BlairJ he/him Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 I know many of you have them, but they are obviously no longer available and I would like to obtain a set. I am of course discussing the Mistborn Dice that were once created by Crafty Games (publisher for Mistborn Adventure Game). I recently reached out to Peter to see if there was any way to obtain them, and he of course directed me to Crafty Games. They sent me the following tweet this morning: With that tweet in mind, who would be interested in creating "demand" for these dice? I am sure we could do a number of things, such as create a petition, convince them to do a preorder trial (this entails them taking preorders and once they have enough, they create the dice and send them out). I personally would like to have a set or two and I am certain that I am not the only one that did not get them in the early batch. To give you an idea of what they look like, see the picture below:
Senor Feesh Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 I already have my set, but I'll ask my RP group if they want any.
BlairJ he/him Posted March 13, 2013 Author Posted March 13, 2013 I already have my set, but I'll ask my RP group if they want any. Thanks! If anyone wants to pass this over to the Misborn RPG group they are welcome to as well. I am not yet registered there.
Kurkistan he/him Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 It would be a fair amount of work to set up, but I imagine that Crafty could probably start a Kickstarter on this, to get real commitments before they start spending money. If you're in contact with them, it might be worth it to suggest that, Blair.

If you're in contact with them, it might be worth it to suggest that, Blair. Now you are thinking how I am thinking. I sent them a tweet on this earlier today in fact. I would say great minds.... but yours is probably greater than mine. Anyways, we will see what they say.

I would say great minds.... but yours is probably greater than mine. Anyways, we will see what they say. Indeed it appears that we do think alike. If I'm "greater" in any sense, it's in that I devote too much time to this stuff. I subscribe to a "Black Company" philosophy of magic theorizing: you need both time and power to get anything done, but the proportions of each is variable. I await their answer. In future communication, be sure to emphasize that you don't have any guaranteed demand yet; also any Kickstarter would almost certainly be entirely run by Crafty. Some Sharders may contribute, but we don't have the infrastructure, capital, or drive to co-sponsor a project. Edited March 14, 2013 by Kurkistan

Windrunner he/him Posted March 14, 2013 Posted March 14, 2013 I'm no gamer, but I'd be willing to support this. They're so neat looking!
Kurkistan he/him Posted March 14, 2013 Posted March 14, 2013 (edited) Of course. Good-o! Just wanted to make sure they didn't think we were poised to throw bags of money at them. Edited March 14, 2013 by Kurkistan
BlairJ he/him Posted March 14, 2013 Author Posted March 14, 2013 Actually, good news! Heard back the following from them: Let me know if you want to help me plan.
Windrunner he/him Posted March 14, 2013 Posted March 14, 2013 So is a kickstarter specifically what you're looking at doing?
BlairJ he/him Posted March 14, 2013 Author Posted March 14, 2013 Doesn't have to be that at all. I just mentioned that we would like to bring the dice back and maybe partnering up with Crafty Games to do it. This was the response that they gave. We could do something different if you have something in mind.
Windrunner he/him Posted March 16, 2013 Posted March 16, 2013 I think it sounds fine personally, I was just checking.
BlairJ he/him Posted March 18, 2013 Author Posted March 18, 2013 Alright, this week I will put together the letter to Crafty Games. I think it would be a fun, limited edition dice set that we could get. Let me know if anyone wants to be involved.
Krelian Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 I would contribute if you're looking at a Kickstarter/pre-order model, depending on price (just nothing crazy, pretty much). Or just express interest directly to Crafty Games, if that's what they're looking for.
BlairJ he/him Posted March 26, 2013 Author Posted March 26, 2013 Just as an update, I have put together my thoughts and have sent them over to Crafty Games. Let's see what they think.
FaeMofo Posted April 6, 2013 Posted April 6, 2013 I would be up for that as SirShemmington and I are looking to run our own version of a mistborn rpg
Senor Feesh Posted May 5, 2013 Posted May 5, 2013 Ok, I kept forgetting to ask them, but just in case this does go ahead there are 2 people in my RP group who would order them if they do another run.
BlairJ he/him Posted May 7, 2013 Author Posted May 7, 2013 Thanks guys. I will pursue it later this month when I am slightly more freed up. This video game is not going to write itself. 1
Dubious Virtue Posted June 29, 2013 Posted June 29, 2013 (edited) Just signed up after searching for these dice. I'll order 6 sets if they go ahead! Edit: Should I check back on this post weekly to see how things are going? Edited June 29, 2013 by Dubious Virtue
Senor Feesh Posted June 29, 2013 Posted June 29, 2013 Probably best to subscribe to the post, and make sure you're set up for email notifications. Alternatively, stick around and join the discussions! If you're interested in the Cosmere at large, or a specific series such as mistborn, or even if you want to join the rp boards
Jaaaaaade Posted July 10, 2013 Posted July 10, 2013 16 sided dice are possible to make. They'd be useful for randomly selecting Misting or Ferring powers. There's probably somewhere you can buy them.

Youngy he/him Posted July 20, 2013 Posted July 20, 2013 I am up for this if they are willing to mail to Australia.
