These containers can range from small, thematic cages to quirky, decorative boxes, and they act as both a lighthearted in-game punishment and a conversation piece at the gaming table. Look, it doesn’t happen often, but sometimes a die goes gang busters. It rolls high almost all the time or it at least gives me an 18, 19, or 20 for every 1, 2, or 3 and you know what? I can live with that. Ironically enough my best die, the one that always rolls “all or nothing” looks a lot like the one in the dunce cap in the picture below. Dice jails are more about fun and camaraderie than a guaranteed fix for your dice-rolling misfortunes. In the world of Dungeons & Dragons, and tabletop gaming in general, players often develop playful superstitions and rituals. One of these is the notion that banishing your dice to a dice jail for a time and then granting them parole might lead to better rolls.

I love the fact this one comes with a dragon warden just making sure every errant dice knows its place, and the extra space is great…though last time I went to put in a d20 there were already multiple d10s from the last Warhammer 40K game reminding me that I can poison any RNG with dice.

A dice jail is a curious concept that serves as a playful, yet symbolic, form of discipline for troublesome dice. Essentially, it's a designated container, holder, or area where you place your polyhedral dice that have consistently rolled poor results or have failed your character at crucial moments. If you like the combination of actual small metal bars with a good design that looks great when created with quality resin. 3-D Printed D&D Dice Jail Thingiverse has another great 3-D printer design for a D&D dice jail, this one that includes the stylized “&” symbol that is synonymous with D&D players. You will want to make sure the resin you use is more solid, less flexible, as you are creating a mini structure versus a mini, and the design is solid.

But for those that want a really cool-looking container that can hold a ton of dice with no issue, this is for you.
