Trying to figure out a new social network is always a bit tricky but I'm sure I'll get the hang of it!
So: Hi, I'm Goblin's Hoard and I make dice by hand ☺️

#dice #DiceMaker #dnd #dnddice #dicemaki #ttrpg #handmade #epoxy #dicemaking #fantasy

@goblinshoard Welcome, I’m new here too
@girlispoison thank you! And welcome to you too in this case :)

@goblinshoard followed! And welcome 😁

Make a point of always adding alt text to your pictures and you will get a lot more reach over here. Plenty of dice goblins at Mastodon. Many at the #TTRPG instance, dice.camp

@carbonara oh thank you for the pointer! Will make sure to do that in the future ☺️

@goblinshoard Welcome!

Btw, I was just poking around your website - in case you didn't know, the bottom-left-bar links seem to be broken, they all just point to the squarespace website. :)

@JubalBarca oh wow, great catch! Thank you so much, will change that asap ^^
@goblinshoard welcome to the Mastodon dice bubble 😊
@skyr thank you so much ☺️💕
@goblinshoard Welcome! ✨
@Fateseekerdice thank you! It was actually recently seeing that you were on Mastodon that inspired me to join 😁

@goblinshoard

Welcome * covets dice mightily *

@goblinshoard Beautiful! And welcome!

Making a custom dice set is still on my bucket list for this year 😊

@foosel thank you so much! And I hope you get to tick it off your list ☺️

@goblinshoard Those dice are beautiful 😍

And welcome 🙂

@goblinshoard Welcome! You’re on a roll
@FeloniousPunk thank you! Yeah it's been a super warm welcome ☺️
@goblinshoard Hi! If you use the metadata fields in your profile instead of the bio text box, your store and patreon links will be click-able! https://docs.joinmastodon.org/user/profile/#fields

@janeadams oh thank you so much for the tip! I'll add that :)
@janeadams @goblinshoard It's also how we do "verification"
@clayote @janeadams yeah I'm currently still trying to figure that one out ^^ I've put a rel=me on my website but I don't know yet if Mastodon is able to pick it up.. :)
@goblinshoard @janeadams You can delete / save profile / re-add the url / save again if you want to force a refresh
@goblinshoard wow, those are gorgeous!

@goblinshoard Amazing! Dropped you a follow.

Do you do casino-style dice only...prettier?

@ApostateEnglishman Thank you so much! I mostly create dice for tabletop games (hence the different shapes) but I occasionally also create D6 sets, yeah :)
@goblinshoard I can't currently afford to commission you, but as a magician who often does gambling demonstrations, I'd love to have a set of D6s that would make fellow practitioners go, "okay those dice. Where did you get them? I need to know immediately." 😆
@ApostateEnglishman that would be so cool to imagine my dice being used for that! 😍 I would be happy to create something for you when the time is right or otherwise keep an eye on my shop, I do add D6 on their own from time to time :)

@goblinshoard welcome!

Using Alt Text will both increase your boosts & make your posts more accessible for folk who use screen readers!

For this, I'd use something like: "A set of 8 D&D dice in a human hand. The dice look like a cloudy sky with sparkly lines."

@RamenCatholic thank you for the tip! I've already added alt text and it shows for me, does it not for you?
@goblinshoard it's not showing for me, on the official Mastodon app. Maybe someone else from another app can see?
@RamenCatholic interesting! I'm also on the official app (I think) 🙈 but in the future I'll add the alt text from the get go so it will hopefully be visible for everybody

@goblinshoard Welcome, friend!

I don’t know who you are, but you’ve come to the right place 🤗

@goblinshoard
#Welcome !

You are going to love it here! Some great hashtags mentioned down-thread that are worth following.

And if it's not among them, also follow @FediTips to learn how this all works - they help out a lot!

@bytebro @FediTips thank you so much! I'll check it out :)
@goblinshoard Welcome! Keep in mind that there is no algorithm here. You'll have to build up your own network of accounts you wish to follow and, by interaction with their toots, get others to follow you over time. Love the dice, by the way. :)
@RandamuMaki yeah, I actually like that aspect a lot! And thank you :)
@goblinshoard that's exactly the kind of post that's gonna get you like a million instant friends here 😁
@rothko apparently ^^ It's been a very lovely surprise to be welcomed so warmly ☺️

@goblinshoard

Hey Goblin, welcome 👋

There are a lot of TTRPG people on here so I think you're in the right place 🙂

Feel free to ask if you want help with anything on here.

There is also lots of help for new people on the website at https://fedi.tips (especially the section at the top marked Quick Start).

An unofficial guide to using Mastodon and the Fediverse

@FediTips thank you so much! I'll be sure to check those out :) and yeah, so far it feels very much like my crowd ☺️
@goblinshoard chonk spindown d20s and you take commissions? I have visited every dice seller at more than one con looking for a thing such as this.
@instantiatethis omg yayy, someone else who likes spindowns! 😍 Honestly me adding them to my inventory was purely driven out of me wanting pretty spindowns for myself ^^
There will be quite a few of them coming to the shop soon, but I'm of course also always happy to create commissions :)
(for single dice commissions feel free to always reach out even if my profile states my commissions are closed, these I can always make room for ☺️)
