Congrats on making it halfway through the week. Hope it's treating you well.
Today's little update is to tell you a little more about the official Wires in The Woods dice. If you have already played the quick start, you will know that, as well as a deck of cards, the game uses two six-sided dice (2d6 in the parlance of TTRPGs).

BUT FIRST, THESE ARE NOW AN ADD-ON THAT YOU CAN PICK UP WHEN YOU PLEDGE OR ADD TO YOUR EXISTING PLEDGE!
</Disengage shouty bold marketing mode...>
Here are the official dice (we're not fully decided on ink colours yet, so please do put in your tuppence by means of the attached poll!).
18mm framed dice with interior leaf art.
There's a few things to say about these dice, other than that they are cubes with numbers on them.
Firstly, they are a two piece set, cast in different colours primarily because Wires in The Woods uses several d66 tables in the prompts. That's to say you will need to roll 2d6 and one will act as tens and the other as units.
Firstly, they are hand-finished, framed sharp edge dice made with two separate resin casts. The first cast is a tinted smooth cube containing prismatic foil.
This first cast is then covereed with autumnal (!!!) leaf stickers.
Following that, a second cast is made around them that is clear resin with numbers etched into the surface. This is what gives the dice that "framed" appearance.
Finally, copper and steel inks are added (for now).
Here's a close up that kind of highlights that effect:
Of course, you can always use any other d6 you have to play the game. We always recommend taking the dice out of your Mo[REDACTED]ly set and throwing that game away.
As far as the ink colours go, please do chime in on the poll and let us know any other thoughts you have.
That's all for now, other than a quick thanks for how far you've all helped bring this project. Enjoy the rest of your day!
