Today, Hero Forge launched a new Kickstarter campaign to add custom dice to their services. The aptly named Hero Forge: Custom Dice campaign has already found great success, reaching its funding goal within an hour of going live.
The Hero Forge: Custom Dice Kickstarter Campaign
According to its Kickstarter campaign page, Hero Forge: Custom Dice lets you order customized polyhedral dice for your home games. This customization is an extension of Hero Forge's service, printing custom miniatures of various custom characters. It is a service they have provided to tabletop players since 2014, bringing endless personalized minis to gaming tables around the world.
As part of maintaining that level of personalization, Hero Forge: Custom Dice will provide users a similar level of freedom. The service can print any kind of dice: D4, D6, D10, percentile dice, D12, large or XL D20s. If you play a lot of Warhammer, you can order bricks of D6s for your wargames. If you're more of a Magic player, you can print a custom spin-down die to keep track of life totals.
