    Love how the indentations in the top part of the case don’t at all match the dice on the bottom side of the case. Not the right positions. Not the right shapes. There aren’t even the same number of them! Seven dice in the bottom, but only six indentations in the top!

    Would this not make the dice much harder to have a balanced weight?

    There is no way the internal battery is symmetrical in every direction.

      As someone who is extremely unlucky with dice and bought balanced ones for a ton of money, if someone told me I had to use these, I would just leave.

      (The balanced dice actually works for me)

      For Pixels, at least, a great deal of effort went in to making them perfectly balanced.

      It’s not a bug, it’s a feature!

      For $49.99 extra, they’ll include an extra little inertial motor inside each die that connects to your app and makes sure it lands on the number you want.

      It’s the price you pay if you’re the kind of idiot who has to get the super techy luxury version of something that works amazingly well and functions perfectly fine at $1.

      Literally one of the cheapest parts of tabletop games, and 100% functional at less than a buck or two. It’ll last your entire life too, if you’re careful. If you make a fancy electronic version you can charge whatever the fuck you want because the person already decided they’ll pay more than 100x what they need to for luxury they don’t need.

      Wow. Saw the price and thought, “That’s not bad, really.” Then I realized that was for one die, not the whole set.

        Actually comparable for a lot of specialty dice. Which do tend to be a lot.

          The difference is that you don’t have to replace your specialty dice after 2 years or so, because the battery died.

      They are pretty expensive, but considering each die has to have Bluetooth capabilities and a way to detect the result so it can transmit it, I’m surprised they’re not more expensive.

        So like… Do they light up?

        Or is it Bluetooth connection to your phone so a proprietary app can harvest data “track rolls to improve user experience” while just giving you an easy way to reference previous rolls?

        I’m actually curious, I can’t imagine why dice would need to charge unless they’re light up.

        And now I want a pair of light up dice that are brass and have some kind of draconic theme with bones and scales to make the number indicators…

            How sad is it that my first thought was data harvesting bluetooth app… Everything is enshitfified.

            A light up metal set sounds cool.
