Title: I want to make custom "Ship Game" dice from Harrison's Light
Post by: Howard Alan Treesong on June 17, 2008, 03:19:49 PM

I dunno, the idea just came to me!

Unfortunately, I need 9 other people who think this is an awesome idea and are willing to go in $12 per pair ($1 per side)

So, come on. People. Okay, probably not.

Mostly, I was just surprised to find custom dice makers.

That's pretty sweet, I've no need for something like that but if I did it'd be sweet.  :-*

You just want the dice to tell it's ok to kill  :wag

I don't need the dice to know it's ok to kill!

important question: should I use the symbols as they appear on the TPB cover:

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41D8APQ8YQL._SS500_.jpg)

or invent my own symbols based on my interpretation of the text?

I may go ahead and do this on my own and just try to sell/eBay the extra sets.

I also can't remember if the two dice are the same or different - I believe they are unique. Which is sucky, cause that means a minimum order 10 pairs of dice, rather than 5 pairs of identical dice.
