There is even a poll for people to say wich themed dice they would like to see.

And you really should consider blogging about your work or at least create a website where you post all your latest prototypes, products etc.

For all who want direct updates on new dice (or materials arrival, for this time only) you can follow " Dicecreator " Where I'll post any updates related to the shop, from "fabricating" status, to new dice avaliable.

@warlord:

2) The dice are standard 16mm wide black dice with rounded edges. (here you have good pics of them: http://www.dicecollector.com/MINT21_UNCONVENTIONA…

1) The die is plastic, and the numbers/symbols/whatever is brass.

It's definitely possible to make them and they should be around 4,5€ per die. If you do find a truetype font with the symbols (+ & – ) that you like , also there will NOT be any setup fees (no extra work for me).

I have three questions:
1) What the black part of the ankh dice with brass numbers is made of?
2) What are their dimensions?
3) This is how real fudge dice looks like:

Pretty simple huh? Would it be possible to make them like those ankh dice, with the plus and minus signs made out of brass? Just for knowing, how expensive that would be?

Well…I have been making tests today…On the size I make the other dice (15x25mm), I can only fit a D15. and with fit, I really mean it. The die has a tendency to keep rolling if the table is not horizontal.

Altough the die will stop normally thrown on any other surface like vinyl or tablecloth. Also, when stops, is highly readable.

If any of you want more pics, send me a message through ebay.

sorry. These would be my suggestions, for single roller Fudge dice:

For d13:

-4, -3, -2, -1, -1, 0, 0, 0, +1, +1, +2, +3, +4

For d15:

-4, -3, -2, -2, -1, -1, 0, 0, 0, +1, +1, +2, +2, +3, +4

or

-4, -3, -2, -1, -1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, +1, +1, +2, +3, +4

For d17:

-4, -3, -2, -2, -1, -1, -1, 0, 0, 0, +1, +1, +1, +2, +2, +3, +4

For d19:

-4, -3, -2, -2, -1, -1, -1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, +1, +1, +1, +2, +2, +3, +4

"I would probably do sides as follows:

-4, -3, -2, -1, -1, 0, 0, 0, +1, +1, +2, +3, +4"

Those are for a D13, not a D15. so it seems that is D13 or D19?

I would probably do sides as follows:

-4, -3, -2, -1, -1, 0, 0, 0, +1, +1, +2, +3, +4

That doesn't give perfect probabilities that match 4dF (+4 or -4 each has a 1/81 chance, +3 or -3 each has a 4/81 chance, etc.), but it at least emphasizes the high likelihood of getting a 0, and that the next most likely results are +1 and -1. I probably wouldn't list the sides in that order though: I'd want to mix them up so you can't try to control your result by "how fast/hard/far you roll it". :-}

The closest to ideal you could get, without having an 81 sided die, would be a d19 with sides as follows:

-4, -3, -2, -2, -1, -1, -1, 0, 0, 0, +1, +1, +1, +2, +2, +3, +4

I'm not sure exactly what I'd put on a d17 (either removing both a +/- 1, OR removing both a +/- 2).

Let's take the D15, what would be it's numeric distribution from -7, 0, +7?

d3/dF: +1, 0, -1 (roll 4, -4 to +4)

d5: +2, +1, 0, -1, -2 (roll 4 for -8 to +8; roll 2 for a less interesting version of -4 to +4)

d9: +2, +1, +1, 0, 0, 0, -1, -1, -2 (roll 2; not as nice as 4dF, but you only need to roll 2, and it's better than rolling 2 of the above d5's)

Or, you can use the d5's for a variation of the old "dueling d6's" version of FUDGE dice. You just need to somehow have them be different colors, where one color is "negative", the other color is "positive" (or one die labeled with +1 to +5, and the other die labeled as -1 to -5). Roll both at the same time. If they're equal in absolute value, then the result is 0. Otherwise, discard the die that has the higher absolute value (so, if you rolled +4 and -3, you discard the +4, leaving you with a result of -3; if you rolled +1 and -2, you discard the -2 (higher ABSOLUTE value), leaving you with a result of +1). That gives you a range of results from -4 to +4, with a semi-bell shape (I think it's actual a pyramid shape, but it's "close").

To get a true 4dF on one die, you'd need 81 sides, with a distribution of results that match the probabilities of 4dF … I doubt that'll happen. But it might be possible to get approximations using a d15, d17, or d19. But he doesn't make those

Did you already order some? If you are planning to, I'd like to join in. These would be an excellent addition to my collection.

@swordgleam: It's a present I made for a friend. A die with all the Mana symbols of "Magic the Gathering" (it sits on top of a terry pratchett's book, ^^ )

What is the tree/fire/sun die for?
