Now available!
As pointed out before, Wizards are still missing from the Class Decks download. Are you able to fix this?
Many thanks for the download.

a pair of percentile die would be rather spectacular. In time I'll do a full set, which I'll make available individually, I'll post on the messageboards as I complete them. Thanks for looking.
Hi all, Here’s another shameless plug of my wares that hopefully a few of you will be interested in. I’ve designed a new metal dice (available through Shapeways) inspired by the works of H P Lovecraft, specifically the nightmarish creature Cthulhu. I’d appreciate any feedback or questions from you guys. Enjoy,
Hi gamers, due to popular demand my Celtic themed metal dice are now available in plastic, designed with a solid core to give them as much weight as possible. Celtic Dice Set in plastic. Thanks for looking, Sim
There’s a 4 day offer on at shapeways, so if anyone hasn’t ordered any dice yet or wants to add to the ones they have already, now’s a good time to do it. $15 off any order of $100 or more with the code ‘s1e5s’ at the checkout. This is probably the last offer before Christmas.
Thanks, I had a set printed in Alumide (similar weight and feel to plastic) but they were too light and fragile to be effective as dice. I may do a solid version in the same design to be printed in plastic.
Have you looked into doing the other style of dice, the ones that don't make a D4 into a lethal caltrop? I know what you mean, my 3D render of the D4 looks particularly dangerous but these dice are no more lethal than plastic (except to werewolves, some undead, windows and tables), and I can honestly say in all my 30 years table top gaming I’ve never sustained a dice related injury. Also, I’m not a big fan of Crystal Caste dice, I think THIS is a more elegant solution.
Laithoron: As requested, I've provided a 00-90 percentile die. Haven't got a photo yet but it will look like the rest when printed. Also, all dice in the set uploaded separately. These can be made in silver or brass using a different process which allows for greater detail, unfortunately these do cost quite a bit to manufacture (I only make a small amount from each sale).
Balancing… I start with a mathematically accurate polyhedron, I then take one side and craft the design into it, then copy it to all the other sides, so at this point each dice is balanced, then I add the numbers to the same position on each face and, because this is a digital model, I remove each side with its number in place and find out the volume, I then add extra volume to the inside of a face until opposing sides measure the same. But consider a standard die; nobody really questions the balance although you would expect it to be unbalanced due to the recesses created by the numbers being different sizes. Percentile D10… I will do one soon. My reason for not doing one in the set was to keep the cost of a set down. It will be added as a standalone die for anyone wishing to add it to the set. Alternatively a separate D10 could be ordered in a different material, so both D10s could be rolled together once you nominate which is tens and which is units. Thanks for the feedback, please spread the word. If these are successful I’ll design more dice.
They are the default stainless steel. They infuse with bronze for strength which can give a slight golden tint. Scale wise, the D20 is about 2cm/0.7inch pretty much standard gaming dice size.
Thanks for the compliment; the dice photographed are made in stainless steel. Because they are printed from digital models, they are very accurate and as such are completely flush and balanced on each side. They have a good weight to them also.
Hi, this a shameless ad for the metal dice I've just made available on Shapeways (the 3D printing people). Now I know the subject is controversial, these table denting, window breaking objects of desire have divided a few gamers, but if rolled responsibly, can become the envy of all and you have to admit that vanquishing your enemies with a fist full of steel is hella-cool. Please take a look at the dice here. |
