Fantastic Summoner Dice Kickstarter From ClockWise Studios
March 17, 2016 by deltagamegirl22
Yes, we probably all need more dice like we need a hole in our heads, and yet...shiny syndrome dictates that we ALWAYS need more dice! ClockWise Studios has a fun little dice project on Kickstarter right now that's sure to add flavor to your fantasy genre games.
Their Six Sided Summoner: A ClockWise Dice Project features dice themed around four of your favorite fantasy creatures: The Cockatrice, The Leviathan, The Kitsune and The Spider Queen.
I know there are always two schools of thoughts on dice appearance - those who like simple, clear and easy to read dice, and those who really enjoy the theming effort put into the look and feel of dice. These likely appeal to the second category. The numbers are presented as the actual number, but surrounded by an image that ties together the overarching theme of the creature it's representing.
Whether it's birds, sea serpents, a fox or a spider, these dice are sure to bring some additional flavour to your game.
Clockwise also mentioned that backers that pledge for at least two of each design, will be included in a playtest of a yet to be revealed game they are designing to use these lovely dice.
What do you think of these fantasy creature dice?

I like the black and green dice, there is somthing a little Cthulhu-ish about them.
I thought the same thing. 🙂
The designs are very nice, most artistic dice i’ve seen.
For gameplay though, i like plain dots. I don’t want to have to concentrate on reading the dice, I like it as easy as possible.
Maybe it depends on the game. If only rolling one or two at a time, could be ok. and i like the idea of the dice theme-matching the game.
But for kings of war, with big handfuls, i definitely like my cubes simple.
