Some interesting new dice-focused Kickstarters:
Cast Metal Gaming Dice (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/837745346/cast-metal-gaming-dice?ref=users)
(https://ksr-ugc.imgix.net/assets/005/178/372/ede57978caba189cb07e032ccb3f13ff_original.png?v=1452553264&w=680&fit=max&auto=format&lossless=true&s=ae2313e679473bbba9e40740a10e4647)
Ti Dice - Precision Machined & Perfectly Balanced (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/283431177/ti-dice-strength-of-the-titans-precision-of-the-go?ref=users)
(https://ksr-ugc.imgix.net/assets/005/243/542/96d353f51666add710787bef1380d90a_original.jpg?v=1453695139&w=680&fit=max&auto=format&q=92&s=b7ffcc02a2a3d9e0c157a43d13468061)

Darn you (https://youtu.be/2Dvggfv3T7c)! <sigh>
Why are dice so shiny, fun and rolly? ::)

Game Box for Infinity the Game (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2097161002/game-box-for-infinity-the-game)
This is designed for Infinity, The Game and the box could work for many games but the 12 pound level should be of interest to any Runners. Ir is a cyberpunk dice roller.
If you play any miniatures games than look at Infinity. It is a Sci-Fi, cyberpunk, anime mash up that uses a small number of figures in squad based skirmish games where both players act all the time (action / reaction within the same phase)
-
It's been a long while since I posted anything about dice...time to rectify that ;)
Precision Polyhedral Floating Face Dice (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/slykly/precision-polyhedral-foating-face-dice?ref=users)
(https://ksr-ugc.imgix.net/assets/012/863/200/c17337d91990a1dc7b1bab1f69b71a1a_original.jpg?w=680&fit=max&v=1466911474&auto=format&q=92&s=938c82c380cfff487efdf0d62db2f010)

-
I counter your attempt to draw me into another dice KS with these two Kickstarters!
Mega Gemstone d20 Dice (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/579878362/mega-gemstone-d20-dice-35mm-now-engraved)
The Dice Tool (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1979384538/the-dice-tool-the-first-titanium-dice-shaped-multi) - not technically a die, but close enough!
-
Bastard!! ;D
Actually had seen both of these, but not really to my tastes. ;)
-
Perhaps - something a little different (http://kck.st/29oC2dc)then. ;)
-
Nice ;D I have to admit, that this one completely baffles me...just don't get the appeal of it at all. But, then, that's one of the beauties of KS... ;)
-
Oh, agreed on this one! But it is interesting to say the least -- it would be kind of neat to send up your own dice, just to say they've been in 'space' - though I'd rather they go up on something like something from SpaceX or even better my own personal sub-orbital! Sorry got sucked into the SR realm again...it happens. ;D
-
It is time for another Dice Kickstarter (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/norsefoundry/wondrous-dice-precision-6061-aluminum-multi-colore)! ;D
-
Nice one. Don't understand why their d6 have rounder edges...all the other polyhedrals are nice and angled.
I don't mind the aesthetic on this KS (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/slykly/precision-polyhedral-foating-face-dice?ref=profile_starred)...maybe the floating face design balances it out.
-
Nice - those look very cool too!
I actually like some of the steampunk themed dice they have on their store of the KS I posted as well.
And as a complete aside, I recently started getting some FATE dice - as if I need another type of dice to get. ::)
-
There you did it again - I had to pick up some Precision Polyhedral Floating Face Dice (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/slykly/precision-polyhedral-foating-face-dice)! ;)
-
And another one (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/674003445/13-and-15-sided-dice-d13-and-d15-w-dcc-and-other-s) if you are into non-standard dice. I'm picking some up...well, cuz I think I have a problem... ;D
-
Well now, those are certainly interesting ;D

