Hello backers,
The Honest Dice Kickstarter was funded in just 8 minutes and is now over 1800% funded!
I wanted to reach out because the early bird free d20 deal is ending in just 3 hours (1PM PDT). You won't be charged until the end of the project on April 24th so you can always cancel before then if you change your mind (or after and I'll refund you).
Thank you all so much. 🙂
Happy gaming,

New Metal Dice Kickstarter Starts Soon!

Hello backers!
I am excited to announce that my fifth Kickstarter is launching in JUST A FEW WEEKS :D
Check out this page I made with all the details about these new dice
The dice are precision machined with anodize colors that match the 120-sided dice you helped me launch, plus more. They feature mathematically balanced numbering, larger than standard size, my unique Hex d4 shape, and aerospace alloys of aluminum and even titanium! The way they feel in your hand, the way they roll, and their undeniable beauty combine to make them an absolute joy to use.
I am offering something new for this Kickstarter - a VIP reservation. You can place a $1 fully refundable deposit to reserve your free 23mm aluminum d20 (in the color of your choice, $45 MSRP) when you pledge $99 or more during the Kickstarter.
Regular backers can only get the free d20 if they pledge in the first 48 hours. However, as a VIP backer you can pledge any time during the Kickstarter and still qualify for the free d20 deal!
Get your VIP reservation here
The $1 deposit helps me measure demand so I can make informed decisions. Also, it lets me ensure that my earliest supporters don't miss the best deal :D
Thank you again for your support! Please feel free to ask any questions you have.
Happy gaming,
David

New project: Fine-Tuned Dice Sets! FREE d20 early backer bonus

Hello backers! I am so excited to announce my new dice sets :D
I've been spending the last year redesigning the "standard" dice set from the ground up. I overhauled the numbering layouts, experimented with various sizes, and invented a new d4 shape. After hundreds of prototypes I am finally ready to bring these new dice sets to gaming tables around the world.
If you happen to have an extra moment to follow the project on Kickstarter it helps me out a lot with the algorithm. Also, you will get reminders from Kickstarter so you don't miss the FREE d20 for early backers. If not that's totally cool too, no pressure!
Thank you and happy gaming,
David
Everything's Shipped!

By now everyone should have an email with tracking information for your shipment. If you don't, please send me a message or email me at [email protected] and I will help you get everything finalized so I can ship your reward.
I was able to ship over 99% of the rewards by the end of April, as promised. There were 3 packages I shipped this morning since I couldn't quite get them out on Saturday before the post office closed. I upgraded the shipping speed so those backers will actually get their rewards faster than if I was able to send them on Saturday, so I think I can count this Kickstarter as fully on time!
These 120-sided dice were an ambitious undertaking; the design, manufacturing, and fulfillment each brought their own set of challenges. You can usually assume a project will take longer and cost more than expected, but that proved especially true for this one. I was barely able to hit my shipping deadline even though I had built months of contingency allowance into the schedule. However, the difficulty of this project made the result that much more satisfying. I am extremely proud of these dice and the feedback from backers who already received them has been overwhelmingly positive.
I sound like a broken record by now, but I must again express my gratitude to everyone who backed this project. When I say that these dice wouldn't be possible without you, I am not exaggerating. Larger companies can't justify the risk of this sort of product; the complexity is too high and the demand is unproven. Creators like me are happy to put in the work to overcome the challenges, but few are able to invest a large sum up front for manufacturing in the hopes they can sell enough later to break even. Backers eliminate this hurdle by confirming that an idea is something customers want and providing the initial capital to make it a reality. Thank you.
Well, I guess that's a wrap on this one! I'll be working hard to get the next project ready which should launch in late summer. If you'd like to get an email reminder about that (and also hear about occasional discounts or sales) you can enter your email at the bottom of this page.
Happy gaming,
David
