If you’re heading to Gen Con this year, brace yourself for a magical experience as FanRoll celebrates Dungeons & Dragons‘ 50th anniversary in style. The excitement is real as FanRoll, formerly known as Metallic Dice Games, launches their exclusive D&D 50th anniversary collector products from August 1-4 at the Indianapolis Convention Center.
In just two years, FanRoll has transformed from a dice supplier to a pop culture powerhouse in the tabletop gaming world. With a fresh rebrand, a slew of innovative gaming accessories, and partnerships with big names like Hasbro and Wizards of the Coast’s Dungeons & Dragons, FanRoll is setting new trends and standards. CEO Neal Hoffman shared their bold vision:
People thought we were crazy to enter the dice market. Dice are a commodity, and there’s no shortage of suppliers. Our strategy was to stand out with fan-focused products for hardcore fans like us. With over 25 new items this year, including our D&D line, we’ve been busy creating and executing amazing products.
FanRoll’s 50th Anniversary Dungeons & Dragons Dice Sets
And amazing they are! In honor of D&D’s 50th anniversary, FanRoll is introducing three special edition dice sets that are true love letters to the game’s rich history. Inspired by the original dice set released by Dr. Eric Holmes in the 1970s, these new sets blend nostalgic charm with modern design and quality.
The Retro Holmes Replica Set
A must-have for anyone who wants to relive the magic of the original 1970s dice. It’s meticulously recreated, down to the crayon for coloring in the unpainted numbers, just like the old days. The set comes in a case featuring the original game’s artwork, making it a perfect piece for collectors.
The Modern Holmes-Inspired Set
A fresh take on the classic design, using contemporary materials and aesthetics. It’s a beautiful blend of old and new that will delight any D&D fan.
Limited-Edition Then-and-Now Combo Set
For the ultimate collector, this premium set combines the Retro and Modern sets in a stunning collector’s box, showcasing the evolution of D&D dice over the past 50 years. The modern set is upgraded with hand-polished sharp-edge dice, making it a true standout.
We can’t wait to see the fans’ reactions when we unveil our newest D&D collection at Gen Con. The fans are everything to us. We’ll keep listening to their feedback, creating new products, nurturing our partnerships, and finding new ways to rethink tabletop gaming. Oh, and slay lots of dragons!
