We are 1/3rd of the way through and thanks to my wonderful backers, the project is already over 270% funded!
I can't wait for the day I have all of your finished dice; shiny, new, and waiting to be sent off. I am definitely going to have to arrange them together and share an image of the epic hoard of these gigantic math rocks. Even if the Kickstarter project ended today it would be a dazzling display of well over 30,000 faces, each individually machined and laser marked with the correct number.
I am thankful to all of you for making this possible. Most of all I am honored that my dice have been invited to your gaming tables! Every TTRPG campaign is its own passion project - the game master and players together putting in hundreds or often thousands of hours to create a world and enjoy adventures within it. The most rewarding part of making my dice creations is thinking about all the stories they will get to play a small part in telling.
Thank you and happy gaming,
David

200 backers have now pledged their support in these first few days. Thank you!!
My secret goal is 1,000 backers before the project ends. The idea of sending these giant beautiful dice out to a thousand people fills me with joy and excitement. I'm even excited at the prospect of packing and shipping 1,000 boxes, as crazy as that might sound. It somehow always feels like I'm wrapping up a gift to give to a friend. That's probably because I want it to feel like opening a gift when my backers see their reward for the first time so I tend to have that in mind when I'm packing.
Over these next few weeks I'll be doing everything I can think of to work towards the thousand backer goal. A substantial part of the success of any Kickstarter project comes from the backers sharing the project. If you happen to know someone who might be interested in my dice it would be a huge help if you would share the project with them. If not, that's totally cool too.

Thank you all for your support! The project is now officially funded after only two hours!
This is an exciting and humbling experience for me. These dice have been my passion project for years. Most of the work and expense happens before I know if many people are going to be interested.
I like to create new and innovative designs, which is both more work and more risk. It is not the best business model, but I want to make something new. It feels like I am contributing something to the amazing TTRPG community in my own small way.
I am deeply grateful that people like you are willing to offer their support.
