DFRPG Fate Dice?

<< < (3/5) > >>

Simon Hogwood:
For what it's worth, the LEGO company recently released some board games with customizable d6s (picture courtesy of Brickshelf). These, I figure, will when they finally arrive in the US, be perfect for making Fudge dice out of - and hey, it combines LEGO and Dresden into the same activity. How cool is that?  ;D

Maybe there could be a pre-order system. Figure out the base cost of these dice, take people's money in advance with the notion that none will be made until there are a certain number pre-ordered, and then it would be a limited supply kind of thing.

BAM! Instant collectable.

Since we're looking for + + _ _ - - and really only need two symbols (one for + and one for -) maybe something arcane like a pentagram for the + and a skull for the -.

Depending upon the cost, I could see ordering a dozen or more of these. I have 2 packages of FUDGE dice with at total of 40 dice (5 colors of 4 dice each per pack) and would easily be interested in 3-4 sets of 4 dice for my players.

Just a thought.

iago:
The problem with custom dice isn't the number of symbols affected, it's the number of sides.  Fudge dice have nonstandard symbology (even blank counts) on all six sides -- if you went to try to get a custom die done like that with, say, Chessex, you'd find yourself paying several bucks *per die*.

It's also, from a small publishing house perspective, a bit of a distraction to be running down a dice order when you could be using that same chunk of time getting a book out. :)

Hi guys.

I'm new to the forums but, being a keen Dresden fan and RPGer thought I'd join. Noticed this thread and thought this links might be of interest...

I've got a bunch for Fudge and they're pretty cool.

Expensive as all get-out, though, no?

I seem to recall feeling like their dice were very, very pretty -- but felt a little light and small in the hand compared to what I'm used to with Fudge Dice.
