Operational Brief // Origin Story
Bathyal Evolution
Founded by Natasha and Caleb, Bathyal Labs began in the 2020 lockdown as ShyGuy Dice. What started as a home workshop obsession with resin chemistry and mold-making quickly evolved into a full-scale engineering house.
A Message From The Lab
At the end of the day, we’re just makers who love the craft. We take our years of expertise from the film industry and channel it directly into our dice and tools—creating everything from one-of-a-kind artisan sets to the technical gear that helps other artists succeed.
• For our fellow makers: If you are a small business looking for precision Master Dice, we can engineer them for you with the same cinematic detail used for the big screen.
• For the gamers: If you’re searching for that Perfect Set to tell your character's story, we’re ready to build it.
Maybe you're looking for a specific tool or a unique tabletop item and you just can't find it anywhere else? Commission it with us. We love bringing impossible ideas to life.
Drop us a line—let’s build something wonderful together.
