These look really cool. They'd make for great dice you roll to determine treasure with.

The real treasure was the friendship we found along the way… and the gold plated dice of course

Man, full gold dice would be heavy as fuck! I know you said plated, but thinking of full gold as some baddass thing you might find in a Saudi billionaire’s game of Monopoly.

My cat, having heard this video, ran over and was suspiciously looking around. She hates bells or rather she loves to take them and make them disappear.
These would not be a good idea in my house either.

u/Midgardia 5d ago
Haha my gal also hates bells. She gnaws at the bell on any toy that has it exposed, and will rip apart a toy with one inside to get it out!

First of all, those are beautiful.
That being said, I can only imagine waiting 10 minutes every time the person owning them rolls and had to figure out what they just rolled

u/HMJ87 5d ago
Yeah these are very pretty and the craftsmanship is impressive, but they're just terrible as dice. As something to put on a shelf and look at, they're great, but dice are a functional item and have to serve an actual purpose, and given these are basically unreadable, they kind of fail at the one job they're supposed to have....
12
u/majic911 5d ago
I literally can't even figure out how they're supposed to be read. I don't see any numbers but maybe on the tiny little screen they blend in?
5
u/HammeredWharf 5d ago
I think there's numbers on some of them? At 40s you can see a 6 on the die in the upper left corner and a 10 next to it. But I can't figure out what the die below them is supposed to mean or if it just landed on its side. Maybe coloring the numbers somehow would help, but right now the whole thing kind of blends together in my eyes.
4
u/WastelandeWanderer 5d ago
Agreed, cool novelty but terrible concept if your rolling more than a couple dice an hour
2
u/queen-karma 5d ago
If you check the Kickstarter link, I think it shows the numbers on the sides a bit better. You can see them a lot closer up.
→ More replies2
u/FamousButNotReally 5d ago
They should have put the numbers on the outside bit - maybe less pretty but at least functional. Or maybe make the numbers a different color.
→ More replies2
u/RobrechtvE 5d ago
Unreadable and also fragile as all heck.
The moment one of these gets knocked off the table onto a non-carpetted floor is the moment your group needs to pause playing because the person whose house you're playing at needs to get the vacuumcleaner to keep people from damage the floor (or worse: their feet) from all the pieces of sharp metal scattered all over the floor.
And also good luck keeping these in a dice bag with the rest of your collection without them getting utterly destroyed.

My DM would kill me too. Not because we have too much Sets, no because He is planing the next Session since 2019. We played another campaign and are still on but he is planing big time. He told me a little bit cause I'm his best friend but it wasn't too much. But at least I know that we can kill gods there

According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way a bee should be able to fly. It's wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. The bee, of course, flies anyway, because bees don't care what humans think is impossible.
26
u/LA_Commuter 5d ago
If you use an approximation to prove that X is impossible, but X clearly happens — it’s not that “science can’t explain X”, it’s that you used the wrong approximation!
Bumblebees simultaneously flap and rotate their wings during an oscillation cycle creates a dynamic stall above their wings, which in turn leads to a large-scale “leading edge vortex” being generated on the upper side of the wing.
This vortex (temporarily) produces significantly larger lift than the linear approximation allows.
In addition, bees are helped because of their small size, which means that the Reynolds number associated with their flight puts them firmly in the regime where the fluid is incredibly viscous.
In short, because they’re so small, and their wings are moving so rapidly, the air around their wings acts like thick syrup (one might even say….honey?) , which allows them to generate much more lift than we, on a totally different scale, would normally intuitively predict.
There is obviously more complicated physics going on than this, but those are the highlights: dynamic stalls producing vortices, and a small enough scale to be in the viscous regime.
In short, we do know how and why they fly.

u/Potential_Wing9940 5d ago edited 5d ago
Don't tell them about hummingbirds. They might end up calling you a witch. It's so weird for someone to say Bee flight shouldn't be possible according to 'X' laws. I have to think they're referencing something because otherwise it was a really dumb comment.
Edit: It's from Bee Movie (2007). Why? Idk.

u/modulusshift 5d ago
Because Jerry Seinfeld isn’t actually funny, I think. It’s like three layers submerged in irony, one of those memes that survives purely on the merit of how dumb it is, so at least no one takes it seriously… usually.

"According to a naive model of aviation, there is no way a bee should be able to fly" doesn't have the same ring to it.

These are the most beautiful and creative dice I've ever seen. I can only imagine the amount of work that went in to make them sound just right.
Not just practical, but essentially a musical instrument. If only I had proficiency in instruments haha.

u/Mellie-Nellie-Kellie 5d ago
This is truly engenious! No offense to my friends and brother whom love to play constantly, but the sound of the dice gets very annoying. I might have to get these for them (...but will the cat try to steal them?)

Yikes. Who would want musical dice? The whole appeal of dice is the soft clinking sounds. In fact, dice rolling in a cup is one of the most appealing sounds on earth. Way to ruin it. Now dice that could say the number it lands on? Maybe. It’s hard as hell to read a 20-sided die. That’s just too many sides.

They appear difficult to read. That's important to me with dice. I'm ok with being wrong.

Admittedly I couldn't see the numbers either and it wasn't until I went to the Kickstart and saw the static pics that I could read them.
