A few more pictures...
about 2 years 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
about 2 years 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
about 2 years 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.

Manufacturing and Samples
about 2 years ago – Thu, Sep 15, 2022 at 12:38:56 AM

Hi Folks,

Apologies for the delay in getting you some professionally shot dice samples, but the factory where our dice are being made had to close because of a covid outbreak. Happily it has reopened and production is continuing.

We are still looking at completion at the end of the month but we have asked our manufacturing partners in the US to confirm with their factory and as soon as we have concrete completion dates we will let you know. 

In the meantime we have received these shots from the factory (please be aware the lighting is terrible) showing us the sets that are on their way to the photographer in the USA.  They are going via air and so should be in Portland late this week or early next. As soon as we have some professionally done photos we will be sure to release them here. 

We have also included a lovely short video, again, shot by the factory showing the amazing process of etching the 'pips' on the front of the dice.

Just to reiterate, these are photos taken in a factory setting and are not meant to showcase the dice. If you are thinking of changing your colour choice, please wait a week or so until we have the professionally taken photos as these will depict the final product.

Thanks Jon & Oliver

More pics... remember convention lighting is HORRIBLE
over 2 years ago – Tue, Aug 09, 2022 at 02:20:07 AM

Thank you to everyone who has come over to say hi and to check out the dice in person. Here are some more pics for those who have asked.

For those worried about the grey 'smoke' in the Black Dragon dice, this is entirely created by the shade of the gem stone in the middle. The darker the stone the more cloudy it looks. This is a natural effect created by the refraction of the light and looks amazing live and in the flesh. 

Equally Exciting News.

It was lovely to speak to the folks at Zatu Games, buyers from the UK as well as the folks at Asmodee, as it looks like the dice may be heading to wholesale later in the year.  It's early days but It was great to speak to everyone at the convention and if you can, do come and see us at booth 2840.
