#wyrmwood x dispel

Since iI want people to see what they are getting from the DispelxWyrmwood Kickstarter, I am posting pics of the things I bought. This is my second purchase from Dispel and my first from Wyrmwood, although I have received Wyrmwood as a gift once so I have limited experience with both of their products. I took these pictures with my phone a few minutes ago. No staging, no special lighting (just my phone’s flash because my room is lit like a cave)… I’m not an experienced or fancy photographer, so what you see is what you get.

Up front, I’ll say that I really liked the packaging the dice came in this time around. The packaging for my other Dispel dice was nice but a little tricky to use. These boxes are a much smoother experience and I feel like the dice fit into them better.

The purple set is the Noble Ambition. Compared to the campaign photos, I guess they were fairly accurate. In the campaign photos, they were more of a blue-purple and in reality they are closer to a pink-purple. That is probably the most noticeable difference. I’m not mad at them though and I still think they’re pretty.

The blue-purple-peach set is Pastel Dreamscape. I found it hard to take an accurate picture of what I got, but mine are really similar to the campaign photos. They’re not as dark looking as my photos make them appear, but the peach colouration was hard to capture. I’m quite happy with these. For a better picture of how these came out, check out @battlecrazed-axe-mage. Their pictures for this colour way are much better than mine.

The teal coloured dice are the Sunken Treasure set. I am the most happy with these. They are completely identical to the campaign photos and they are stunning in person. They were a last minute decision for me but I’m so glad I went with them.

The final purchase I made was for the Lunar Vault. Honestly, I am the least happy with this one. The resin on top is not as sparkly as the photo makes it look. In person, it is mostly matte. It is also less like inlaid resin and more like a fine coating of resin. In fact, the layer of resin on top is so thin that you can see the wood underneath through it. The peek-a-boo wood underneath combined with the flakes of glitter in the resin makes it look like silver particleboard. :/ The vault itself is well made and it securely holds my dice, but the resin inlay on the top looks cheaply done IMHO. I would have liked to see a much thicker coat of resin on the top so that the wood colour wasn’t coming through the resin.

Anyways, I guess that’s my review/personal experience. It was mostly a positive experience. If I could do it over, I wouldn’t get the vault for that price.