-
Just might back this one:
GRAVITY DICE ALUMINUM POLYHEDRAL DICE AND BULLET CASE (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/manicgamer/the-357-bullet-case-by-gravity-dice)
(https://ksr-ugc.imgix.net/assets/013/563/970/c704979263607d5ba4fa8a89196e4029_original.png?w=680&fit=max&v=1472701861&auto=format&lossless=true&s=8672004210490729cdf5c921979028e2)
-
Ah, missed that one! Did you pick up a bullet case or six? ;D
AKO Poly Dice (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1429341405/ako-poly-dice) has another campaign up as well.
-
AKO (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1429341405/ako-poly-dice?ref=user_menu) has hit i out of the park again. Another great design, vivid colors and clear, easy pledge levels.
-
Yeah, it looks really nice, doesn't it?
-
Been a while, but a number of interesting dice kickstarters currently underway:
XLP Dice v2.0 (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/pookin/xlp-dice-v20?ref=discovery)
Zucati Dice: Retro Classic Pure Exotic Metal Dice (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/zucati/zucati-dice-retro-classic-pure-aluminum-dice?ref=discovery)
Ninja dice : throwing the dice like Shuriken & Furo dice bag (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1722491706/ninja-dice-throwing-the-dice-like-shurikenthrowing?ref=discovery)
Gemstone Dice: Labradorite, Tiger's Eye, Fossil, and More! (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/579878362/gemstone-dice-labradorite-tigers-eye-fossil-and-mo?ref=discovery)
Enjoy! ;D

Gemstone Dice: Labradorite, Tiger's Eye, Fossil, and More! (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/579878362/gemstone-dice-labradorite-tigers-eye-fossil-and-mo?ref=discovery)
Enjoy! ;D
Wonder if they'd be willing to carve a custom set of malachite or Apache tear dice?
-
Given enough time and money, you never know ;)
They do have a number of gemstone options lists on their website (http://shop.metallicdicegames.com/)...maybe they have something that already hits your sweet spot?
-
Well, just in time for Christmas, some interesting campaign up on KS:
Super Dice Set #1 (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/901436411/super-dice-set-1?ref=discovery) - interesting style, but first campaign :-\
(https://ksr-ugc.imgix.net/assets/014/887/950/2c97c7b2812ec2f1f000fb2d2722f4da_original.jpg?w=680&fit=max&v=1481757595&auto=format&q=92&s=024bdb565e762aa542542fbb157877ae)
Old World - Leather Gaming Mats for RPG Metal Dice Rolling (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/thecopperkingdom/old-world-leather-gaming-mats-for-rpg-metal-dice-r?ref=discovery) - I really like the copper D6 options
(https://ksr-ugc.imgix.net/assets/014/624/552/9ccbad551efbd7ae75034ffd934d4e9c_original.JPG?w=680&fit=max&v=1479829202&auto=format&q=92&s=162237f4ab0e42e8ee718158edc4d802)
Constellation Dice - Voyager Anniversary Edition (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/giolasar/constellation-dice-voyager-anniversary-edition?ref=discovery) - not really my style, but cool nonetheless ;)
(https://ksr-ugc.imgix.net/assets/014/308/977/7ba30070a00b99aa19ba13acbbfe1c8d_original.jpg?w=1024&h=576&fit=fill&bg=000000&v=1481221878&auto=format&q=92&s=3efb7a7e1e07494fe25023fcc10ad083)
-
Another nice one:
SP6 Dice - Pecision & Elegance (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1489222970/sp6-dice-precision-and-elegance)
(https://ksr-ugc.imgix.net/assets/014/971/980/7ae875244c1a28a893d9d80936f09e68_original.jpg?w=680&fit=max&v=1482511752&auto=format&q=92&s=d4fe64bb399b18064196c184139af39c)
-
This looks very cool:
Hollow Dice (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/464038965/hollow-dice?ref=profile_starred)
(https://ksr-ugc.imgix.net/assets/015/462/070/b35246319d5af108942f6e91ee2d2354_original.jpg?w=680&fit=max&v=1486739312&auto=format&q=92&s=69b4272691948ef3d50084f8fa21b711)
-
Those are interesting - I'll have to check them out - as if I need more dice! ::)
John Wrot has another one up for his halfsies dice (http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/johnwrot/halfsies-dice-world-tour) - fairly standard as dice goes, but there are going to be quite a few color options. And voting. :D
-
I find myself rather intrigued by the hollow dice, but really struggle with their practicality (reading them) and the price...sigh ::)
-
Elder Dice (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/davidlarocca/elder-dice-lovecraftian-themed-dice-for-all-tablet) kickstarter is doing well. They have a d6 add-on, I'm just sayin'. :)
Would be some fine dice to be using in your Court of Shadows / Tarot themed games! As if I need an excuse for more dice... ;D
-
Not for the financially challenged, but these look pretty sweet:
TTi-150 Titanium Dice (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/eyepetizer/tti-150-titanium-dice?ref=profile_starred)
-
Some new campaigns:
Zucati EleMetal™ dice for tabletop and roleplaying games (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/zucati/zucati-elemetaltm-dice-for-tabletop-and-roleplayin?ref=profile_starred)
(https://ksr-ugc.imgix.net/assets/016/530/168/666fb407d4b9a874fd97970c4390b811_original.jpg?w=1024&h=576&fit=fill&bg=000000&v=1494835880&auto=format&q=92&s=468f7ff500613abfd918f3ba4aa64fa8)
Magatama dice: Aluminum dice with east Asian symbols (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1425183326/magatama-dice-aluminum-dice-with-east-asian-symbol?ref=profile_starred)
(https://ksr-ugc.imgix.net/assets/016/646/281/50d9063d68b391f595de6b058c587407_original.jpg?w=1024&h=576&fit=fill&bg=000000&v=1494951298&auto=format&q=92&s=7811e59649b7163b567ae09e59df4957)

