The Project
We’ve all had those moments of ecstasy when we get the dice result we wanted, against the odds or uphill, and of course those moments too when it all turns to faecal matter. One thing that will make you smile though is my idea for this project – CASUALTY DICE! This in a nutshell is quite a simple concept, if you are rolling for injury then, whatever the outcome, it’s fun because you get to potentially ruin someone’s day (if you are into that sort of thing) or at the very least remove players from the game.
The project comprises of two dice, one 6-sided laser engraved 16mm Opaque White Die and the other an 8-sided Translucent Red Die. You will in all likelihood be familiar with this mechanic for your favourite Fantasy Football Game. My dice design for this project shows clearly what the result is. No fumbling about getting the two numbers mixed up etc. In an instant you see what’s happened because the sides of the dice are specifically designed this way, and should you require more information detailing the seriousness of the injury, you will be able to reference the handy high quality reference card included with each set of dice backed.

How to Order Advanced D8's with League Deals
To do this you need to use the ‘BACK IT’ button that sits above the Perks and below the Campaign Progress Bar on the campaign webpage. When you click ‘Back It’ it will ask for a ‘Donation Amount’. Here you need to add a figure that covers your requirement. So for example, if you require two Advanced D8’s, you would enter £7 x the number of D8’s you require, in this case, 2. Perhaps five backers would like to upgrade out of ten of your Medium League Deal, that would be £7 x 5 = £35 Donation.
Once you’ve made that Donation take a look at your ORIGINAL LEAGUE DEAL ORDER DETAILS. Take a note of your ‘Order ID’ (a two or three digit number). Once you have that number you can then use the Contact Button to send me a message. Here you will be able tell me your order number, how many Advanced D8’s you require and the colours required. It’s VERY important that those details are given to me so I can complete your order and ship to you on time at no extra cost to you.
If you have any problems during the process of upgrading please do not hesitate to contact me via this website, Facebook, Twitter or Email on charlievictorproducts@gmail.com - I’m here to help.

Double Sided Reference Card

The dice icons are designed specifically with a medical theme in mind, with the exclusive use of the red and white colours. I've always felt that Dice should communicate to you and your opponent the result with immediacy, and a good, simple and clean design does just that and that's what I have produced for this project.
I will end this project introduction by simply saying that using a set of dice for one specific purpose is great fun. I love to roll these dice and actively look forward to getting to use them against my opponent, and I'm sure you will too! These dice have my love of Fantasy Football, my creativity and my energy poured into them, and I hope you can be part of the journey to bring them to the community for all to enjoy.
Stretch Goals
It's my pleasure to introduce the Stretch Goals to you all. When the Campaign hits each Stretch Goal Target I will produce a card for every set of dice backed. So each person who gets a set of dice will also get a card for each stretch goal unlocked. Now is the time to talk to friends in the community to help push and unlock these goals for all to enjoy.

Allow Me To Introduce Myself
My name is Duncan, I’m a 37-year-old self-employed designer with 20+ years of industry experience, living in Leicester, UK. I’m also the founder and current Commissioner of the Leicester Blood Bowl League (LBBL). Ask anyone who knows me from the LBBL and they will tell you one thing (actually might be more than one) - I’m fanatical about DICE! It’s not just that I like to collect dice, but I also love to CREATE dice!
As a designer and dice fanatic I have a good feel for what dice should look like and how they should perform. My first dice project was to produce my very own Block Dice; I wanted to pour my creativity into something other then my day-to-day job's requirements. I produced around 100 sets Block Dice and have successfully shared these with Blood Bowl leagues and fellow fanatics around the world. I just love to produce design, no matter how small or large the idea. I get a real kick out seeing people using products I have created, and this is where I hope you, the community can come in and help my vision for these Casualty Dice become a reality. Here is a selection of my previous creative work, some of which you may recognise.

Your Contribution and What You Will Receive
This project does not aim to break any technological bounds nor does it pretend to be anything other then an opportunity for me to bring my design ideas to life, and for you in the community to have fun with them. It’s in my nature to share and I very much want to share this with you.
I’m deliberately using laser engraving because despite it being more expensive, it’s by far the best quality finish and has an increased longevity over any other type of production process.
Individual backers, will receive 1 x Set of Injury Dice: this includes 1 x engraved D6 and 1 x D8. You will also receive a handy double-sided quick reference card to help you communicate in detail to your distraught opponent how bad their day just got.
The Advanced Individual Set includes 1 x Set of Injury Dice: this includes 1 x engraved D6 and 1 x Advanced D8 in a choice of three colours. This removes the need for the Reference Card, but you will still get this and a copy of all the unlocked Stretch Goals regardless.
There are now many Perk options, so please feel free to take a look and see which one fits you.
Perks
I’ve created five different Perk levels for backers. The first level is for the individual backer who just requires one set of Injury Dice. The next four sets are for backers who wish to club together within their league or gaming group to make a saving not only on the cost of each set of dice but also a saving on the shipping due to it being securely shipped out to just one location. Please go ahead and share this campaign with your gaming groups and spread the word, it might just save you some money.
Risks & Challenges
I like to think I’m a trusted member of the Fantasy Football Community and I value that trust immensely. I responsibly manage the finances and have produced many designs for the LBBL, from sets of dice for each season of the LBBL completed by a coach, to custom loot & prizes such as engraved Dog Tags, Custom Poker Chips and Custom Bribe Coins. I think the point I’m trying to make is you can trust in me to deliver this project to you, my reputation depends on it.
There is not really much in terms of challenges that haven’t already been overcome. I have the designs completed and prototyped and I’ve found a good dice producer that can produce the quantities we might need. I’ve worked with printers for all my 20+ years of design career and I’m satisfied that they can produce the high quality reference cards for this project. I’ve been designing products for many years so understand the challenges of shipping products across the world. I’m 100% confident that I’m equipped to deliver this project.
I aim to deliver this project to Backers in November 2017.
