Default Ogre dice

I am bummed that there are not going to be enough Glow in the Dark dice to cover all the ones I ordered. I understand, soon SJG will be issuing refunds for the missing dice.

My goal with the dice is I would eventually like to have as many Glow in the Dark Dice as I do Red and Blue dice. I hope that when the Ogre Miniatures Set 2 Kickstarter launches there will be an add-on for more Glow in the Dark Dice so I can order again and get some from a second run.

I believe the molds are the same for the dice, but what matters is the color of plastic injected into the mold. I would also like to see an add on option for Forrest Green dice on the Ogre Set 2 Miniatures Kickstarter. How sweet would it be to have four sets of colored dice to match the four colored sets of Ogre colored miniatures!

I think the green in the Green/Black set is probably close enough to cover that need. I'll have to compare colors once the minis show up.

I completely forgot about the Black and Green dice! I already have a pile of those.

We have no plans to offer dice in Set 2. The project will be all about the minis.

I can see some horse-trading occurring ... one die for a GEV say?

New OGRE Dice Designs:

https://www.flickr.com/photos/128248...57685954428302

If you gather and have enough of these designs approved, (I only have three ideas), you could use them as stretch goals in a KICKSTARTER set up exclusively for them. Each new stretch goal unlocks a new OGRE Dice Design.

Maybe something to consider doing someday if enough preliminary interest is discovered. You could do some sort of suuurvey to see what faction dice are of interest. Since the dice are not really helping to move OGRE sales, this may be a great way to introduce some new product while mitigating the risk to something that is manageable, and profitable.

You could also reintroduce those Radioactive Glow-In-The-Dark ones. Would be another opportunity to get them.

I’d be happy to trade you some dice, I think I got about a dozen in my order.

Given the announced shortage of Glow in the Dark dice, and that people who ordered extras will not be getting all of them, but a refund instead, do you know how many you are actually getting?

It was stated that the "one free dice per box/bag of minis" was still good to go -- it was the extra dice as add-ons that were short. Thus if I ordered 13 sets (which I did) I am getting 13 dice most likely. I'd like six NAC and six PE, but the actual mix will remain to be seen.
