A World of Dice. A Family of Gamers
Independently owned since 2005. Inspired by a lifelong love of adventure.
Hello, and welcome to Dark Elf Dice. We're so glad you're here!
For over 20 years, we've helped tabletop gamers discover dice, miniatures, and gaming accessories that make their adventures a little more special. Based in Idaho, USA, we're a small, family-owned business with a big love for gaming, and we believe that finding the perfect dice should be part of the fun.
Whether you're preparing for your first Dungeons & Dragons adventure, adding to a treasured collection, or searching for something wonderfully unusual, we're happy to be part of your journey.
We Love Dice. Lots and Lots of Dice!
Since our earliest days, we've been fascinated by the incredible variety of dice available to tabletop gamers. Over the years, that variety has only grown. From classic polyhedral sets and colorful six-sided dice to giant dice, metal dice, beautiful gemstones, liquid core dice, and other unusual treasures, there's always something new and exciting to discover.
Some dice are practical companions for countless adventures. Others are little works of art, collected and admired as much as they're rolled. We think there's room for both.
Our goal has never been to tell gamers which dice are the best. It's to bring together a wonderful variety of choices so you can discover the ones that feel right for you.
After all, every adventurer has their own story. Why shouldn't their dice be just as unique?
What's in a Name? A Little Trip to the Underdark
The story behind Dark Elf Dice begins long before we opened our store in 2005.
Back in 1981, our founder discovered something unforgettable while exploring the world of Dungeons & Dragons: the drow, or dark elves, in Gary Gygax's classic adventure Descent Into the Depths of the Earth.
Here were elves unlike anything he'd encountered in The Hobbit or his earlier fantasy adventures. They lived deep beneath the surface in a mysterious realm called the Underdark, surrounded by danger, intrigue, and endless possibilities.
He was captivated. And, truth be told, he still is!
That early fascination with fantasy and role-playing games eventually helped inspire Dark Elf Dice. What began as a love of imaginary worlds became a family business dedicated to helping other gamers bring their own adventures to life.
We started selling dice on eBay in 2005 and launched our independent online store in 2008. The business has grown and changed over the years, but the enthusiasm that started it all remains very much the same.
A Small Family Business With a Big Love for Gaming
We're gamers and collectors ourselves. We understand the excitement of discovering a beautiful new dice set, finding just the right miniature for a character, or preparing for an evening of adventure with friends.
We also believe that how you treat people matters.
Our approach to business is pretty simple: offer an exciting variety of gaming products, treat customers with kindness and respect, and make shopping an enjoyable experience.
To us the little things matter. Whether it's taking the time to answer a question, carefully packing an order, or including a personally signed thank-you with every purchase, we want our customers to feel appreciated. We believe in being straightforward, helpful, and doing our best to make every order a positive experience.
We're not a giant corporation, and we don't aspire to be one. We're an independent family business that values the relationships we've built with fellow gamers over the years.
And after more than two decades, we're still excited about what we do.
The Stories We Build Together
One of the things we've always loved about tabletop gaming is how a handful of dice, a little imagination, and good friends can create unforgettable memories.
Will your brave adventurer defeat the evil ogre? Will a desperate persuasion roll convince the innkeeper to hide your companions from an angry mob?
(We did warn you not to steal that ancient relic!)
Some of our favorite gaming memories aren't about winning or losing. They're about the unexpected twists, the laughter around the table, and the stories we still tell years later.
That's why we love helping fellow gamers find dice that spark their imagination, make them smile, and become a small part of the adventures they share.
Your Adventure. Our Passion.
Whether you've been rolling dice for decades or you're just beginning your first campaign, we're glad you found us.
Explore our collections, discover something unexpected, and please feel free to contact us if there's anything we can help you with.
Most of all, thank you for supporting our small family business and allowing us to be a little part of your adventures.
Happy adventuring!
Your friends at Dark Elf Dice
