that she was probably just being nice. That didn’t mean he didn’t want them to get together however, cause he REALLY wanted them to get together. It was frustrating watching them act the way that Gwen and David did except in their own Max and Nikki way.

Neil covered his mouth in regret, realizing that he more or less confessed for Max out loud...in front of everybody.

“NEIL WHAT THE FUCK?!”

Max was sweating like hell underneath his hoodie now, and he felt his heart about to leap out his throat. Meanwhile, Nikki was ready to pass out at this point. All hell broke loose now, and a pandemonium of mixed reactions started.

“Holy shit!”

“I knew it! I fucking knew it!”

“Alright which one of you owes me ten bucks?!”

“AAAAAAAAAAAAAA-“

“Wow Neil and Preston...confessing their feelings for them? Not cool.” Ered looked at the both of them in disapproval, although she was secretly content that the feelings finally got out into the open.

“Dolph! I thought we agreed to keep their identities secret! Why did you draw them like that on the backdrop!” Nerris questioned Dolph in bewilderment, Dolph responding with nothing more than “Preston ordered me to!”

“The love they have for each other almost rivals the magic I perform! Only almost.” Harrison pulled out his hat and allowed a mixture of doves and butterflies to take to the sky.

“Damn I really thought Max would tell her himself...not Neil.” Nurf mumbled to himself as he reluctantly handed ten dollars over to none other than their female counselor.

“Gwen! Making bets with the campers is very unprofessional, especially during a heartwarming moment like this!” David wiped the tears of joy from his eyes as Gwen placed the crumpled paper into her pocket. “I should probably stop this.”

“Don’t even try it David!” Gwen was brainstorming countless fanfic ideas at this point, and if there was a bigger fangirl than Preston, it was definitely her. “I missed the series premiere of the newest Bachelor, and this was completely worth it!”

“Oh my stars...look at them! They look like they’re about to pass out!” Space Kid smiled in innocence, merely pointing at the newly proclaimed couple.

Max and Nikki finally looked to their sides, and locked eyes.

In a matter of seconds, Nikki did just what Space Kid said, cause the next thing she knew was that she woke up in the middle of the night in her cot.

And she was wearing Max’s hoodie?

Kraken Dice Woes

As I’ve mentioned in some previous posts, I am a big fan of tabletop gaming. D&D, Pathfinder, Seventh Sea, whatever gets people around the table having fun--and usually rolling dice. We love dice. Nikki and I have dozens of sets built up over the years. So, when Kraken Dice launched their Iconic Mythical Collection Kickstarter, we bought in. I’d heard of Kraken; these weren’t some Johnny-come-lately-fly-by-night operators. My money should have been in good hands.

Fast forward 15 months. Our dice arrived today (six months late) and, like the many people who left their comments on that afore-linked Kickstarter, we are deeply disappointed. There is nothing for it now: the very nature of Kickstarter is investing in a product without knowing what you’ll get. But Kraken’s approach to this effort, their repeated delays, miscommunications and overall quality of the product forces me to write about it here, in the forum most available to me. If you care not about the matter, you may bow out now.

We purchased, in total, 13 sets of dice. Whether that seems excessive to you, this was a special thing for us. But I throw out that number so that the following statement carries more weight. Not one of our dice sets matched the images and product that Kraken offered in their Kickstarter. One set came somewhat close: the standard Fairy set. Our other standard (layered) set, the Dragon Egg, was pale, faded, and lacked contrasting colors. That proved to be a common theme with the rest of our dice which were the “ethereal” variety. 

Can you, even with the assistance of the Kraken Kickstarter, identify the eight sets of dice I’ve pulled D20s from here? Go ahead, I’ll wait.

Give up? It was a trick question. There are only four sets here. Each set came with two D20, and I have stacked them on top of each other here. (By the way, left to right, they are Ethereal Kraken, Ethereal Saberwolf, Ethereal Hydra and Ethereal Banshee.) That’s right, the D20s in the first column came from the same bag. That also goes for the two D20s in the third column. Notice how pale and almost colorless the dice on top are. The second column are a bit closer. The fourth column are almost identical. That’s good. If only they looked anything like they were supposed to. This was the set I was most intrigued by: the Ethereal Banshee, which actually glows in the dark. And mine did glow! However, the dice themselves are clouded, muddied and lacking in any of the distinct pattern Kraken offered.

And there’s a reason for that. Kraken, in violation of Kickstarter’s policies on honesty, used photorealistic renders to show what the dice should look like. These renders look magnificent. No wonder so many people, including us, pledged. And I have not seen any pictures that show that the dice delivered to any person are what were offered.

Here’s another set I was looking forward to: the Ethereal Dragon. The swirls in this one are quite nice, and some of them come close to the render. Not perfect, but close. The problem is, it’s supposed to have two colors, purple and green. Where’s the green? Oh, sure, you can see a really tiny splash of it on some of the dice, but it’s practically absent.

The same goes for the Living Spell set, which was a hyped up set created by “Maze Arcana.” The renders on this were gorgeous, a bizarre yet workable fusion of yellow and pink/purple. Where’s my other color? All I get here is faint gold swirls. Super, super disappointing.

Perhaps my biggest disappointment comes from the set I was most looking forward to: Ethereal Phoenix. I have a particular fondness for red/orange/yellow style sets. The campaign shows tantalizing wisps of red and yellow in a beautiful clear resin base die. We ordered two of this and between them, I still can’t make one set that approximates what was offered. The best dice are shown up top here, and some of them are nice. But the others were just as off the mark as what I’ve already shown. And of the 4 D20s, there’s not one of them that I would trust to pull my character’s fat out of the fire--or put the other players’ fat into it.

The bottom line is that while I acknowledge the risks of Kickstarter, I feel this project has been mismanaged at virtually every step since its completion and I am saddened by the result and feel a little taken advantage of. Each of our bags of dice was marked with a different number from 1 to 6 (even those from the same sets), indicating what I suspect was some sort of inspection or quality control marking. To think that anyone looked at these and thought they were fine to send along is appalling. Kraken Dice has essentially forever lost the business of my household. I will be sticking to other mainstays like Chessex, as well as some new possibilities like Random Encounter Dice, and I hope you do as well, or else let the buyer beware.
