How weird were these? Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much for this video, DiceCrazyDude! Super thoughtful and objective, as well as informative! Super cool! Thank you!
(p.s. the white paper with the puzzle dice is contact paper to help you apply the stickers all 9 of a face at once for better placement.)
You are welcome, thank you for the kind words Mr. Wrot!
Thanks for the correction on the contact paper for the Rubik's Cube Not-That-Weird-Stuff.
The art dice are cool and those silicone are neat
Agree! Hope they make more!
Yes the starry night ones are cool
That’s a lot of dice
They are easily my favorite of the bunch. Like I said, seem like something handmade you would order off Etsy. Hopefully they make more designs like this.
Huh, quite a bit of misinformation on those cards that come with the dice sets. First of all, I don't see how any of these are the "new inventions" that the campaign promised. None of these are innovative or new. Dice with inclusions have been around for years. He already did magnetic dice for the previous Kickstarter. A Rubik's cube with stickers is hardly something new, plus is that a sticker with a John Wrot family photo? Oversized silicone d20s? Udixi has been selling those for a long time. Same for regular sized silicone dice. Wine gum in dice form? Also been around for a while. Sharp-edged dice with shell insert? Yeah, been done for years all over the place among handmakers and also commercially for mass production. While the double dice as polysets are maybe a new thing, it's not like that concept is Wrot's invention either.
Secondly, Wrot says that the double-dice are better balanced and it increases randomization. Sorry, but that's total BS, especially if you consider that the d20 is actually a d42 with two faces not hollowed out. That thing is actually less balanced than a regular d20, and putting each number twice on a die doesn't make the die rolls any more or less randomized than when the number is only on a die once. So whatever he put on those cards is wrong and misleading advertising.
So how weird are these? I'd say not weird at all and overpriced, at that.
I'm glad that you got value by watching my video and finding out that these aren't for you, thus saving a bunch of money. 😀
I agree, some of these aren't brand new to the world of dice. I would note that the inclusion dice are part of the regular mystery sets, not part of the "Weirder Stuff."
There's no photo of the Wrot family for the Rubik's cube. I showed the famous artwork designs, so maybe you thought one of those (Last Supper?) was that. The other designs are: animals, solid colors, animal hide patterns (stripes, spots), and colored flames. Like I stated in the video, I don't really care for this one but I will say it makes for a strange die.
The metal, magnetic layered dice do seem to be a new thing. Haven't seen anything like those anywhere else. The wooden D6's with magnet pips also seem unique for a production dice company.
Silicone dice have been around for a bit, but are still fairly uncommon and only a handful of companies make them (I hope more start to). For the chonk D20s, he does mention on the card there are similar items out there so they tried to do what they could to differentiate. I know Kraken Dice makes a slightly smaller 50mm silicone chonk.
Like you stated, the sharp-edged dice with shell insert has been done in handmade dice before, but as far as I know, the only other company that offers this style is Dispel Dice. I wouldn't say these are weird, but they are very cool!
Thanks for watching!
