Idea: Why there was no plunder die in the game box?

Black die is cool... Matching the same blue color is almost impossible...
I asked Qworkshop for ONE customized die... The costs would be 60 Euro... PAIN!!!

Sovereign Court

I personally prefer the scroll, but of those three I like open4 (3 is a black box for me)

The third and sixth images in your vector image link are black boxes as well. Should one of those be a question mark or something?

The color is less important to me than the images looking nice, so you guys can vote on that one.

Myfly, can you send me the link to the company you found to order the dice from, so that I can look around their website a bit?

Mike,
It would be 7 total dice, for $49 plus shipping ($15 cheapest service we offer), so $63 total bill.
Just let me know.

Oh, and I haven't said it so -- I'm in.

Right-click and click "View Original"... I think that one has a see-through background and for some reason Dropbox is putting it on a black background, which means you can't see it.


I would in general keep the image/symbols as simple as possible.
So just the outlines of the symbol filled with white, so we do not get any
Etching resolution problems. I do not know how much detail they could etch...

So for the item, just the outline of a flask of a potion, i would recommend...

So simple symbol, easy to recognize, no detail....

What do you think?

I can't view dropbox at work, but as long as the images seem agreeable to everyone else I would be in.

Sounds like ~$10 each ($7 per die plus shipping to cartmanbeck and shipping to us)...

I'm in the same boat--can't access the images, but I trust everyone else's judgment and I'm in for one as well!

Silver Crusade RPG Superstar 2014 Top 16

If you look at their examples, I don't have any doubt that they can make much more detailed images than what I'm proposing be used. I agree that simpler is better but we also don't want the symbols to be unrecognizable.

I e-mailed the company to get the ball rolling, so we'll see what they say about the images and how easy it would be to put them on there. I think this will work out very well. :)


Sword/weapon pic is vertical sword. May be diagonal would look better, so handshaft lower left and sharp blade end upper right corner.

The question mark from the original Pathfinder font?

Silver Crusade RPG Superstar 2014 Top 16

I don't have access to that font, and I'm pretty sure it won't be free to use, so that's probably not an option.

I looked for swords that were diagonal, but they were all too detailed. This one is a simple one that should etch well.


Here is my proposal for the symbols on the plunder die...

Simplistic, no details, easy identifiable on any die rotation, black die & white symbol, good contrast for easy recognition, cool, love it :-)

Go to PREMIUM Plunder Die proposal.

What do you think?

Edit: the item flask, just a circle with a narrow STRAiGHT bottleneck.

Silver Crusade RPG Superstar 2014 Top 16

Myfly, those are great if you can find someone to make them for us in a vector program. I don't have the skills to do so, which is why I was trying to find some that would work well using free vector databases.


1 person marked this as a favorite.

cartmanbeck,
it is done. I created the vector-based symbols myself.

how about two PREMIUM plunder dice free of charge for me ;-)

Go to Design of fan-based PREMIUM PLUNDER DIE for Skull&Shackles .

do you like it ?

Sovereign Court

Assuming we are legally allowed to use those images, they look great MyFly.


We are discussing it in the Paizo forum, so if there would be some concerns, i would assume that Vic would say something about it.

On my "PREMIUM plunder die" there are no Pathfinder symbols or anything from the community use package. Even there is no font for the question mark. I have drawn all symbols on the dice in a vector programme FREEHAND based on my handdrawings as you could see on the above image on the right lower side.

This would be a PACG community project. I had the idea plus my design & Cartmanbeck is USA-based and will do the distribution. I would like to get two dice. One for game play and one for collection. May be for my work & idea, these two dice are free of charge depending on how many followers we find in the forum here.

So for me the dice are personal use only.

Sovereign Court

I didn't mean from Paizo, I meant if you got the images from somewhere else. However you made them yourself, so you're fine.

If this goes through, I look forward to the final product.

Silver Crusade RPG Superstar 2014 Top 16

Those look excellent, Myfly! If you can send me high-resolution versions of those, I'll e-mail them to the company and we'll get started. Can you send them to me at cartmanbeck@gmail.com please? :)

The guy actually got back to me saying that ordering 20 of these dice gives you a discount, so I might end up doing that and then have extras for when people ask "ooh, where did you get those?" LOL.


I'll buy one of these. Thanks for organizing this.


I contacted you and the company via email.

As you do not know any file requirements, minimum line size for optimal etching, parameters, file format etc.
I will discuss this technical issues with the shop owner directly, this is faster and more effective. He will ship the dice to your hands then ...

Sovereign Court

Well if we get a discount for doing 20+, count me in for 4. 1 for each of the 3 in my group who has the game, and the extra (plus any my group doesn't want) for anyone who comments they like it in OP.


What we could do is that
- cartmanbeck will provide the dice overseas (USA)...
- and I could do Europe (Germany, etc.) ...
so we have to know from you quantity and where you live ...
this will be the most economical solution for everybody.

May be we should wait with the die order a few days until we know how many we should order... what do you think ? The higher the number of interested gamers the higher will be the discount.

What do you think?

