Title: (Commercial) Dice Tray - Courtyard
Post by: Things from the Basement on January 13, 2021, 09:29:29 PM
Dice Tray - Paddock

Are you tired of dice accidentally knocking over figures or terrain features? Or dice trays being an eyesore on the table?
This dice tray will easily fit into a lot of game settings without standing out! The paddock-like design will make it look like a piece of the game table.
It is made from sturdy 1.6mm HDF. Its 6" by 6" dice area offers enough room for comfortable dice rolling. Included is a laser-cut cork sheet which covers the dice area and reduces the sound of rolling dice.
Kit supplied unassembled and unpainted. Dice not included.

I see somebody else can, like me, roll six dice and have more than half come up ones, with no fives and sixes.

Interesting concept and certainly a very useful feature for a lot of settings. Regretfully, most of my settings are scifi, and a paddock in the middle of a high tech refinery might look a tad off :D

Also; I always keep my dice trays off the playing area, just like loose dice, knocking over or shifting minis and terrain left and right (which was the reason to switch to a dice tray in the first place). But I understand not everyone has the available space to do so. (but I'm probably just lucky we usually play on a 4x4 portion of my 4x6 table these days ;) )

Regardless though; I really like the idea and product!

Not sure if you're aware, but your subscription pop-up comes up every time a new page or item is loaded (at least it does on my mac with the Safari and Firefox browsers) even if it's been closed on a previous page.

Thank you, Dr DeAth!
That was not intended. It should only pop-up once during a visit. I made some changes and hope it works now.
Please contact me directly at thingsfromthebasement@gmail.com if it still happens. No need to bother the other forum visitors with this.  ;)

It's still doing it.

I'm only mentioning it here as others may be getting the same problem and could feed back which could help you fix it, I don't think many LAFers would see it as bother, they generally tend to be helpful folk.

Neat idea. Just my 2 cents but, I would have added doors (closed, of course)… just to make them blend in even more with the rest of the terrain pieces. Anyhow, these look very good! Nice work!  8) :-* 8)
