Ode to Water
I've always been fascinated by water. Even now, I cannot be outdoors around any body of water without touching it. I can, and have, lost track of time while mesmerized by ocean waves crashing against a rock. This set, with its gradient from nearly ice blue to murky indigo, captu…

Confession (Horror)
"I have a confession to make," I said to the shrouded figure on the other side of the lattice. There was a miasma of old paper and body odor in the booth. I wondered how many lost souls had been in here, sweating profusely, trying to seek forgiveness. The smell wasn't anything a…

Phantom Limbs
Phantom Limbs I came to Dispel for D6s because I was getting into Warhammer. I didn’t get why people were so excited about individual D20s yet. RedTigress welcomed me in, sent me a bunch of D6s for free, and gave me my first seven-piece set. She was kind of my spirit guide. On M…

We Thought They Were Pets
I wagged a piece of celery in front of Cyclops seductively to no avail. The rabbit was not having it. Even though I named him Cyclops, the rabbit obviously had two eyes. Although in a bout of genetic mischief, heterochromia made one eye right blue and the other inky black void.…

The Abyss Gazes Into You
I never had a concussion before, but I immediately suspected that this is what it would feel like. I could detect the rupture of delicate strands of blood vessels inside my skull. Was that fire I could smell? I knew that tiny bits of my mind had gone dark. Memories stolen; skill…

Ancient Wood
Fifty years since I last saw my dear Lauralai. Since I last saw her infectious smile, round face, and brown tresses of hair which framed her face like the branches of The Ancient Woods. The Ancient Woods I told her not to enter. Spots of the sun spilled between the cracks of the…

Creepy Crawlies, or - it’s hard making friends in your thirties.
It’s hard making friends in your thirties. The first few years of that decade are spent in covid; navigating lockdowns, restrictions, working from home. It’s supposed to be the greatest time of your life but the highlight of each day tends to be yelling to your flatmate that “ti…

I wish I could write Haikus, but alas, it's a story.
Probably not the most unique origin story, but - It all started with COVID. (Luckily) found a job working night shifts months after leaving a previous job before lockdown, which was pretty scary and really cut it close at the time. As per the kind of job I had, I could wear head…

Dark Fluffy Matter
Upon the evening intrudes an dubious patter The loot is out, and up comes the batter A swoosh of his tail, no ears could be flatter Forward advance with a moonstruck chatter Into the aether, your dice he will scatter One by one to the floor they clatter Rush in to save them, pra…

Midnight Happenstance
While a cat begins his midnight prance, He pauses to take takes a midnight glance, At a swirling tantalizing midnight expanse. His arm moves like a midnight lance, Your dice never stood a midnight chance, In this torrid midnight romance. As they fall, you stare in a midnight tra…

Eldritch Hellfire
##Eldritch Hellfire So many times out here I've watched a happy pair Of players rolling in the night They had a kind of glow around them It almost looked like Eldritch Fire I knew I'd never know That warm and loving glow Though I might wish with all my might No fate as unlucky a…

A Change of Vocation (Horror)
It has been a fortnight since I was attacked by the beast. It was dark, but even in the inky black, I could sense its mass before the assault. I was staggered by the blows of sharp claws and a gaping maw. Luckily, the night watch heard my pained cries before I was terminally wou…

For the Love of Eilistraee: The Acquisition of Moon Prism
I remember when the promotional photos dropped for Moon Prism and I could not breathe (am I over exaggerating? Am I? You’ll never know 😜). The pale shimmering purple with a rainbow sheen and silver paint was stunning. The jewel set design? Much desired. Perfect 20/10 no notes.…

I fed the dice my blood
I fed the dice my blood. It seemed like a small ask for power unimaginable. How could such beautiful objects ever be unkind? But once I did, everything became twisted, distorted. Each one of my desires was now a cancerous version of itself. With one last push, I rolled the dice…

The SET
The Set is not real, but she can become so with enough belief and enough love. She came to me on Instagram over the course of a few days in 2022. I was certain that based on the reaction to the posts that her arrival was imminent, and checked Dispel's site regularly, awaiting he…

The Sisterhood of the Traveling Dice
Lilac Song was THAT GIRL when the original Kickstarter launched, and was the set I knew I would purchase from the very beginning, no question. She was well loved for many years and had many grand adventures in my d&d games. I decided to let some Prologue sets go in Fall 2025, ri…
