 RPG a Day 2024, day 25: Desirable dice ? I'm actually not a big one for dice. Of course I have a collection amassed over the last 30 odd years, but it's surprisingly sparse compared to many.

One thing I did want to get my hands on while I was there was a Japanese Call of Cthulhu supplement.  Before going, I did a little research, and found that there was a store close to where we were staying that sold RPGs, the Yellow Submarine .

If I had more cash, I would have bought a large range of these, instead, I picked one. Purchases made Pretty dice ...
