The Fantasy Trip D12/D3 Preorder (and more dice!) Now Open at BackerKit

We've opened preorders for new dice designs. This is a test using a BackerKit preorder system, and we have limited the test to the United States for now.

Very cool.

What do you use the d12's for in TFT? or d3?

and how many do I need?

Decks of Destiny has a table that uses d3s. Expect more uses in the future.

As to how many: That's completely your call!

I was wondering the same thing, but I may forget because they're both relatively easy to do with d6s. (But then, I'm so old I started playing D&D without dice, so I had to make charts to synthesize all five with d6s until I could get some. So my memory may well be faulty.)

The answer to that question is always "More". You need more.

Can we add these to a Decks of Destiny pre-order?

No. That project on BackerKit is closed. These are separate campaigns.

Ah, I asked on KS about where in TFT to use D12s and D3s. Thanks for the info. D3s make sense to add to the game, as they have the same statistical distribution as D6s. But the result plot of 1D12 is very different from 2D6, as I'm sure you know. Will be interested to see how they get used.

Is there a way to pre-order Hexagram #3 from this system?

No. Hexagram #3 is scheduled to go to Kickstarter. We will have more info soonish.

Please make the d12/d3 dice an add-on for a future Kickstarter (like the Hexagram).

The $6+ shipping cost for two dice is a bit hard to justify at the moment.