-
Liking the looks of this one:
Dragon Forged LED Dice Vault and Polyhedrals by Gravity Dice (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/manicgamer/dragon-forged-led-dice-vault-and-polyhedrals-by-gr?ref=discovery)
(https://ksr-ugc.imgix.net/assets/017/611/133/a858a9705eddfed2b2d0fe11e8bf5a2c_original.jpg?w=680&fit=max&v=1500736497&auto=format&q=92&s=a9f3111bf8535cf05bb2afeb63f1eff9)

Pricing is fairly reasonable and they've got a nice 6-sided option.
-
Well, it's been a while, but found this KS:
MINI Metal Polyhedral Dice Sets from Metallic Dice Games (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/579878362/mini-metal-polyhedral-dice-sets-from-metallic-dice?ref=profile_starred)
(https://ksr-ugc.imgix.net/assets/019/772/008/a30d43a0e965b284a1c34d3389fe530a_original.jpg?w=680&fit=max&v=1515121587&auto=format&q=92&s=1157e152906cf8c8913e2ea26be2eb52)
Of note, one can get (6) D6 for $30...not exactly cheap, but not too bad for metal dice. 8)
-
Another one....couldn't let this one pass, way too cool! 8)
Mini dice box (http://kck.st/2BhYlA4)
-
Nice find...I like the mini aluminum dice.
-
Yeah - I'm going to pick up at least one. ;D
While not dice per se, I ran across this KS in it's last 48 hrs:
Dicetopia (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/548651203/dicetopia)
-
Here's one that takes into account the dice need for SR:
Halfsies Bulk Dice (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/johnwrot/halfsies-bulk-dice-appease-the-fist?ref=profile_starred)
(https://ksr-ugc.imgix.net/assets/020/228/080/55887a8a8ff4bbb9bd265be3fa0defd1_original.jpg?w=680&fit=max&v=1518564359&auto=format&q=92&s=ecd27ee7a4d20e014a4e7f6773094a99)
-
Here’s another one:
Elder Dice: Unspeakable Tomes - Cthulhu Mythos Themed Dice (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/infiniteblack/elder-dice-unspeakable-tomes-cthulhu-mythos-themed?ref=profile_starred)
They have a nice 6-sided add-on set.
-
Nice - I jumped in on that too...
Couple others:
Dice pens (http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/quempire/the-dice-pen-with-standard-dice-and-ccg-dice)
Dice storage (http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/732737466/dice-masters-dice-vault)
Nero Dice (http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2116472001/nero-dice-the-unique-harmonious-aluminum-dice)
Course, none of these have had a successful campaign previously - so take them with a grain of salt, but there ya are...
-
Nice ones cantrip...love the dice pens and those Nero dice look pretty nice.
-
This KS just fired up:
More Upstart: Futuristic d6 dice from Legendary Pants (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/legendarypants/more-upstart-futuristic-d6-dice-from-legendary-pan)
In particular, I like the SR-themed color coding:
(https://ksr-ugc.imgix.net/assets/023/427/062/47a077518e9ab69f968e2dc8e06af0a8_original.jpg?ixlib=rb-1.1.0&w=680&fit=max&v=1543541391&auto=format&gif-q=50&q=92&s=12ade7ff841993e7e6e9e931c00378cf)
And the pricing seems pretty reasonable as well...$30 for 54 dice ;D
-
Oooooooh... Noted down for a reminder. Sets of 9 works real nice, it's how I normally split my dice for easy counting. (E.g. at the open events, people get 3x9 dice.) Shame I'm not a retailer! XD
-
I actually backed them pretty quickly...a little out of character, but quite like what they’re doing.
-
I love those. I'm in for three sets.
-
While focused more on D&D/Pathfinder, I love this concept:
Randice: Dungeons And Dragons Character Generator Dice Set (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/eternalverse/randice-dungeons-and-dragons-character-generator-d)
(https://ksr-ugc.imgix.net/assets/023/240/471/da0ab50e471a2bcf562db4e2a2d3e774_original.png?ixlib=rb-1.1.0&w=680&fit=max&v=1542074649&auto=format&gif-q=50&lossless=true&s=94c3f7fc5571be3eb1be0a28ec2199ed)
Wondering how much work to convert to SR...heck, one could even use other polyhedrals if needed.
-
For this following this campaign, nearing its end. One stretch goal they’ve unlocked is perfect for SR:
(https://ksr-ugc.imgix.net/assets/023/573/392/1f81cf93b1d06b2bf2b067c5803f293f_original.jpg?ixlib=rb-1.1.0&w=680&fit=max&v=1544993040&auto=format&gif-q=50&q=92&s=63b15ce896df25c36b67a9e6a34e9001)
I’m quite looking forward to this one.
This KS just fired up:
More Upstart: Futuristic d6 dice from Legendary Pants (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/legendarypants/more-upstart-futuristic-d6-dice-from-legendary-pan)
In particular, I like the SR-themed color coding:

