A red die, a bold 20 and a blast bright enough to wake the whole party.

This dice mug catches the high point of game night and holds it still: a red twenty-sided die with the 20 in front, exploding out of a comic-book burst. It is drawn with tabletop role-players in mind, and it is a simple pick for whoever brings the snacks and the spare dice.

The design: Critical Hit D20 Explosion

The die takes up the middle of the print: twenty-sided, comic-book red, held together by heavy black outlines, with thin hatch marks shading its triangular faces. The face pointing at you is a lighter red than the rest, and it carries a large white 20 edged in black.

Around the die, an explosion goes off in three rings: a white-hot core closest to it, a band of yellow, then jagged orange-red points that shoot outward all the way around, like flames. Against the black mug, the bright rings read at a glance from across the table.

The print is wordless, and it needs no caption. Anyone who has played a tabletop RPG knows what a 20 on this die means: a critical hit. It is the long-shot plan that somehow works, the roll the group talks about for weeks. The design keeps that moment on your desk between sessions.

Easy to live with between sessions

• Glossy-finish ceramic in black: the dark surface sets off the warm reds and yellows of the burst
• The die appears twice, left and right, so the 20 shows whichever hand you drink with
• Dishwasher safe: load it alongside the snack bowls once the session is over
• Microwave safe: when a long combat round leaves your tea lukewarm, reheat it in the same mug
• Nothing in the material contains lead or BPA, a fair thing to ask of a mug you fill daily

Who it's for

Players who name their dice, game masters who keep count of every lucky roll, and friends who only ever play the bard will all get the picture. Set it beside the character sheets on game night or next to the monitor during the work week. It suits a birthday, the first session of a new campaign, a holiday exchange within the group or as thanks to the host who lends out the table.

Quick answers

Which games use a die like this?

Many tabletop RPGs roll a twenty-sided die to decide whether an action succeeds. The art carries no logo, character or game title, so it suits whichever system your group plays.

What does the front of the mug look like?

Plain black. The two prints sit on the sides, so from straight on, with the handle at the back, you see only the outer edge of each burst.

Is the bigger mug wider too?

Same width, more height: the bigger mug stands a little under an inch taller and adds four ounces of room, handy when a session runs past midnight.
