Dice - Show 'em if ya got 'em!

No way man! They highlight that one-page-dungeon in the background... do share!

Well, I probably should have included a spoiler warning, but I just didn't think of it. That area is a spot from Semaj Khan's White Dragon Run module. Don't go snooping back over it or you might spoil something.

Oops. Avert my eyes! Avert my eyes!

Cheers Chainsaw. They are difficult to find in the colonies. If I buy them from overseas the shipping will likely exceed the item price itself.

Green for the money...

While I loves my tiny dice they can be a bit hard to read at times. I finally got around to ordering up some Gamescience dice to match my casino dice.

Very nice, Bill. I'm sure you will be putting those to good use on Oct. 23 if you and ligedog go to the "abandoned" garrison.

As for inking, I have inked and bought pre-inked. In the end, paying someone to ink them is what I have done lately - saves me time that I can use for other things (reading, designing dungeons or stocking them, etc). Plus, I'm a terrible inker anyway.

Just finished inking these:

Nice. Did you use paint, wax or a marker? I'm so bad at paint and ink.

[deathanddrek]

Fine brush and acrylic paint. Scraped away excess using a plastic card.

... and the coal black, done today.

I seem to have misplaced my primary dice bag: hopefully I didn't lose it at the close of GaryCon....

I'm innocent!

Those look good too, man. Next time I need some dice painted, I'm sending them to you (if your rates are reasonable).

One of these days, well play a f-t-f game together, and those dice are going to inadvertently end up in my pocket.

Found 'em. They were in a bag that I'd already looked in, but apparently not sufficiently thoroughly.

And that's a good thing, since I used some of my original dice to play on Saturday, and was rolling really badly---the luck must have dissipated from them over the years =)

The postage might not be reasonable...

To get the result you see there, I basically just painted the whole number, going way over the lines, let it dry, vigorously scrape over the top with a credit card then touch it up. (There's two other techniques I've worked out but this is the fastest which was a consideration.) I suppose in imitation of the "dipped in paint and tumbled" method described in the GameScience propaganda videos. It doesn't take long. It would probably make a proper painter balk, and while it's far from perfect, it's way better than the paint job that you see on Chessex for example.

They might turn out to be cursed, -1, I can't tell yet!