And the pricing seems pretty reasonable as well...$30 for 54 dice ;D

I’m quite looking forward to this one.
Decided to back the $30 option for 6 sets, since Chummer and Adept both seem useful.
While focused more on D&D/Pathfinder, I love this concept:
Randice: Dungeons And Dragons Character Generator Dice Set (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/eternalverse/randice-dungeons-and-dragons-character-generator-d)

Wondering how much work to convert to SR...heck, one could even use other polyhedrals if needed.
Decided to pass on this one, the typing errors give me a bad feel, compounded by the use of 'transexuals' and DE/IN instead of DEX/INT.
-
Ran across an Advent Calendar dice KS (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1398817948/polyhedral-dice-advent-ure-calendar-1). Cool idea - this one is sold out unless some spots open up, but definitely something to watch for next year. :)
-
If you have some money this one is big!
Dispel Dice (http://kck.st/2qr7dAc)
-
I decided not to get them, since there'd still be at least 25% in extra costs on top of shipping, so easily pushing a $48 set towards $70. But to be frank, I don't like the fact they have a Kickstarter-exclusive for day-1 backers. I understand early-day discounts, but a freebie that's only available for those that backed on day one, is something I rather dislike.
-
Okay - a different style of dice - probably more for the hoarder...errrr...collector. ;)
Dragon and Celtic Laser Dice (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/castleconquest/dragon-font-and-celtic-laser-dice)
-
This is one of the more interesting electronic dice Kickstarters I've seen:
GoDice | Incredibly Smart Connected Dice For Any Game! (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1928372437/godice-your-favorite-dice-games-reimagined?ref=profile_saved_projects_live)
-
Don't break your wallet!
Wyrmood Dice - Gemstone, Glass and Wood (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/wyrmwood/dice-by-wyrmwood)
-
Beautiful looking dice, but don’t know if I can get into the “high variance” number layout.
-
Yeah - I'm not sure the variance would work the best in SR.
That tungsten d20 is insane though....waaaaaaayyyy outta my price range!
The wooden dice are what caught my eye. 8)
-
With the waves already being booked so far ahead, I think I'll just save up for Spiel next year and buy a gemstone set there. I do love the Purpleheart boxes.
-
Dice Macabre (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/q-workshop/dice-macabre) Q-Workshop Kickstarter if anyone is interested....
-
hi everyone!
Have a look at this kickstarter dices:
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/darkenergystudio/handmade-dragon-scale-dices-for-rpg-games?ref=discovery&term=Dice
8)
-
I heard people here like dice?
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/infiniteblack/elder-dice-shards-of-illumination
-
Nice! Both look good - I've backed Infinite Black before; this round is sparkly! I will have to consider....
Oh.....and the obligatory "why do you tempt me!?!" for showing more dices to spend monieses on! ;)
-
So, I missed this Kickstarter but you can still pro-order. I saw a quick video of the Luminescent Skies set (rough version: the numbers weren't painted and the die wasn't sanded/polished) and they look amazing! Half of each die looks like the night sky full of stars, and the other half like a clear night sky with hints of stars. Unfortunately it seems the pre-order option for late backers is no longer running. :-\
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/flamingflamingo/wild-earth-dice (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/flamingflamingo/wild-earth-dice)
-
Very cool! 8)
-
A few KS out there that are currently live -- though many of them are first time creators - so ymmv.
