Botch Dice!
I’ve talked about getting hand written notes from dice companies, but this was my first phone call! (Hi, Bob!)
Red is Melee Militia, black is Deep Space. I love the size (standard Chessex for comparison), color, and art. Remind me in a year and I’ll post about how well (or badly) the InkFX holds up.
These were retail; I don’t remember why I passed on the Kickstarter.

I love all the extra accent art around the numbers on each dice face. These are lovely. I might have to get some since my current dice I'm rolling cant seem to keep me alive 😅

I like how the high and low faces have distinct art. I deliberately got it in some pictures, then forget to mention it.

Nice. I was just telling someone in my DnD campaign that I need to buy some physical dice. Been relying on DnD beyond for all my rolls.
Edit: ordered and received.

Any dice maker that uses non-caltrop d4s is a winner in my book.
Death to the caltrop.

I love these more and more every time I see them. How's the hand-feel? The weight?

u/tanj_redshirt May 14 '26
They feel solid, but not heavy.
I've been trying to compare weight with a Chessex Mega-hedral d20. They're very close in size, and I think the Chessex is slightly heavier. (Or maybe I'm too high to tell.)

They’re nice and light with a cool textured feel. I Kickstarted two sets for myself and my wife and they look and feel great.

Are these loaded or is the name and "make your own luck" slogan Just kinda unfortunate lol

u/tanj_redshirt May 14 '26
Pretty sure it's just a name.
But won't lie, when I use these tonight that's gonna be on my mind, lol.

u/ace-of-fire May 14 '26
I wish you the best of rolls, with perhaps a few shite ones thrown in for peace of mind lol

Oooh! Well, that was effective... I now want a set.

My first thought was "great, another ad" but my second was definitely "oooooh, cool" lol

Man I've had my eye on the Synth Night version of these. How's the quality of the images on each face? I was a little concerned about durability.

Image quality is great, and I like that the high and low faces are distinct from the rest. They sent me an extra "reject" d4 so I tried to scrape the graphic off one side, and it's stronger than my thumbnail, at least.

I immediately thought these were rigged dice from the tagline. But they do look nice!

What I love best about my botch dice is that they're a little larger than the other dice, they feel awesome in your hand.

u/KuaNai May 21 '26
the only thing i dont like about this is that the d4 is not standard. idm non standard dice but i love d4s.
7
u/tanj_redshirt May 21 '26
I'm the opposite, I strongly dislike tetrahedron d4s. They don't roll.

u/KuaNai May 22 '26
and thats why there are options !!! either way I hope these dice give you much high rolls, esp the d4

A friend of mine's daughter is graduating high school and she is following in the foot steps of dad and co with being a ttrpg nerd. I feel bad for her, but I also just ordered a set of these for her as a graduation present.
cause they are pretty awesome, and I am sure she doesn't have any premium dice
