Overview
Until now, our company focus has been to create high-quality aluminum dice that are perfectly balanced. One of the biggest requests we’ve had is for quality affordable. After a bit of research and tinkering, we’ve come up with precision-crafted PMMA dice that you will love. PMMA, also called acrylic glass, it has a high surface hardness, meaning it is scratch resistant. Easily cleaned, lightweight and fully recyclable. But that is not all, we are offering an LED Dice Vault for your new Dice set

Short Summary

Hi, my name is James Kathrein, I am the designer of Gravity Dice which are precision, custom CNC machined Metal Gaming Dice. After thousands of requests to create a set of affordable precision RPG dice, I came up with a solution. Our new Dragon Forged Dice campaign will solve the problem of unbalanced, untrue dice. 

Dragon Forged Dice will be made from a high resin acrylic glass called PMMA. Our new proprietary methods will give you dice that are true. They will have more random roles because of the system I am using. I have also designed a LED dice case that will hold your dice set and light them up for hours. The dice vault is made from the same PMMA material and custom tooled with a screw top to put your dice in. The vault has changing color options and is rechargeable. 

This campaign is important to me because you have asked for it, and because like you, I need to know that my dice will perform for me.  My vision is to design the highest quality gaming products in the industry that will last you for years.  With your support in the campaign I will be able to afford the tooling costs for the vault, LEDs and the dice. Any additional monies over the cost of the tooling will go to adding new colors and variety packs for you. 

 

What We Need & What You Get

Our goal is to raise $20,000

  • Tooling cost for Vault and dice cost over $72,000
  • Production for dice and shipping is another $60,000
  • We are currently offering 16 dice colors, Translucent, Solid and Glow-in-the-dark

The Impact

Our campaign will solve many problems with the current dice on the market. Current dice are not true, they are unbalanced and lack randomization. We have also designed a truly unique dice holder that we call the Dragon Forged Vault. It has an LED base that gives you multiple colors and is rechargeable. 

  • Our business purpose is to design the highest quality products we can, to bring these products to market and ensure that these products have the smallest carbon footprint we can make for our environment.
  • You can see my commitment to our industry and our world through my previous Gravity Dice project. I consider my self a unique designer, I have lived with Aspergers and have been through all the struggles of trying to fit in but now I realize it is time for me to stand out and give you the greatest products you and we can envision. 
  • Please join me and lets build better products together, we ask you to back our campaign and be a part of the change.

Risks & Challenges

I have 3D renders and 3D prints of all the dice and the vault. I have also designed the circuit board my self and tested its success. We have not made the product yet. My secret design plan is to create our dice so they don't shrink when they leave the mold, so they aren't weighted to one side and so they roll like no other dice on the market. The challenges are to ensure these plans work. We have just finished our first prototypes and are making adjustments to the numbers on the dice.

Other Ways You Can Help

We realize that not everyone will be able to support our campaign financially. We would like to ask you to share the campaign and help us get the word out. Indiegogo has a great share tool, please forward it along to your Dungeon Master, friends and fellow players.

The Anatomy of a Perfect Dice

Our Gravity Dice™ have been designed for precision but we have taken that a step further and seek to change the way dice roll to make them more enjoyable, more random and completely unique. Each angle, corner, and chamfer has been analyzed, configured and reconfigured so that our dice change your experience.

Why We Use PMMA

PMMA, also called acrylic glass, has a high surface hardness, meaning it is very scratch resistant. It is also easily machined, easily cleaned, and lightweight. PMMA is also fully recyclable (although we know you’d never throw your awesome dice away!).

With a precision of less than 100 microns and engineered to enhance your random roll mechanics, these PMMA dice are simply amazing.

 Our Polyhedral Dice Set

We are offering a full set of polyhedral dice which includes 7 Dice: D20, D12, D10, D10%, D8, D6, and a D4. Each of our dice will have the numbers formed into the dice and will then be color-filled to help maintain the perfect balance.

Polyhedral sizes are as follows: 
The D20 measures 20 mm from face to face (FF) and 21.98 mm at its peak. The D12 is slightly smaller at 18 mm FF, the D10 and D10% measure 18 mm Point to Point (PP), the D8 is also 18 mm PP, the D6 is 16 mm FF and the D4 is 16 mm PP.

 Our first available colors: Translucent Red, Translucent Smoke, Translucent Blue, Translucent Teal, and Translucent Purple. As we reach our stretch goals we will unlock new colors and options, such as:

LED Dragon Forged Dice Vault:

The Light-Up Dragon Case will be in a solid color with translucent dice to match and will come with white LEDs and replaceable batteries.

Vault Specifications:Inner plastic tube casing: Height: 6.25," Diameter: 1.25"

The vault can hold up to 9 dice, depending on the size and shape of the dice. It comfortably fits our set of 7 polyhedral dice or 9 D6s.

We took our famous Aluminum Gravity Dice and made them in PMMA just like the Polyhedral Sets. Each dice has a perfect center of gravity as well as mathematically calculated to create more random rolls. Each dice has the pip numbers at different depths and inked in either silver or gold dots.  

COLOR OPTIONS:
