The Balance of the Dice!
almost 3 years ago
– Sat, Nov 20, 2021 at 12:45:36 PM
Some individuals were concerned with an inside joke that we have on our social media of "We make pretty dice not balanced dice." And how we always get asked (mostly by trolls) of if dice are balanced. The dice community has not been wholly receptive to this and so we have adjusted our statement with a more serious note for those who are genuinely concerned about balance. It was never meant to insult or demean individuals. It was something that within the dice making community, trolls have used that question to death to dissuade individuals from involving themselves in projects and undermining creators. We are sorry for those that were upset by this, it was always meant to be a continuation of our inside joke and not meant as ignoring the issue, as we would always want to make our dice as fair as possible: So our dice balance section is updated as follows:
Are the Dice Balanced?
We use 3d Modeling software to carefully measure the total material both taken away and added to each side of the polyhedral, and scale the numbers appropriately to try and keep each side as equal as possible. While no die is perfectly balanced, we are comfortable from all of our testing that the dice are as fair as we could make them with no discernable outliers.
Thank you for taking the time to read this and I hope we can all collectively move past this issue and understand it was never meant to be malicious but I realize it was taken that way and I am truly sorry!

Hello Adventurers!
We are almost at the $20,000 mark! Shortly we will be posting up some new stretch goals as well as community polls for the first community-selected color palette!
But as we all know the dice community is very small and there are not all that many makers out there.
One maker in particular: Chuck Stover had been approached by multiple dice aficionados and even some manufacturers with concerns that he or his dice were involved with this Kickstarter. I have been in contact with Mr. Stover and wanted to clear up any confusion if he was indeed a part of this project, which is not the case.
The dice in question are the Thorn Dice. Hollow dice with numerous points that feature a similar weaving pattern.
If you would like to get a set of these dice: you may acquire them here: Chuck Stover of Made by Wombat at https://www.shapeways.com/shops/madebywombat
I want to apologize for any confusion to all my fellow dice dragons that the similarities may have caused! And as well to Mr. Stover on being inundated with messages and concerns as well.
Thank you!
