GN 'Snowflake' Full Tabletop and D&D Premium Dice Set | 7-Piece Dice, Wooden Box, & Creature Card
GN 'Snowflake' Full Tabletop and D&D Premium Dice Set | 7-Piece Dice, Wooden Box, & Creature Card
The GamersNexus ‘Snowflake’ Dice Set uniquely embeds a custom-made miniature of GN’s Chief Cat Officer Snowflake, painted to resemble her pattern, within resin sharp-edge dice to create a cat-themed tabletop gaming and D&D Premium Dice Set. The dice are tinted with a light blue hue and use a white font, with the D6 (6-sided die) featuring 6 paw prints for the ‘6’ result. Included with each dice set is a wooden box, featuring an engraved ‘Alchemy’ logo (with electronics and PC component symbols for the ‘runes’). We use natural wood for the box, leading to beautiful variation in color based on the natural tones and grains in the wood. The dice box was designed in CAD and splits into three components: (1) The top lid, which can flip to become a fabric-lined dice roll tray, (2) the inner hexagon to secure the dice in transit, and (3) the lower foam-padded base to hold the dice. The box includes two latches and several magnets to hold everything secure in transit. Unique to the Snowflake set, we’ve also included a Foil ‘Snowflake, Heedless One’ card with a hand-drawn (by Steve’s mom!) portrait of Snowflake in the most imperious pose possible. This would go great in any casual play / house or proxy rules cat or Leonin-style deck.
Many of us on GN staff have experience playing games like MTG (Magic), Dungeons & Dragons (and derivatives), Warhammer, War Machine, and other tabletop games, so we brought this experience to dice and combined it with our PC building background.
These dice were created over a period of nearly a year and have been tested for probability distribution and randomness (found within usual variance of common casual play dice on the market). The higher-quality sharp edge nature of the dice, rather than a much cheaper tumbled rounded edge, helps with randomness and gives a higher quality feel. The dice are slightly larger than average (in our experience) to accommodate larger Snowflake minis.
The Snowflake dice set is sold alongside a (separate) Inductor dice set, themed around E-waste and PC electronics. These are available via a different product page on the store.

Snowflake Cat Miniatures
Embedded within each of the 7 dice from the ‘Snowflake’ dice set is a tiny cat miniature figurine, modeled and painted based on GN cat Snowflake. The mini features Snowflake’s distinct stripes — clearly the mark of an esteemed huntress — and was made as large as the dice could accommodate. Minis not separately available.
Sharp Edge Resin Dice
Sharp-edge resin dice are more expensive to manufacture than the more prevalent tumbled rounded edge dice. In our testing, the sharp edges help with randomness of the rolls (rounded edges are done asymmetrically in a tumbler) and help compensate for embedding items within the dice. This allows rolls within casual play variance.
Snowflake, Heedless One
Each dice set includes a GN Random Treasure Table for a D20 for DMs and GMs (that Steve wrote from his old DMing days) and an included playing card. The Snowflake set includes a ‘Snowflake, Heedless One’ Cat Avatar (creature card) with power and toughness equal to cats in play. It’s probably overpowered.
Each dice set includes a custom-made wooden dice box that we designed in CAD. The box splits into three pieces: The lid (which has the etched GN Alchemy logo) unlatches and flips to become a fabric-lined roll tray to help with constrained play spaces, the intermediary inner wooden layer separates to give easier access to dice, and the lower base contains the dice themselves. Foam padding surrounds the dice. Because each set includes one of each common die type for tabletop gaming, the dice are versatile for play across many popular games. Within our team alone, we’ve found use for them in Dungeons & Dragons and its derivatives, Magic: The Gathering (MTG), Warhammer and wargaming variants, deck building games, and more.
