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.

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)...
Tim
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!

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. :)

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.

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 ;-)

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.

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.
Myfly |
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?

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.

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.

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

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 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.

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:

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)

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
