Braille Polyhedral Dice - March 2018 version

thingiverse

Hey Everyone!!! I'm super excited to share that the new braille dice redesign is almost finished! Based on awesome feedback from visually impaired friends and fantastic design suggestions from fellow dice lovers, this will be an incredible improvement. For the record: I've done my best to ensure these are perfectly balanced, but they should be balanced enough that if a visually impaired player shows up with a set of these, you don't have to be a jerk DM. I've worked hard to create something needed. Once the dice are finalized, we're working with a super cool dice company that might make them for roughly the price of regular dice! In the meantime, I'd like to start the Dice Sponsor program if there's interest. Each feature braille numbering. The four-sided and six-sided dice have the number sign plus the number (associated braille letter). The rest of the dice now have a shared, ridged edge that makes them less busy while providing proper orientation to the bottom of the braille cell. To make the dice reasonably sized, the numbers 11 - 20 are made from the letters K - T. The twelve-sided die is a unique design with the number 1 and number 12 (letter M) encased in a ridged edge. This provides a bottom orientation edge for each of the other faces and sets the 1 and 12 apart. Details on all dice: D20: This is our latest revision (Rev.3) of the DOTS RPG Project's twenty-sided die. This new die features one textured edge on each face that serves as the bottom orientation point of the braille cell. The numbers 1 through 10 are represented by the letters A through J respectively, with J normally denoting the number zero but serving as the number 10 on our dice. The numbers 11 through 20 are represented by the letters K through T respectively. Size: mm: 32.30 x / 37.84 y / 33.92 z - In: 1.27 x / 1.49 y / 1.34 z D12: This is our latest revision (Rev.3) of the DOTS RPG Project's twelve-sided die. This new die features one textured edge on each face that serves as the bottom orientation point of the braille cell. The numbers 1 through 8 are represented by the letters A through H respectively. Size: mm: 23.56 x / 32.78 y / 23.56 z - In: .93 x / 1.29 y / .93 z D6: This is our latest revision (Rev.3) of the DOTS RPG Project's curved, six-sided die. The D6 comes in two different options, rounded corners and pointed corners. The rounded corners die has much softer edges for better rolling. Each face has the number symbol plus the numbers 1 through 6 (letter A through F respectively). Size (rounded corners): mm: 23 x / 23 y / 23 z – In: .91 x / .91 y / .91 z Size (pointed corners): mm: 21 x / 21 y / 21 z – In: .83 x / .83 y / .83 z D4: This is our latest revision (Rev.3) of the DOTS RPG Project's four-sided die. Our new four-sided die is really cool! The shape of the die is basically a rectangle with conical ends, so when rolled will only land on 1 of 4 faces. Each die face has the braille number symbol followed by the appropriate numbers (The numbers are created from the letters A - D respectively). Size: mm: 15 x / 15 y / 35.2 z - In: .59 x / .59 y / 1.38 z Fate/Fudge: This is a tactile, braille six-sided FATE / FUDGE die. There are two "plus" symbols on opposite sides, two "minus" symbols on opposite sides, and the remaining two sides are blank. All symbols are tactile to make reading easy for visually impaired gamers. Dimensions: Cm:1.6 x / 1.6 y / 1.6 z In:0.63 x / 0.63 y / 0.63 z
