A D&D Sapphire Anniversary Dice Set has been announced as one of the world's largest pencil-and-paper role-playing games celebrates not one but two anniversaries: it's been 45 years since the release of the original Dungeons & Dragons and five years since the release of Dungeons & Dragons Fifth Edition.
Upon its announcement Franchise VP Nathan Stewart had the following to say:
When the D&D team realized the sapphire is the traditional anniversary stone for both five years and forty-five years, and that adding a laboratory-created sapphire to a twenty-sided die wouldn't jeopardize the integrity of a roll, we couldn't pass up the chance to make something really cool to celebrate the milestones, the team put together a fun product for our fans that includes art and newly updated stats for sapphire dragons, making these classic dragons ready for play in your next D&D session.
For the enthusiast with $299.99 to spare!

Any hardcore AD&D dice thief knows you just have to rub a crayon color of your choice into the numbers and rub off the excess.

This being the 21st century, I use an ultra-fine-point Sharpie to ink my Ugly Dice.

Or you could just buy dice that aren't ugly...

I feel sorry for the ugly dice so I like to give them a makeover! They look and feel so pretty afterwards you are sure to roll more 20's.

But then people might steal them. No one steals Ugly Dice.
