Get a head start on next year’s Christmas shopping at Eric C. Harshbarger’s site. All kinds of goodies for the game and puzzle-loving fan there, not least of which are his Twelve Days of Christmas 12-sided dice —

This was a set of dice I had wanted to do for a long time, but I was never sure if I could make detailed enough artwork. Well, I finally got around to creating some images, and yes, the designs came out fantastic. I’m not exactly sure why you need a twelve-sided die with “… 8 maids-a-milking, 7 swans-a-swimming, 6 geese-a-laying…” and so forth; but if you do, I’ve got one for you.

Harshbarger based his designs for the images on artwork originally done by Xavier Romero-Frias under Creative Commons license.
