Q-Workshop: The Witcher – Crones (Brewess)

The Witcher Dice Set. Crones – Brewess

In Crookback Bog, where the twisted tree branches were veiled in noxious fumes rising from a dangerous swamp, three ladies of the wood ruled over everything and everyone with their dark magic. One of them, a nightmarish hag known as Brewess, was infamous for her mastery of brewing vile concoctions. It was whispered that she had knowledge of over a dozen different recipes for brewing gruesome human stews. Of the three demonic sisters, Brewess was neither youngest nor eldest — but she certainly reigned supreme in sheer size and malevolence.

Gathering inspiration from The Witcher franchise, we created 7 polyhedral dice and a metal coin; this set brings to life the gruesome aura of Brewess’ dark magic. Each dice carries sandy engravings accompanied by ghastly runes on a coral-red background; the highest value faces, and the coin’s reverse, bear the haunting imagery of the ominous crones’ sigil. The coin’s obverse depicts the grotesque visage of the three sisters.

The Witcher is more than a profession or a single character. The Witcher is an entire universe created thanks to the stories of Andrzej Sapkowski, in which choices and motives are never simply black and white. Colorful, full of unique charm, rich in non-standard phenomena, and described with lingual artistry, it later became the basis for video games, comic books, tabletop RPGs, as well as movies and TV series. If you know The Witcher from any of these sources, you know how enthralling this universe is. For us — people who grew up with the stories from the world of The Witcher — the possibility to create dice based on its famous and beloved characters is an honor. We have taken our time to carefully consider all the possibilities of both designs and color themes — now visible to you in the form of the final product. These dice are born from passion, and we’re proud that the person to receive them is someone who can appreciate them as much as we do… That someone being you…
