Hey Folks,

We hope everyone is well and looking forward to the holidays.

This is just a quick update to share with you the dice on their final stretch as they are prepared for shipping.

As soon as the manufacturing is complete, we will be in touch with our shipping agent and get them booked in for their journey to the US (and UK if feasible). Once we know these dates we will let you all know.

In the meantime, if you are looking for any ideas for Christmas gifts please do take a look at Spidermind Games website, as we have several giveaways including our new Wyrm Dice sets.

Whatever you need for the holiday season, we should have you covered. The Dragon Eye Dice arriving just after will make for a great cheer to the otherwise dreary beginning of the new year.

Thanks as always,

Jon & Oliver

Journeys End or Journeys Beginning?
over 1 year ago – Thu, Nov 03, 2022 at 12:44:41 AM

Having spoken at length with our manufacturing partner yesterday, we are pleased to be able to bring you final dates for the manufacturing completion of the Chromatic Dragon Eye Dice series.

Manufacturing of the Sharp Edged (Regal) dice will be completed at the end of this week and for the Round Edged (Legendary) dice they will be finished and should be ready to ship by the end of the month.

We have not yet fixed dates for the shipping of the finished pallets to our fulfilment centres. As soon as we have dates for these, as well as ETA’s we will post them up here.

Despite working hard to try to get the dice fulfilled before Christmas, the quality assurance team we had in situ at the factory were not happy with the rounds as they began their production run and so we have had this delay. Whilst we regret any delay in the project, we have placed the QA team at the factory to ensure the very best quality in the final product.

Since the end of the project 14 months ago we have been on a much more colourful journey than the one we expected, resulting in a brand-new manufacturing process for these very unique dice. Whilst we are at the final stage of this campaign, the journey with this new process has only just begun.

Soon after the completion of the fulfilment of this project, we will be releasing the first in our limited edition Dice Collectors Club range. This free to join club will offer regular releases of limited-edition dice collections starting with ‘Angels and Demons’.

Further to this we have already completed the design stage of the Metallic Dragon Collection which will feature electroplated metallic beads corresponding to the five great metallic dragons. There will even be a platinum plated bead in each dice celebrating the God of Metallic Dragons, Bahamut.

However, without your continued support, developing this new manufacturing process and creating these new releases would not have been possible. So, whilst we are close to fulfilment on this project, we are far from the end of this amazing journey, thanks to each and everyone of you.

A few more pictures...
over 1 year ago – Fri, Oct 14, 2022 at 06:23:12 PM

As promised, here a few more pictures of the dice. We think the unboxing videos show the dice & packaging very clearly, so these are to showcase the eggs and give you a few close ups.

*Remember you will all receive a free Goddess D20 and it will arrive inside the egg. The bag is large enough to hold the egg to keep the dice together.

We are waiting on final confirmation on when the whole production run will be completed and then we will let you know the shipment details. We are still on track for them to be finished in the next week or so and we are chatting to our shipment expert regarding the fastest way to get all the dice into the US and UK, so that we can begin fulfillment

Video of all six full sets of Dragon Eye Dice - from Scotland
over 1 year ago – Wed, Oct 05, 2022 at 06:24:05 AM

Hello again,

As promised a video showing all six full sets of 9 RPG Dragon Eye Dice with the egg and bag 

The reason these two latest updates were split into 2 is because we sent the add-on sets to the US for filming and evaluation, and the full sets to the UK as they need to be taken to Essen Spiel which is happening this week. We will be showing them to European retailers and distributors to hopefully peak their interest so that after we have fulfilled your orders, we can hopefully see Spidermind Games products becoming more accessible to our fellow Europeans.

Jon lives at the top of Scotland and although parcels can arrive there obviously, his filming and photography equipment isn’t as good as Josh’s. However, we think this shows all the 6 colours in a fair way, although the lighting is a little bright. We are very happy with them and can’t wait to have them in the warehouse and get them shipped out to you all.

To reiterate, the sharp edged are hand polished and not machine tumbled like the smooth edged. This is why they cost more. The round edged are taking longer because we sold a lot more of them and so the sheer numbers are larger, which equals more time needed.

More updates on container schedule to follow, still aiming for end of October!

Dragon Eye Dice box opening video
over 1 year ago – Fri, Sep 30, 2022 at 03:40:51 AM

Hi folks, 

After showing the dice in person to those who came to see us at GenCon, we are proud to release the long awaited video (and soon to follow photos) of the dice from the production run that is currently taking place.  Here is an unpacking video to demonstrate how the dice look to the naked eye. The video was made by Josh at CRWN Studios, our partners in Oregon and these are his initial thoughts.

*If you are thinking of changing colours, hold fire as in the next update we will show photos of the full sets, with the eggs and bags. We’ve listened to the feedback regarding the black and we have added a small hint of black ink into the resin, which will darken the overall affect.

As you may have spotted, it’s mostly the sharp edged dice in the video. The smooth edged dice take longer as they go through a tumbling process and we are expecting their production to be done by mid October. So, as soon as all the dice are manufactured, they will be boxed and loaded onto pallets. We are discussing shipment dates with our freight forwarders and as soon as we have fixed dates we will let you know. 

We ourselves, are VERY happy with the quality and uniqueness of the dice and are satisfied that not one single step of the process was rushed. Given the feedback that we received from GenCon we are sure you will love these too. 

Dice Collector’s Club

As some of you might be aware, we are in the process of creating the Dice Collector’s Club. This is a free to join club that invites you to sign up for an email alerting you when a new set of limited edition dice become available for purchase. Now that we have developed this new dice making technology, we plan on coming up with ideas to keep Dead Centre technology alive and thriving. The idea is to release at least 4 limited edition sets over 12 months and being a member of the Club rewards you with a preview of any new release, a few days before they go to market and grants you a discount should you wish to purchase any of these limited editions sets. They will be available for immediate shipping and will not be on pre-order. 

Our first limited edition sets are Angels & Demons. We commissioned the factory to make these alongside the Dragon Eye Dice and they will be delivered at the same time to our US warehouse. Once fulfillment of the Dragon Eye Dice commences we will make these available to members of the Dice Collector’s Club. Do remember we are only manufacturing a small number of these limited edition dice and so be sure to sign up to find out more. Please register here to be the first to hear about our new limited editions by email.

Thank you once again for all your patience and we look forward to you receiving these wonderful creations.
