I've been hefting a wooden octagonal dice tray around with me for years and while I do like it, it does not fit well with my standard travel gear. This tray on the other hand folds flat and easily fits into my game bag or even a pocket folder. The two-ply faux-leather is cushion enough to prevent damage to the table-top if you like to use heavy metal or stone dice. The side panels are high enough that your dice should remain contained unless you are an overly-excited roller. If I had any complaint, it would be that I worry about the longevity of the snaps. Any snap no matter how well constructed wears out over time. So some-day, I'll need to replace this tray. As long as that is well into the future, it'll be worth it. My current tray has lasted me nearly ten years so this one has some large shoes to fill.
If you’ve used the Pathfinder Dice Tray before, you’ll be instantly familiar with the Starfinder version as it’s exactly the same apart from the color and logo. If you haven’t, I’ll quickly recap the features: this is a pleather collapsible tray about the size of an A4 sheet of paper. It stores flat and then snaps together at the corners to make a dice tray that fits nicely on the table with room for your extra dice. It’s not fancy, but I’ve used this one for a couple of dozen sessions and it’s held up well with no visible signs of wear and tear. And, unless I fumble my Dexterity ability check, the dice stay in the tray. Apparently, collapsible trays like this in various sizes are commonly used by business travellers for keeping keys and wallets in one place in their hotel rooms, so you can find cheaper, unbranded versions online elsewhere. But then, how will people know you’re a Starfinder nerd?
