$500 away from Tier 2 Unlocks!

So close to unlocking the next batch of dice sets!


All other tier unlocks reduced!

As we approach the half way point we reevaluated the project. An awesome first day led to a week unforeseen doldrums in fundraising. While technically this is a successful Kickstarter, we love ALL these dice and want to see them made. At this rate it looks like we will miss some of the higher tier sets and that is unacceptable. So, we reduced the stretch goal funding to as low as possible.  This will give our "All In" people the best chance to unlock all the dice. While it does not offer much in the area of profits, this level of  funding helps ensure our creations come to life. Sometime creating  something you believe in is just more important.


Here is our new pathway through the rest of the project...

Here is what the projects trajectory looks like as of this morning.

Second Week - Hype Goals
over 2 years ago – Fri, Nov 05, 2021 at 10:17:40 PM

It is the nature of Kickstarter projects to start and end strong with a lull in the middle. We here at Dice Envy are very anti-Lull. We want this hype train going full speed all month. So we are announcing hype goals. Each week we will have a time-sensitive bonus goal to encourage you to boost your pledge and spread the word.


This week if we hit $35,000 by Friday, November 5th we will drop the remaining stretch goal unlock amounts by $5,000.


  • Tier 2 (Cat, Dino, Bat) would unlock at $45,000
  • Tier 3 (Elk, Mammoth, Bee) would unlock at  $75,000
  • Tier 4 (All sets get an extra d20) would unlock at $145,000
  • Tier 5 (Storybook) would unlock at $295,000

So tell your friend, post on social media, yell out your window. Get the word out. Let's gooooooooo!

Reflections on The First 48 Hours
over 2 years ago – Thu, Oct 28, 2021 at 09:58:06 PM

Thank you all so much for making this project a reality. We funded the first three sets of dice in under 6 hours. We are now only 10k away from the next unlock. We wanted tot take some time to also talk about a new tier we posted on day 2. It is for retail stores...


Retail Packages

After launch we realized, we did not have an option for our FLGS friends. We've added another tier of funding for you all.  As a retailer you can choose 40 sets of any of the unlocked dice. They will be shipped packaged ready for retail AND stores in the US will receive free shipping.  


Evidence of retail license will be collected before shipment. Not for  internet resale. Unicorn dice not available at this level. If you want  more sets, $12 pledge over base amount for ever additional set.  We will reach out afterwards to take your full order.

Funded in less than 6 hours

5 HOURS 32 MINUTES TO BE EXACT

Thank you to every one that is making this project a reality! We've funded the first three sets; Dire, Hunter, and Grizzly. 


Behind the scenes on the next three sets

Cephalopod (Octopus), Strigidae (Owl), and Bengal (Tiger)


We wanted to make sure we got a good mixture of land, water, air based dice. This tier has them all. We also took some time and did our homework. The animal offering in our collection are not just cool animals, they are some of the most practical uses of your druid's wild shape ability.

Computer rendering of Bengal

Tiger's are awesome melee beasts. But our favorite part of this set is the toe beans used to help determine the 6s from the 9s. 

Concept art for Strigidae

With only so much space on a d20, we wanted to include the moon atop the owl to communicate that nocturnal life. Night Vision? Check. Flight? Check. Stealth? You got it all in this perfect scout.

Concept art for Cephalopod

In this early work we had a different pose for the octopus. But decided the one above it read more as the underwater boy. Your go to underwater scout choice, with that sweet ink cloud, good stealth, and dark vision.


A note about fulfillment

We discovered after launch that the fulfillment timelines are wrong on the rewards page. We intend to get everything out in June 2022.
