Save big with the Baron of Dice sale while 10% of sale proceeds go to Operation Tabletop, supporting veterans through gaming, community, and connection.
Got some dice sitting in your cart? Well, now you’ve got a pretty solid reason to finally check out. The discount code SAVINGTHROW gets you 10% off sitewide and helps the cause at the same time.
The discount’s only part of it, though, because Baron of Dice is giving 10% of the campaign’s proceeds to Operation Tabletop, a 501(c)(3) focused on veteran suicide prevention, and they’re running the whole thing during National Suicide Prevention Awareness Month.
Whenever a charity gets tied to a sale, we want to know what the charity is actually getting. We’ve all seen brands slap a cause onto a promo without saying much about the money. Well, the Baron of Dice put a minimum donation on it, in writing, before the sale even started.
- Minimum Donation: Baron of Dice owes Operation Tabletop $1,000 before the week even opens, a commitment you don’t see written into most charity sales.
- The campaign: code SAVINGTHROW takes 10% off sitewide from September 21 through 27, and 10% of the week’s proceeds goes to the nonprofit on top of that guaranteed minimum.
- Why the floor matters: once hobbyists start expecting a guaranteed minimum, “percentage of proceeds” gets a whole lot harder to leave vague.
Baron Put a Guarantee On This Before A Single Order Ships
Every qualifying purchase from this article helps Spikey Bits keep the lights on and the fun going.
Baron of Dice has pledged a minimum donation of $1,000 no matter what the week’s sales actually bring in.
Sure, 10% of proceeds sounds bigger on the promo. But what does that actually turn into at the end? Anyone can post a sale, run it for a week, and then the promo disappears. Whether that 10% became four thousand dollars or forty is usually something shoppers never find out.
The $1,000 minimum tells you at least what Operation Tabletop is getting before a single order comes in. Plus, if the week does better, Operation Tabletop gets more.
Operation Tabletop Is Not Actually In The Gaming Business
Seth Ewing founded Operation Tabletop in 2023 to work with veterans and active-duty service members, but the games themselves aren’t really the point. They’re the excuse to get people into the same room and give them a reason to come back next week.
Think about what a regular game night actually does for everyone. There’s some structure in the week, something creative to mess with, and a standing reason to be somewhere with other people. Nobody puts “stop being isolated” on the calendar, but they might put “Thursday game night” on there every week.
Most hobbyists probably know somebody who drifted away from a group and just stopped turning up. Maybe nobody called because everybody figured somebody else already had. We argue about plenty of nonsense, but hobbyists can be pretty good at showing up when somebody needs them.
Five Years of Building Around Games Fits Great
Operation Tabletop started somewhere much more personal than a nonprofit campaign. Seth Ewing lost his brother in 2017, and the organization grew out of that experience, built around giving veterans one more place to turn before isolation hardens into a crisis. The group’s shorthand for the whole idea is “no one rolls alone.”
Baron of Dice, meanwhile, has spent five years making dice for specific factions and specific chapters, so its whole business already revolves around people playing games with each other. Founder Steven Long called supporting Operation Tabletop one of the easiest decisions he’s made running the company. Considering his whole business depends on people getting together around tables to play games, yeah, fair enough.
He also said it’ll spend the week putting Operation Tabletop in front of more hobbyists too which gives the nonprofit another week of visibility with people who may never have heard of it.
Final Thoughts on Operation Tabletop and The Empty Seat
Hopefully the sale got your attention, but you can still do something useful here without buying another set of dice.
If somebody dropped out of your group over the last year and nobody ever really followed up, send the text. Becasue maybe everybody figured somebody else already had. A gaming group only works if somebody notices when a regular stops showing up.
