Hi, it’s me, Dice Dominion, aka Kinga Dukaj!
I make handmade dice and other things (art, comics, etc but that’s another story).
Long story short:
I fell in love with TTRPGs through Critical Role and have been playing a Werewolf the Apocalypse campaign for the last few years. My dice inspiration comes from that and lots of other things.

Short story slightly longer:
I’m from southern Sweden and make handmade dice among other things.
My journey began, as so many, many others began… with Critical Role (cue CR theme).
I’ve always loved video games, I love the stories that can be told, love to experience the art and always get invested in the voice actors. I’d been following Laura Bailey on Instagram for a long while and seen her post about Critical Role a bunch. I’d tried to watch Campaign 1 before but I wasn’t that into TTRPG’s and had a hard time following what was going on. So I gave up on that for a while.
Then the pandemic hit. I was losing my mind and finally cracked and watched UnDeadwood with Marisha Ray, Matt Mercer, Travis Willingham, Khary Payton, Anjali Bhimani, [REDACTED], and Ivan Van Norman as the Bartender.
BAM!
I was hooked. It was a great story, everyone had great chemistry and I could feel that there was something special about these people in this setting. I wanted more and gave Critical Role’s second campaign a chance and finally, I fell in love. Hard.
Now, I’d been steering my creative brain away from resin art for a number of years. It’s time consuming, very toxic and expensive, so I had a mild interest for it percolating in the back of my mind.
Fortunately, some of my friends wanted to play Werewolf the Apocalypse a bit into the pandemic and I got a chance to finally try the marvel of TTRPG’s. When acquiring dice for my first game, the interest exploded and I found myself dreaming of creating dice.
And here we are…
