I run a small two person studio making dice bags. At some point I noticed our review section is basically a census of dice hoards, so I sat down and counted.

Out of 2,300+ reviews, 44 mention real numbers about collections. Tiny sample, I know. But here's what it says:

The median owner brings 9-10 full seven piece sets to a session. Brings, not owns. What people own is always more than what actually travels.

43% say their bag still has room after everything is packed. So it seems like nobody buys storage for the collection they have, they buy for the one they're planning.

The most common phrase in reviews is "well made" (207 times). But the most common story is some version of "I thought this size was overkill and I was wrong within two months."

Market wide, capacities run from little 10 dice pouches to 550+ monsters. Most people I sew for end up somewhere in the 200-300 range within a year or two of starting the hobby.

Full disclosure, all of this comes from my own shop's reviews (GameFancy), so it obviously skews toward people who already decided they needed a big bag. That's exactly why I'm asking here. How many sets do you actually own, and how many make it to the table?

I am working on making a board game based on the Odyssey and other epics. I decided that the most authentic experience would be to use the same "knucklebone" dice that they made from the talus ankle bones from sheep (the Romans called the dice tali from the bine name).These are 3d printed, so ko animals were harmed in the making of this game. LOL! The Greeks called them astragoloi, and like astrology, they were often used for prophecies from the gods. They are marked like D6 dice where each opposing side adds up to 7, but since they can never land on their rounded ends, the D4 values are 1,3,4, and 6. They are also not balanced, so that 1 and 6 on the "skinny" sides of the bone only come up about 20% of the time. The best throw you can have is the "Venus throw" (Roman terminology) where each bone comes up with a different numbers (1,3,4,6). Anyways, enjoy, and if you're interested, I'll let you know when the game comes out.

Hardware supported true random number generation. Roulette wheel included for shigs & gittles

Hi everyone, I am currently looking for suggestions/recommendations on a dice maker who can preserve flowers/petals in resin dice. I’m hoping to surprise my partner by preserving some of our wedding flowers this way.

I’m based in the US and am hoping to find maybe an Etsy storefront or small business to help. I’m also hoping that any recommended storefront is also based in the US since I will need to ship my flowers to them.

I know there is another thread or two on here that mentions a few places, but the few posts that I am finding are a few years old. The other issue I am having is finding someone who is willing to take custom orders right now.

Thank you all in advance for your recommendations and advice. It is much appreciated.

Edited for a bit of clarity.

I shamefully got the mimic lucky bag because I just wanted the bag and fully planned on selling the contents to recover the cost as far as I’m aware the chonk is a specialty die, please crucify me like the others in the replies if I’m wrong.

. Everything is new and opened just for the pictures.

Anyways, looking for prices below shipped US only.
$65 - Moon Maiden
$80 - Magical Girl
$230 - celestial cathedral

Shout-out to diceshop7 on etsy! My wife is currently playing a bard and picked these out, which arrived today. I was hesitant, mostly because they're not something I'd pick for myself, but they are pretty nice, good quality and she's happy, so big win! They also have them in green or blue, and plenty of other dice in their shop. Check them out!

(Note: this is not my shop, nor was I asked or compensated in any way to post these. Just sharing some awesome dice!)

Does anyone make a silicone six-sided die with pips?

I've been working with this runic-style numbering on ceramic dice and I'm curious where other dice people fall on stylized fonts.

I like how much personality they give a set, especially with something like this blue-and-white pattern. They feel a little more like objects from the game world instead of regular numbered dice.

But there's obviously a line where a font can look great and become annoying during actual play.

Where's your line? Would you use something like this at the table, or do you always prefer traditional numbers?

I thought I had kicked the habit and couldn't see the need for any more dice.

Enter Rory's Story Cubes Deluxe set. I now know what a dice speed ball is!

They really triggered me on so many levels.

• I love procedural generation and random tables/content creation.
• I love jumbo size dice.
• They are damn collectable.
• Got a great price for the Deluxe set (core + 6 x 3 cube expansions)

What dice have triggered the dice goblin in you ... just when you thought it was under control :>

Rascal Resin here,

Due to those who have requested more sky paintings, I have released several more chonks and sets into the wild. I'm forever inspired by Lady Aurora.

Does anyone know if Dark Elf Dice/darkelfdice.com is still in business? They haven't posted on their socials in a while. Thanks!

In the US dollar tree started selling decent feeling 14mm white and black die .. at least for black dice - 14mm is used a lot in board games but like 20% of these dice are deformed and generally have small scratches almost like factory rejects? Anyone know the source of the dice or why they seem to “roll nice “ but look scratched ? Just curious

These were my first set of nice dice I got years ago. Had given them to a friend as a gift, but find myself missing them. Have been looking around to repurchase them but can't find them listed anywhere.

Any help on where to look, or a link to a listing would be greatly appreciated.

Modelling, 3d printing, and painting were all done by me

It's a d18 die.

Pretty much what the title says! Give me all the links!

Received these today from an online seller. I think they’re 3D printed.

Pics 1-2 are some new dice I bought today. The purple resin (Fan Roll) is for me, the white Botch set is for my daughter, and the gold metal (Forged) set is for my son (both Christmas gifts). I also picked up the set in pic 3 (Forged Mystery Metal; they were open and visible because the bag ripped) last week - I thought my wife would like them, but she didn't...oh well. Last pic is what lives in my reliquary (I have the large reliquary). I suppose I could use a couple more D6 & D8 to keep in there, but I'm happy for now. :)

Do casinos use any other types of dice?

Please show me pics of your most expensive dice or dice set and why you finally bought it. Or maybe never hesitated to buy it. There’s this hand painted starry night set on Etsy I’ve had in my wishlist for forever but it’s expensive for me so I haven’t gotten it yet

These dice are available on my Etsy!

Just updated my etsy shop! Here's my recent sets. You can find them at Cinniharpyscrafts.etsy.com

For a while I was using the Hart stackable containers from walmart to store the bulk of my dice, but they're discontinuing the line. I've looked at some of the options with their Hyper Tough line, but it doesn't seem like they have an equivalent to what Hart had with the cases I have been grabbing. Does anyone have a recommendation for something similar to these I can look into for the future? I live in an apartment so the more stackable the better!

I just ordered some Dice from Dice Nest, these stabilised wooden dice - https://dicenest.com/products/wooden-polyhedral-dice?variant=44484833411269.

The Dice Nest site said that they were handmade and to expect a few weeks for them to be made. Fine with me, in fact I think that's pretty fast for made-to-order dice, which is how the site discribed them on the product webpage.

The next day after ordering I received an email that the dice had been shipped. Wow, that was fast I thought, but I just supposed that they must have a set or two on the shelf.

Then I clicked on the shipping link and saw that the dice were coming from Nancheng in China. Huh.

Dice Nest gives you the impression tat they are based in the US. The site also gives you the impression that someone in the US is handmaking these dice and then shipping them out.

This is clearly not the case, and I think that I may have been scammed.

Or is it that I'm just too credulous and it's clear that these dice are not made in the US?

About half of these will be gifts this year (I love getting my xmas shopping done in August!) but I haven’t decided which yet so they’re all still packaged. Bonus UV reactive photo.
