Hello! I’m here with a little dice manufacturing update. If you’ve been following along for the last few years then you’ll know that I’ve been struggling with finding a manufacturer that can make the Think Twice Dice with fewer imperfections.
Continue reading Oh look a dice update.
Hooray! The Think Twice Dice are officially back in stock and on sale at 50% discount up until May 15th – so there is plenty of time to snatch some up.
This is our first ever sale!
I’m not sure if/when we’ll have future sales yet – we’ll see how this one goes first.
We have new dice with some slight changes now:
✎ The opposite faces now equal 7
✎ The dice and pips are slightly larger
✎ The pips are now cone-shaped inside
✎ The colour is slightly warmer
Overall we’re happy with these changes although there are still some paint issues within the pips which we’re working out with the manufacturer. If this can’t be resolved long-term, it might not be worth sticking with this manufacturer after all since it takes hours and hours to fix imperfections in the paint by hand.
I thought I’d write a bit about some of the obstacles and challenges in trying to get these dice made overseas.
When considering getting dice made, you’d think, what could really go that wrong? It turns out there’s quite a lot! In this photo is our Think Twice Dice manufacturer journey. :’)

Our Think Twice Dice are our bestseller, so we’re always looking for ways to improve them. We’ve seen many comments about making sure that opposing faces should add up to 7 (they currently don’t), and we’ve also noticed many D&D players buying many packs of them at a time. So in the future we want to update the opposing faces of the dice, as well as offer a promotional price for a set of 6 dice.
While taking these changes into consideration, and having gone through many quality problems with my current dice manufacturer, we’re officially on the hunt for a new dice manufacturer, but it’s a long process and with every new sample arise new issues. But we won’t give up!
If you know a quality dice manufacturer you can recommend to produce our unique dice, we’re interested to hear from you.
