Expertise
'Expert skill or knowledge in a particular field'
We've spent countless hours here at RuneFable honing our craft and perfecting our signature technique. We bring our background in research to dicemaking and scientific approach to our techniques to ensure that when you buy RuneFable Dice you are getting something truly unique and expertly crafted.​​
Our Values
Empathy
'The ability to see things from another's perspective and feel their emotions'​
We believe that the world would be a better place if everyone practiced more empathy, and we aim to do this our own lives.
Empathy enables us to feel deeply what fictional characters are going through, connecting us deeply to the stories we tell together and the characters we love.
We hope to capture the places and people and emotions we connect with in our Dice.
Creativity
'The use of imagination or original ideas to create something'
Storytelling embodies creativity and is something people have been doing since we developed language, whether it's passing on lessons to others though metaphor, or reading an epic fantasy novel for pure enjoyment. It's this imagination and creativity that are a fundamental part of what makes us human, and stories bring out the best of our creativity.
​
We want to help you tell your stories by using our creativity to create Dice that capture your stories at your table.
Creating worlds
not destroying them
At RuneFable we believe it is our responsibility to try and be as environmentally conscious as we can. So we've put in extra effort to make our packaging as eco-friendly as possible!
Our packaging and paper filler are made from recycled post-consumer waste and are fully recyclable.​
The adhesive logo stickers on our packaging are even made of recycled paper that uses biodegradable eco-friendly adhesive, and are recyclable and compostable!
To mail your products, we use Jiffy Green postal bags that are 100% paper, which is ~65% recycled paper, and are recyclable and compostable!
Finally, we sometimes like to add a touch of embellishment to our packaging with some ribbon. We make sure to use ribbon diverted from landfill from our local scrap shop, so whilst it might not always be available, or the same colour, you can be sure it's as eco-conscious as everything else we use!

Our Materials
​​
RuneFable Dice are meant to be kept for a lifetime or longer, like Jewellery, and we hope you will keep your dice as prized possessions!
​
We use resin for our dice as other materials do not have the properties to allow us to capture the unique techniques and styles we use. Resin is non-biodegradable, and so we do our best to ensure that our resin is sourced responsibly.
​
The water-clear resin we use is non-toxic, uv stable, vegan-friendly, cruelty-free and is produced from by-products of the oil industry that would otherwise enter landfill. We also occaisionally use Jesmonite, a well known acrylic (water-based) eco-resin that does degrade naturally, for faux-stone style dice.
​
Changing resin is a tricky business as they all have different properties, but we are always researching various bio-resins that are made from plant and vegetable extracts in order to make informed decisions about the materials we use. Unfortunately the properties of these resins are not currently compatible with my signature technique, as they are often a much thinner resin and behave very differently.
​
We are always looking for greener alternatives to all our materials and will update this page when things change!
