Cliffside Bunker Battle Dice (UPDATED)

@IronWill:

Thanks for making these reality YG.  You mentioned that you have a reason behind your color choices.  Do you mind me asking, out of curiosity, what that reasoning is?

My reasons would sound very superficial to many people, but I can say that they involve information recognition, and subliminal association (if any of that helps).

No, subliminal/intuitive association makes perfect sense to me.  The colors of the IWNGU dice were very intuitive to me.  The color scheme seems like a “heat (hit) index” - White (1), Yellow (2), Orange (3), Red (4).  The “hotter” the dice, the more hits it should make.

I loved what IWNGU did with their hit dice, but at the last time I checked, the yellow and orange were far too close in tone to tell apart at a quick glance, which was a shame… did they ever fix that issue?

all chessex dice have round corners, which make them spinners.  Only casino dice have sharp corners, which only spin on firm surfaces.  At least those are my observations looking over the 2 booths at gencon

@Gen.Nehring:

Nice job YG! It might be too early but can you ballpark the price for a set of these dice? Are you going to sell them yourself or kickstarter or sell them through one or more of the gaming companies?

No promises, we are still working out many details… but retail cost would be anywhere from $40 to $50 a set, each set would consist of 10 dice per colour, so 40 dice total. We are currently working out a deal with Historical Board Gaming for distribution… no plans for pre-order or crowdfunding on the 6 sided, but our future plans for our 8 sided dice will require more backing… all this however, is speculative ball parking at the moment.

$40 to $50 CAD per set? Or USD

Can you do rounded edges, reason is we got a bunch of dice floppers that are keen on getting the result they want by hardly rolling the thing, especially a kid called “call shot kid” because he can roll whatever he wants and calls it. The rounded dice will keep him honest.

PLEASE ROUNDED DICE

so on my battle board I could just put a color dot on the 1 thru 4 to match the dice?  are you (YG) going to do the bunker battle boards like that or are you going to print out special ones? just wondering cause your stuff tends to be cool and very functional to game play.

They look etched into the dice.
Won’t that throw off the balance?
The unetched sides will be slightly heavier now.
Otherwise, great idea.

By that argument, rolling a 1 on a normal die is more likely than rolling a 6.

Those look AWESOME! I am definitely in the market to by a set or two….

Quick Question: Will you also offer a 5-hit die for the Jet-Power tech in the 2nd Edition game?
