Chessex Manufacturing is an American company that sells dice, primarily for the role-playing game (RPG) and collectible card game (CCG) market. It also offers other accessories used in RPGs and CCGs.[2] The company also has a Chessex Europe branch office.[3]

Chessex was also a distributor and publisher of tabletop games—RPGs, CCG, miniature wargames, board games, and related merchandise—until October 1998 when they merged distribution with The Armory to form Alliance Game Distributors.[4]
