Just to be clear... those d5, d7, d14 are really big, aren't they?Colin wrote:I've found out that if ordered in bulk, a complete matching set (d3, d4, d5, d6, d7, d8, d10, d%, d12, d14, d16, d20, d24, and d30, all in opaque white with black ink, and all of roughly similar size) would cost around $8.00 + P&P. The d3 is a d6 numbered 1-3 twice, the d5 is a d10 numbered 1-5 twice, and the d7 is a d14 numbered 1-7 twice.

Look at the "Who Knew?" sets HERE. The unusual dice are smaller than the koplow d30 (which you can see in the bag) and much closer to normal dice in size. If someone has a Koplow d30 and a normal set of dice, and can display a pic showing them next to each other, we'll have a clearer picture as to whether the dice are really big.cthulhudarren wrote:Just to be clear... those d5, d7, d14 are really big, aren't they?Colin wrote:I've found out that if ordered in bulk, a complete matching set (d3, d4, d5, d6, d7, d8, d10, d%, d12, d14, d16, d20, d24, and d30, all in opaque white with black ink, and all of roughly similar size) would cost around $8.00 + P&P.

My "Who Knew?" set (right, purchased at last years Gen Con for $7) compared to some of my GameScience funky dice (left), with some US quarters, my car keys, an Xbox 360 controller, a tape measure, and the Goodman Games 2012 Free Rpg day giveaway for reference.Colin wrote:Look at the "Who Knew?" sets HERE.

Feb 19 2013 update:We are already planning our next dice KickStarter for spring of next year to work on finishing a Dungeon Dice set. We've talked to Goodman Games and while we cannot license from them the name of their game official for the set ... they are interested in seeing the final set and possibly carrying them in the store.
So with that in mind ... what spherical dice are needed to complete the set and match up with the 8 colors we are producing. They are D3, D5, D16 and D24.
So that is going to be the focus of our next KickStarter to create sphericial versions of the last 3. The D3 is one that I'm not a fan of the designs I've seen and quite honestly I'm not sure there is a D3 design that I could offer that would really bring something new to the table. My preferred D3 is a D6 numbered 1,1,2,2,3,3 with opposing sides adding to 4. The problem is that its easy for this die to get lost in the mix. Our solution to this will be to create our D6 as a D3s in the matching 8 colors and then instead of white or black numbers all the D3s will have Gold numbers.
I've already been working on our next Dice KickStarter which will be to get funding to finish making the dice needed that would allow a person to have a full of Dungeon Crawl dice in matching opaque colors for the whole set. We received in several prototypes of the dice we are designing for this.
I wish I had gotten in on this one! I like those dice shapes and the sizes are normal.Rick wrote:Impact! Miniatures' plans for their next Kickstarter may be of interest to some of you:

Awesome news! I really hope that the d5 is a d10 numbered 1-5 twice, and the d7 is a d14 numbered 1-7 twice.impactminiatures wrote:Hi Colin,Colin wrote:What I'll do then is wait and see if the (hopefully forthcoming) Kickstarter presents folks with decent dice and value, and if not, go the route of the bulk order then.

We were able to talk to Mr. Goodman at Gen Con 2013 in August and we have tentative approval now to work on creating an official DCC dice set.
We are getting the quote request back from the manufacturer as we need to order about 100,000 dice in order to make a minimum order of these matched color sets in 8 different colors and reasonable sizes (the largest die is only 26mm diameter). The sets will be 14 dice sets and have in them (D3 (D6 numbered with roman numerals), D4, D5, D6, D7, D8, D10, D%10, D12, D14, D16, D20, D24 and D30).
We are even getting a quote if we overfund to be able to make the sets in translucent (ie gem) colors as well.
Current plan... we hope to launch the KickStarter to fund the sets in early January.
I've been very excited about getting this project to become a reality and look forward to announcing it early next year.
