Fudge madness!

Yet another custom order from our 4dF fanatic, this time, quite an awesome unconventional idea ^^ Those, are two 9 sided dice, wich also work as fudge dice. The face ordering is as follows: 1       (blank) 3       | 8       + + 6       (blank) […]

Bipyramid D6

Some time ago, I showed a test prototype of this same die. Today, I give you the completed one. I agree that the die might benefit from bigger numbers, since there is plenty of area to do so. Unfortunately, numeric punches are not cheap, and a good set could have been easily, the cost of […]

Emergency dice business card

I sell all my dice through internet. That said, it is clear that I have no need for business cards. Anyhow, I have been two or three times in need of such item, just to publicize a bit. Being the creative type, I’d love to do a super fancy card, but that is really expensive, […]

Laser stories (1/3)

In this series of three weekly posts, I’ll show you how the laser engraver grows from its components up to a working machine ^^. The first post in the series, is just a mockup of the machine with some parts already glued on, no electronics and no connections.  It already looks promising. External components: Main […]

Multithemed die. A_custom order history

Some time ago, Martin, from Engine Publishing, contacted me about making some custom dice (what else!? ^^ ) for a contest thei’ll be running in a near future. We went from a company specific design, to a more generic themed dice, in a couple brainstorming emails. Now that it is finished, I caught him saying […]

External dice review

Today, Richard McLean (one of the winners at the “Review our dice” contest), sent me a link to his blog, where he did an extensive review of a Gearwheel and a Halo die. Dice review Pic: Richard McLean’s review image excerpt.

More dice crossbreeding

Today what I was really doing was prototyping a small metal D3 that has been on my ideas buffer for a long time. From 5 sides up, all my metal barrel dice have a size and mass that feels “ok” in the hand, but the D3 might feel a bit clumsy for some. I did […]

Making of: Watchmen dice

Or: Why are they so damn expensive. In one word: Difficulty More in depth, it means that unlike the other dice, the metal pieces themselves have finer detail. Here you can see failed and valid a acid masks, done for a Nite Owl die. Observe how  the apertures are really closed. The mask has almost […]

Watchmen Dice: NiteOwl II, the Owlship

“Created like a batman of the cold war, Daniel dreiberg is a now retired (and out of shape) masked vigilante who uses owl themed gadgets to protect the streets”. While thinking about Nite Owl die, I reviewed what I could select as symbol for him. Albeit the costume was appealing, my inner tech lover drifted […]

Simon’s Cat Challenge! (Ended, No winners)

Yesterday, while watching the short animation “Snow Business“, this weird idea came to my mind. What is it? The idea is to come into contact with Simon Tofield, with some way to verify his identity. Wich is the outcome? Should he contact Dicecreator by any means, I’ll send him for free (postage included) a dice […]