--------------------------------------
For info how the die will hopefully look like

Go to Design of PREMIUM plunder die .


COOL IDEA also, when you are asked to stash 4 plunder cards, why not to roll 4 plunder dice at once ;-)
In this way, we will get more discount ;-)

Sovereign Court

Well yea, I don't think anyone was saying to order them right this instant. Take orders through the end of the year, and then make the bulk order.


Of the icons posted, I like the ones from Cartmanbeck's dropbox, with the Open3.png one to represent spells.

Silver Crusade RPG Superstar 2014 Top 16

Ok guys, here is my plan. Once we get the design finalized with the company, I will put in an order for 20 dice. They will be shipped to my house here in the USA. Then I'll distribute dice to the US and Canada from here. I'll send Myfly all the dice that are to be distributed in Europe, and he can send them out from there. Does that all sound reasonable?

I'm going to start a sign-up sheet for those who want one of these dice. Please go here and fill out the information. You do NOT need to put your full name if you don't want to, but you need to put your forum handle, your e-mail address, and what country you are from.

Plunder dice order sheet


I can view the spreadsheet, but I can't edit it. Any suggestions?


Great IDEA, cartmanbeck!

I don't know how many people care about it, but you could make a google form out of it so people's information isn't exposed to the pulbic. Might get more takers.

Silver Crusade RPG Superstar 2014 Top 16

Good call. Ignore the earlier spreadsheet link, and please fill out this Google Form instead.
Plunder Dice Order Form


Instead of filling out cartmanbeck order sheet, You could also send an email to BOTH below email-adresses if you dont want your order to be public

Playmat@gmx.net
Cartmanbeck@gmail.com

Please send to BOTH addresses the following information:
First name, Last name, your paypal-address, Europe or USA, dice quantity

Once we know the total dice quantity we ask the manufacturer for the final die price,
Europe will be more expensive due to possible import tax, VAT 20%..
Now the price for minimum quantity is, as given in this thread, 7USD for plain production cost.

Silver Crusade RPG Superstar 2014 Top 16

I'd also like to point out that for right now, we should limit this to one dice per person until we figure out how many people want to go in on this. If we only get 12 people ordering dice, then some of those 12 could get more than 1, because I do plan to order a minimum of 20. If we get 20 or more people interested, we might have to limit each person to 1. Remember that this has to stay as a community project... no large-scale production, and no one can profit or this becomes a much different enterprise.


Got it. Just for personal use as I wrote prior. So if someone would order 20, he will not play with all of these assumable.

What is the highest stash plunder quantity so far in the game?
Just that i am curious how many dice are required max in one die roll...

--------------------------------------------------

Go to PREMIUM PLUNDER DIE..

Regarding the "spell" symbol I flipped the white and black pages... Left is black and right is white. It looks better for right handed people.


I suspect that the most you would need would be 11 for a maxed out Ranzak encountering Goblin Keelhaulin'

Silver Crusade RPG Superstar 2014 Top 16

11 would definitely be too many to reasonably do. Let's see how many people suggest that they might want more than one dice, and how many total we're going to need to order to fulfill 1 per person.


I can here from the BGG forums. This sounds great and I would really like to get one. I filled out the form and stated I would like more than one. Really I just want two, so I can give the other one to a friend.

Welcome to Paizo's forum.

Here we often discuss new ideas. One of these is now realized.
Good you found the right way and thread for the plunder die.

Go to PREMIUM PLUNDER Die.


Filled out the forms, these look awesome


DESIGN UPDATE
==============

As already mentioned before, the page color of the spell book symbol were flipped and the outlines of the symbols were adjusted. Additionally, further design changes of the background parchment image to make it more jaw dropping.

Here it is:

Go to PREMIUM PLUNDER DIE update.

Please share this PNG-image with your PACG-friends.

Myfly.


UPDATE 2
===========
NOW it is a perfect image:

Go to PREMIUM Plunder Die - UPDATE 2 - FINAL .


Wow, you guys have been busy.

Getting the blues to match is a good point, black sounds good.

Of Cartmanbeck's suggestions, I actually prefer the scroll, but like image3 best afterwords. Myfly's images are fine with me.

The Google docs form doesn't work for me. What alternate should I use? (I'm in 'Merica)

Silver Crusade RPG Superstar 2014 Top 16

If the google form won't work for you, feel free to email me at cartmanbeck@gmail.com with the following information, and I'll add you to the list manually:
Name:
E-mail address:
Country:
Paizo.com forum handle:
Would you be interested in multiple dice? Yes or No.

Would someone mind hosting the images and sharing them on here? I can't view BGG at work.

Cool?

Silver Crusade RPG Superstar 2014 Top 16

Ok so I think we should give people the rest of December to put in their orders. Right after I return from New Year's break, I'll e-mail each of the people on the list and ask them how many dice they want for $8 each. They can then PayPal me the amount. I think we should be able to support as many as 5 dice per person, if they so desire that many. I personally just want 1 for myself.

As a reminder, here's the link to the Google Form: Plunder Dice order form


This will be hopefully be my first generated thread which breaks the 100 message barrier....
