Obsidian Steel Dice Set

Because these aerospace-grade obsidian steel dice are exceptionally heavy, they will absolutely dent or scratch a wooden table if rolled directly. You should use a thick dice tray, like a padded wooden one, to protect your playing surface during your tabletop campaigns. The solid weight provides a satisfying thunk, but it requires a protective rolling surface.

Most matte black metal dice, including obsidian steel sets, feature etched numbers that are painted white or silver to create a high contrast. This ensures the numbers pop against the dark, anti-fingerprint finish. If the paint wears off over time, many players use a fine-point crayon or acrylic paint to fill in the etchings themselves.

Metal dice often have a more uniform density than cheap plastic sets, but their heaviness means they bounce less when rolled. This lack of bouncing means you need a larger tower or tray to ensure proper randomization for your RPG stats. The aerospace-grade steel construction gives them a premium feel, but you still need to shake them thoroughly before rolling.

You should wipe your metal dice with a soft, dry microfiber cloth after playing to remove oils from your hands. If they get dirty, you can wash them with mild soap and water, but you must dry them immediately to prevent rust or tarnishing. The matte finish on obsidian steel dice is designed to resist fingerprints, making them easier to maintain than polished metals.
