Custom Dices from Chessex

#1 Post by Loriel »

Hey! First of all I just submit suggestion and I will not personally organize this due lack of time, but if someone would be interested to organize this out then by all means ;)

I decided to join for group order for dices in Khemri forum http://z4.invisionfree.com/Khemri/index ... opic=15630 and http://z4.invisionfree.com/Khemri/index ... opic=15631

It got me thinking if ulthuan would be interested to have some custom made with phoenix symbol as 1 or something else

I would love this, although bear in mind customers dice are pretty expensive, if you buy in bulk you're usually looking at £1 per dice.

If I understood correctly 500+ dices would be about 0,42 cent per dice. not too bad imo ;)

I ran a purchase for a bunch of people here on Ulthuan back in late 2012. It wasn't terribly difficult once we got the image we wanted. It also wasn't that much if I recall correctly.

I've also done this. Chessex is easy to work with and deliver on time.

it depends a bit on the price of course. But I would definitely be interested in some of those red ones Teledor posted above. I didn't grab any last time round, but they look lovely.

I've always ordered dice from Cheesex and have a bunch of certain armies that I own.

Let me hit you guys up again once I get home with some pictures.

Keep in mind that the extremely cold weather on the east coast right now is causing some of their dice to crack.
Case in point:

Don't worry though, they're going to send me replacements and hand-check them before it leaves to make sure everything is OK.

Joe, the guy who handles my orders (and has been since 2006), is very good and will take care of you np.

This seems promising. Would there be any organizer to do this? As I said I only submitted the idea as it was done in Khemri forum and though it might be useful for other ppl too ;)

Nice idea.

Isn't it normally custom to put the image n the 6? It can get very confusing to have some dice that are images for 6's and other s for 1's. I am sure I have heard podcasts complaining about that before.

Usually it's just on the 6. Also putting a second image on the dice increases the cost per dice significantly, if I recall correctly.

I would only look into getting the symbol on the "6".

If you can come up with some sort of sunken island image that'll work I might change my mind and get some.

So I don't want any of these dice and am not volunteering but I thought it worth mentioning to all of you saying 'I'm in' that there is currently no one actually organizing this. Someone needs to step up for this to actually go anywhere...

I would be keen on purchasing dice, but would prefer some nice purple ones. Failing that, I suppose blue will do :)

Also, if you want any help with doing stuff, organising, writing letters, making victoria sponges etc etc Im your woman.

Just random curiosity and testing waters.
Does everyone like the previous order design or are there any new ideas in mind?
Secondly, anyone here want to put those idea on paper and post something up?

If something comes up, I may be able to take on the task of ordering and distributing.
I have an order of 250 dice coming in from them with my gaming club, I personally didn't order them, but the process sounds pretty simple.

Lastly, not exactly sure how much it'll cost to ship out afterwards to everyone, but if logos and ideas come up, I'll be happy to look into packaging and shipping prices from where I live.

I like the previous design and would be interested in making an order with those designs. I also was thinking about having some High magic dice made up using the high magic symbol for the number 6, I do have the design ready for this as well.
