The catch? MacPherson doesn’t ship to the UK where this blogger is. I would have bought one otherwise, perhaps not as a dice jail, but as a place to put an appointed everpresent d20 for my writing desk. While dice jails can add an enjoyable element to your gaming sessions, the outcome of your rolls still ultimately depends on chance. It's all part of the unpredictable magic that makes the world of dice and dungeons so enchanting. I looked around and was impressed by how many good 3-D DnD Dice Jail models were already out there and available. My Mini Factory D&D Dice Jail
Thingiverse has another great 3-D printer design for a D&D dice jail, this one that includes the stylized “&” symbol that is synonymous with D&D players. You will want to make sure the resin you use is more solid, less flexible, as you are creating a mini structure versus a mini, and the design is solid. Don’t waver! If that die tries to give you the sad puppy eyes, you just look at it and yell “You know what you did!” and put on that red dunce cap! A good way to use it during a game would be to use it as a jail for the entire group, so you can take note of all of your critical failures. The big downside here is the box is not transparent in any way, so you can’t see the dice without opening the container. And as a lot of the fun of a dice jail is seeing the dice behind bars, this may or may not be a problem for you. But for those that want a really cool-looking container that can hold a ton of dice with no issue, this is for you.

Dice jails come in an array of materials, often chosen for their aesthetics and personal preferences. These include wood, metal, plastic, or even a combination of these materials. Also, I hate to have to do this, but I see a lot of people just grabbing other people's designs, and not changing them at all, but then selling them as their own product. This design is not... groundbreaking... but at the same time I think it's lame to take someone else's work and sell it as your own, so I've set the license to CA-Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike. That means that you're free to take this, remix it, do it however you want, but that this design should always be free. If you see someone selling this somewhere, let them know they're losers. This was designed with the idea of using thin metal rods that had a diameter of 2.75mm. I wanted the rods to be captured in place, so it's printed in 3 parts. The rods slip into the mid section, and then you can glue it together. I think metal coat hangers might be the same size... if you're looking for a source for that? Take a look at the options out there and find the dice jails that work perfectly to separate those bad dice from the others in your bag so you can keep running with the ones that are hot…gambler’s fallacy be darned!
It’s one thing to have to sit in a time out chair. It’s another when your misbehaving die has to do so while wearing a bright red dunce cap. Dice jail is a place where players can put dice that roll badly (causing negative consequences for the player characters, e.g. a critical fail). Dice that are put in dice jail are not used for subsequent rolls, perhaps for the rest of the session, and is therefore usually only a part of culture for players who have large dice collections. Dice jail is connected to the concept of dice shaming. Dungeons & Dragons, the iconic tabletop role-playing game, is celebrated for its boundless creativity and epic adventures. Players and Dungeon Masters revel in the unpredictable nature of the game, driven by the roll of the dice. But what happens when those dice consistently misbehave? Enter the DND dice jail, a creative and often playful solution to manage those unruly dice. So, feel free to use a dice jail, but remember that in the realm of dice, anything can happen! Should you get a dice jail?I won’t promise that your die will rehabilitate, because some are obstinate and just refuse to be rehabilitated.
Scouring the Internet for the best dice jails out there started out slow, but then became everything that I hoped for and more. There are so many great and imaginative people out there who saw the need for those of us who are frequently high-number challenged to have a place to put the absolute worst offenders of our dice. The detail and the handy inclusion of the chain can make this fit in really well with the D&D aesthetic. So if you’re someone who likes their stuff to help immerse them into the game, you can’t go wrong here. Plus, it’s very cheap, and you won’t exactly be shelling out a load to get it. If you want something small and funny to put your dice in when things don’t go your way, this is a great choice. It may be small and not that impressive in the grand scheme, but it’s still pretty satisfying to use on those pesky dice. These UV resin creations ship in 1 to 2 weeks and while they’re made by MacPherson Minis, they are a licensed 3D sculpt by a company called Dice Heads.

The Lynx chair is made from clay-like material. This helps get a heavy level of detail on a small model, keeps the price down, and adds that extra bit of unease for the misbehaving die.
