Re: TFT custom dice
That's where the factory enters the process. Every die we create, their engineers rework our design and propose what they feel will work best. We then discuss, when necessary, tweaking and adjusting until both sides are happy with the design.

Re: TFT custom dice
Love the megahex dice. Really don't see it working, but if it does, put me down for a bunch.

Re: TFT custom dice
I quite like both designs, but I really only want them for the 1-spot. Dice at the end of the day have to be functional; I don't want to be struggling to figure out what I've rolled on them.

However, I don't mind an non-traditional design, so long as it still communicates the intended numbers effectively. And I think that the Megahex pattern does it well. Pips is pips. :) |

Re: TFT custom dice
Blackletter wasn't designed for a string of capitals, and (to me, at least) TFT looks clunky in blackletter caps. It is correct that we don't have an icon-style trademark right now
I agree, those double-six d12s are nice. Just my 2 cents worth, twice. |

Re: TFT custom dice
I like them both. The numbers would be usable almost anywhere -- hexes say "wargames" to me, because I'm just that old -- and I wouldn't mind having about six of each. But if I had to pick just one, I'd grab the megahex with dots for TFT. The megahex is about as strong an association as the Old English typeface in my mind.

The Megahex, though…? That's pretty much unique to TFT. |

Re: TFT custom dice
I like the megahex dice as seen in the schematic--seems pretty easy to read the faces. However the 2's and 3's blackened hexes would look better to my eye if they were on a diagonal, as per traditional d6 dice pips. Or, better yet, with the 3 would in a triangular formation.

Re: TFT custom dice
It has to be the MH dice! Unique, funky and iconically TFT. I'm sure you'll figure out how to make it look right at the scale of the dice.
