Ulfsark Games Funding Metal Polyhedral Dice On Kickstarter
October 27, 2014 by brennon
Ulfsark Games ran a rather cool Kickstarter not long ago to fund a range of metal D6 with intricate designs on them. They looked superb and so they are back to funding once again to help bring out a range of Polyhedral Dragon Scale Dice...
There are a whole range of designs to choose from including...
- Elven
- Dwarven
- Techno
- Roman
- Gearpunk
- Celtic
...so quite a lot to dive into and customise to your liking. I think everyone who does role-playing would really like to have themselves a set of nice dice that they can trust whatever the situation (dice luck is a real thing!) so this could well be quite the neat item to have at your disposal.
I am a bit in love with dice and I've picked up so many different packs of dice over the past few months for both role-playing and just general tabletop gaming.
Do you think you'll be funding this?
I anyone started rolling those near my minis I’d be having words 😉
Do we need these? Plastic dice are fine, unless you need to bean someone on the other side of the table. And when that problem arises, there are always empty bottles around.
I think the point of them is as a vanity object rather than anything you’d practically pick up for your every day gaming. If you want to just get some dice for gaming there are plenty of great ones out there with nice designs on them – but if you want something a bit more showy you can pick these up.

They are really nice but £39 for a set of dice is a lot of money when you can get plain plastic ones for £3!
Agreed with first post. Get them away from my minis.
for traditional roleplaying I can see these being great, tabletop wargaming is a different one, i cringe when people roll larger dice near my terrain never mind metal ones!
You can get cheaper and also nicer precision dice out there that are plastic. Also, if these were precision dice they would have sharper edges to add for the most random rolls. Sorry, but these wont sell a lot.
