We’re super proud of these calendars and we want to keep making them for years to come. We are the smallest company making these and we put a lot of thought into every one. Thank you so much to everyone that has backed these calendar projects over the years! It means so much!

A set of sparkling blue dice with silver ink. There are crossed swords on the high face of each die.

Since then lots of other dice companies have created advent calendars, but ours are still the only one with totally original dice inside. Sometimes those dice inspired new sets. This blue knight was inspired by a set in Advent-ure Calendar 5: Dragon’s Lair.

Every year since we have produced three calendars, one holiday, one for counting down to any event, and a big 31 day calendar for Halloween.

A case of Advent-ure Calendar 1: Holiday Tavern sitting open and showing the calendar boxes inside. The cover illustration shows a wizard walking through the snow, approaching a cozy tavern.

We’re proud to say we were the first dice company to make a dice filled advent calendar. The Holiday Tavern ran on Kickstarter in 2019 and sold out in a few hours.

We launched on Tuesday and we are sooo close to the funding goal. If you can follow and share this project with friends, family, anyone you know that is a dice goblin, it means a lot. So many of our friends are helping us boost the signal and we are super grateful!🥹

There are a lot of bad things happening all at once, and it’s overwhelming to think about how to meet moments like this.
