Here are the highlights of the dice added in SEPTEMBER 2021 |
EVENTS OF PARTICULAR NOTE |
Was missed this year for the first time since 2005 I was able to acquire some of the Gen Con 'Branded' dice this year due to the kindness of others and ... I have a lot of the new dice released on order |
Two MILESTONES were crossed this month |
105,000 106,000 |
Like Chessex ... last month is undergoing an upgradeI was unable to finish it due to poor maintenance on my part ... it should be finished in October In the meantime ... the link above shows the work in progress |
A new Theme was added this month I was surprised that I had not added this theme sometime in the past |
Another annual visit from Chuck Pint of Once again acting as a GUINNESS WITNESS He also hand delivered my Frostwings reward |

(and other crowd funding projects) Dice received this month |

Added a lot of dice this month Of special note are the Sphericon Dual d4's ... which may become a standard in their sets (see the two DRAGONS sets below) Also of note are the two My Very First Sets |
||||
|
||||
This
is a fraction of the that were added this month ... I picked out some of my favorites including the plastic d100's ... the Pinwheel ... handmade ... and Wooden sets |
||||
Inspired
by new dice shapes added in August 2021 I was thinking about TRIAKIS TETRAHEDRONs ... the result of which are three new shapes of d4 The initial design (1) was pretty easy ... just number the points like a d4 The next two designs (2 & 3) use the same shape as the first but with inverted interior folds making them concave rather than convex Design 2 was created like the rest of my 'Straight Edge' dice (the numbers straddling the edges) as you can see ... that is mostly useless The last design (3) again followed the d4 design with the numbers on the points but on the concave faces instead of the edges This design has an interesting effect in that it can be read from directly above |

Released the new MTG (Magic the Gathering) Innistrad Midnight Hunt spindowns this month This seems to be a first for WOTC MTG as the Bundle Release glows in the dark |
||||
Thanks to GUSTAVO ... who pointed out that the collection was missing several sets of the Pokemon dice ... they have now been added |
|||
released their |
||||
I am impressed with most of the sets due to their color choices (both body and indicia) |
||||
Released 9 new sets of dice this month From Blood Bowl ... to Direchasm ... to Age of Sigmar and 40,000 |
|||||
Released their set Mage Bullets this month (16 dice) Which is also Stiff Whiskers Press' DCC Compatible Weird Frontiers Dice Dead Neds Knuckle Bones |
|||
Starting
last month I was adding the dice that were missed over the years due to me thinking them to be too generic I believe with this addition the collection is complete (for now) |
|||
These
are the 'branded' dice that I received |
|||
Released the Warhammer Age Of Sigmar Roleplay Soulbound Starter Set this month |
|||
It
took two orders (refunded) For a somewhat complete set of these lighted polyhedrals by an unknown Chinese company They are of dubious quality as not all the dice in either set would light Also ... there is no way to recharge or replace the batteries |
|||
I
think that this set of 'Betrayal' dice are the last of collection for now I suppose I should create a game theme for the three sets of this type |
