The Caverns of Thracia
A thousand-year-old dungeon mystery waiting to be solved!
The end of one empire sees the birth of a new one deep within the earth. Born in the forgotten chambers and caverns of age-lost Thracia rises a formidable foe: the Minotaur King, along with his host of dog brothers, gnolls, lizardmen, and others. Some say that even Death itself lingers in the Caverns of Thracia, ready to claim any who stumble upon its unholy chapel. The secrets of Thracia are manifold, its treasures thrice that. Do you have the mettle to survive… the Caverns of Thracia?

Custom Dice Sets
Thracia-inspired deluxe dice sets with unique effects!
Each of these four colors is custom-mixed with multiple effects inspired by the aesthetics of Caverns of Thracia. They utilize resin, foil inserts, two-color mixes, translucent materials, and custom paint colors. Due to the many special materials, some designs are more expensive than what we've offered the past.
For this campaign we are offering each dice design in two packages: a 9-die set of traditional polyhedrons (with 3d6), or a 7-die “DCC funky set”. The traditional set includes d4, 3d6, d8, d10, d%, d12 and d20. The "DCC funky set" includes d3, d5, d7, d14, d16, d24, and d30. If you'd like a complete dice chain, buy both sets!
Inspired by the original Caverns of Thracia cover scheme, Thracian Smoky Sacrifice Dice are made with an acrylic swirl of the light blue cover color with the dark green verdigris tone, with gold numbers.
Inspired by classic Greek terracotta pottery, Terracotta Greek Vase Dice are truly special. These are made with a special translucent tan resin, infused with flecks of black foil, with gold ink. You have to see them sparkle in sunlight to really appreciate how beautiful they are.
