Our Story

It started with a campaign
and an MBA.

We met in Toronto during our MBA — a bond cemented not just by shared projects, but by a shared love of Dungeons & Dragons. It became the game that connected us and the creative outlet that kept us inspired.

Why We Made It

The dice sets
of our dreams.

Dice Pantheon is the intersection of our professional expertise and our personal obsession — made to elevate the experience every time we play.

A hero is an adventurer who gains power through perseverance, their spirit defined by their party, their deeds and their class. So we built a die for each one, and let the metal carry the meaning. Seven finishing processes in all, from multi-colour electroplating to industrial chemical bluing to forced antique patinas — each chosen for what it says about the class that carries it.

Mandana

Over ten years in R&D and architecture. Brings an obsession with structure and material science, ensuring every die is a precision-engineered instrument rather than a novelty.

C

Catherine

A decade of expertise in operations. Makes certain every detail — from the weight in your hand to the case it arrives in — is seamless.

How They're Made

Cut from solid.

Each die starts as a bar of metal and is cut away until only the die remains — multi-axis milling under coolant, then a finishing process chosen for its class. Seven processes, fifteen dice, no shortcuts.

The Difference

Machined, never cast.

Most metal dice are poured from a single uniform alloy, cooled, tumbled and called finished. Casting is fast and cheap, and it gives every die in the set the same density, the same colour and the same feel.

Machining lets us choose a different metal for every die — and a different finish for every class. It costs more and takes longer. It is the entire reason the set feels the way it does.
