Nerdarchist Dave

Saw this Twinkling Stars Skirt and immediately knew my lady would love it and I’d love to see her in it.

You can set the lights to off (or wear it without the battery pack), and you’ll have a stellar ombre skirt featuring an actual star chart sure to spark conversation.

But the real magic happens when you set the lights to On or Twinkle. Over 45 feet of LED wire lights sparkle inside the layers, looking like little fairy lights shining through the fabric.

 

Nerdarchist Ted

It is a d20 shaped gamers pouch. I would love one.

This d20 is actually a pouch that can hold up to 3 complete sets of dice – or your change or other small trinkets if you don’t need another dice bag.

It’s handmade from red or black leather that’s been hand-dyed and then stitched together using waxed leather thread. It’s basically leather armor for your dice, because we understand how important they are to you.

My boys love Star Wars and they bang into things when they get up at night.

I have a paper lantern that I use as a night light for them currently but this is absolutely a need to get upgraded as far as I am concerned.

That’s no moon! It’s your very own Death Star Paper Lantern Floor Lamp, ready to be placed wherever you need just a bit more miniature planet destruction.

Autumn is coming up, which means layered hoodies and flannel. Squee!

Geek and Sundry’s Shield of Tomorrow and Modiphius’ Star Trek Adventures got me on a big Star Trek kick lately.

And since, as we all know, TOS is the best and Captain Kirk is the unequaled among captains, I’m all about the command yellow Star Trek The Original Series Uniform Hoodie.

Sometimes a feeling is all we humans have to go on, after all.

I bought this Squishy 7pc Polyhedral Dice Set for my daughter when she was first born and they became much more than just baby toys. See, when she was first learning manual dexterity, she used the dice to figure things out with multiple shapes. She loved to bounce and play with them. Thing is, as soon as she was old enough, they became an item of learning. From learning to recognize numbers rolled, to addition and subtraction, these dice are part of the reason my daughter is ahead of the game in learning. Like flashcards with a truly random draw every time. Plus, they are just plain cute to watch my daughter play with.

I’ve made a lot of purchases from ThinkGeek over the years. Perhaps more than I should’ve, and the Adventurer’s Leather Backpack of Holding is one of my favorites.

It’s the perfect size for my D&D books, which fit exactly as they should, and can legitimately hold five core books, my 13″ MacBook Pro, and my iPad Pro in the main pouch, plus it has pockets perfect for notepads, pens, dice, minis, and more.

It’s perfect for any adventurer, and it’s comfortable enough for average wear.

I’ve had the pleasure of trying one of these Star Trek TNG Bluetooth ComBadges out. As both a fan of Star Trek and frequent user of hands-free calling, the com badge is high on my wishlist.

Once connected, one touch answers/ends calls, plays/pauses audio, or accesses Siri, Google Now, or Cortana. And, of course, a touch plays that classic communicator sound effect. Warning: you’re going to want to keep the micro-USB charging cable handy right after you receive this, because making it chirp is well-nigh irresistible.

For Christmas last year (2016) my brother bought my children a fun little present from ThinkGeek. My boys received a remote controlled Special Edition BB-8 Sphero with Force Band. It was really cool. I downloaded the companion app to my iPad, from there I could control BB-8 with either touch or voice commands. It could even be set on an automated mode where it explored the house until it bumped into something, changed its directions and kept on rolling. Hours of fun were had as BB-8 chased the animals all over the place. Our dogs barked like mad and even tried to nip at it a few times. After they got over their initial fright the dogs seemed to have a lot of fun stalking BB-8 as it beeped and blurped its robotic concerns. The cats were far less amused. It seems Sphero has done it again. BB-8 can be found on ThinkGeek, now with a wrist mounted, voice activated remote. Coming from someone who has received this as a present, it makes a great gift for kids and Star Wars fans alike. Although not all animals may feel the same.

Save or Dice’s Jim Davis

A unique and stylish dice bag. Let your friends and teammates marvel as you disgorge your dice from their polyhedral mothership.

You’re used to grabbing your d20s for initiative, to-hit, and saving-throw rolls, but have you ever pulled your d20 out of a d20?

Save or Dice’s Jonathan Pruitt

Sure to be just the thing to finish a lively dinner with the crew.

Just to be safe, you should always bake your cookies before consuming them and then stash them away in this Alien Ovomorph Cookie Jar. It quietly menaces cookie-seekers from your kitchen counter. You know, they can sense suitable nearby prey. If you reach for a cookie and that facehugger curled up on the lid moves, you’d better run for it. Just don’t tell visitors who think you have a weird lookin’ avocado on your countertop. Survival of the fittest and all, you know.

Save or Dice’s Andrew Armstrong

I have SO many things that cause anxiety for me about being at conventions, but one area I don’t have to worry is keeping my stuff organized and safe with my bag of holding. Also, it looks pretty awesome.

ThinkGeek designed the Bag of Holding – Con Survival Edition with the busy convention attendee with a hectic schedule and a crowded hall in mind. Bonus: If you’re carrying a Con-Survival Edition bag at any convention where ThinkGeek has a booth, drop by for your free con-specific collectible patch!

Save or Dice’s Cody Lewis

My wife and I freaking love Bob’s Burgers. Coffee mug that we’ll actually USE daily and a fun little conversation started when we have friends over. Yes please.

Most mugs just hold liquid. Tea, coffee, maybe a little sneaky wine if you’re Linda Belcher (it’s okay – she doesn’t get drunk, she just has fun). But this Bob’s Burgers mug has a little something extra on the inside: a picture of Bob’s Burgers and its neighbors that wraps all the way around the interior!
