DT-6000
Created & Donated by Brendan Tang
Forged in the most East of Vancouver, fashioned from refined Bone white Clay and hand crafted using the ways of the ancient ones, this device can withstand the collisions of Multiverses and the bending of Space Time. Designed and executed by Canada’s own amateur alchemist and Master of Fine Art, Brendan Tang. We are so proud to present The DT-6000! It collides Heavens and controls the fates. Unleashing the raw power once found only in pimped out DeLoreans and Police Boxes, the DT-6000 transcribes 4th dimensional space and quantum algorithms into single or double digits, that can send its user into fits of agony, or blissful ecstasy. Create Chaos and Embrace Entropy with your very own DT-6000 today! (does not include dice).
This exquisite dice tower is crafted from clay, with foam inserts to move the dice gently but powerfully through its innards and onto the felt lined tray where the DT-6000’s numeric decrees are made known. It stands 9″ tall by 5″ wide at its top and 7″ long at the foot.
