Custom dice

[El Hombre]

All,

I'm playing with the idea of having dice made for our league (the infamous League of Rodents). I was on the lookout for good (not-to-expensive) manufacturers, when I realised many of you had done the same search before me... so: where did you guys order yours? Compagnies you can recommend?

(maybe important: I'm in Belgium... so USA-compagnies will have to be exceptionally cheap to make the cut )

[ulvardar]

You have 2 non-expensive options:

- Akaro Dice, from Spain, post would be cheaper.

- Cheesex, USA, wider range

Have a look and good luck!

I had my last set of dice done by Dice Heaven (I'm in the UK). They dont appear to have a website anymore and just use stalkerbook, which I cant check at work to see if they are the sme people.

Unfortunately Dice Heaven are no longer in business. For all custom dice please contact Dice & Games http://dice.co.uk

This answers that.

I've used Chessex and I'm generally satisfied. The selection is fantastic, Joe worked patiently with me, making prototypes until everything looked perfect.

Larger orders cost less per die. 200-499 dice, which we've used for a medium-sized league, cost 50 cents each.

Shipping to Europe is non-trivial (I save money by shipping within the US) but per die it's not a big deal. The website would have been okay quality for 1997, but it gets the job done. One potential issue is that not all dice are available for custom work. Best to mail Chessex directly.

Yep, that would do it.

I can say a BIG +1 chessex. I'M working with them for some custom dice at the mo, and the service is top notch.

For smaller amounts of custom dice, I recommend the Dice & co mentioned above. They both print and laser engrave dice, and unlike many other companies, their minimum order amount is just 25 dice.

Here's some dice our league ordered, they turned out really great.

Chessex done me proud, 2 weeks from me first sending an email in the US then arriving in the post here in the UK

Love my new dice, thanks Joseph at Chessex

[Blammaham]

Another vote for Chessex, they were great to work with, providing proofs and the dice turned out great IMO! S.

[Darkson]

Another +1 for chessex, only downside I had was although I went through Chessex UK the dice came from the US and I got stung on a custom charge (had about 300 dice).

Keep meaning to contact the Dice & Co link above.

Yep we used Dice.co.uk for our HDWSBBL 10th season dice and they worked out brilliantly.

we're proceeding with Dice&games LtD in UK, and all going well so far

Hiho,

i need advice where i can order custom block dice for a reasonable price. An informations and expieriences are welcome.

thanks

[the solitaire]

Depends a bit on the amount of block dice you want to order. I contacted Q-Workshop a while ago and they could make

50 dice for $3,50/die
100 dice for $2,28/die
1000 dice for $0,99/die

They were very cooperative in working out the files needed to make the dice and since I own a few of their standard range dice I can only say they are very high quality

I did not go along having the custom dice made at the time because the files I had already created were a bit too detailed and making new ones was a time investment I could not realise at the time.
