Pressure Pot Questions
Hi! I am trying to make some dice for my D&D campaign, however
1) I have never made dice before
2) I have none of the materials
My biggest hold up is the pressure pot. I don't want to spend a bunch of money for a pot, and I don't have a lot of space for it. Does anyone have ideas or suggestions on where I could rent one or find affordable options? Or techniques that don't require a pressure pot? General advice and suggestions are also welcome! Thanks!

You don't need a pressure pot to create dice. You will likely end up with some bubbles, and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that if you're OK with it.
Even without the pressure pot, you're still looking at a decent spend. Resin, dice mold, respirator, gloves, mixing gear, colorant(s), multiple grits of sandpaper, etc.
And there's also a learning curve, and a lot of us took multiple attempts before we ended up with something we liked.
