Got it! Looking forward to the hardcopy too.

P.S. I've been looking for dice with goal system odds. Any suggestions? I have blanks but my OCD has not found a solution to transfer the symbols that I liked yet.

I'm waiting for the printed copy (I like paper), but super excited to see this moving along!

Thank you all!

Color coil-binding is loaded and ready on Lulu. I want the PDF to be in the wild for a week or two in case any major gaffs come up. Then I can get them corrected before people start buying printed books.

I will also load a color hardcover.

I need to get off my butt and get some more "official" dice made. It's just really expensive even if you order large lots. And I still have to charge more than $1 a dice to make even a small profit. If I do it, it will be more for the love of my longtime stalwart players than profit, that's for sure.

I do think that Heroscape dice were a good match, as I recall.

Monsterpocalypse white dice.

Yep.  There was some 90s board game too, although which one is eluding me - Siege of the Citadel, maybe?

Monpoc's rather a lot easier to come by, though.

Scott had some custom dice made for Goalsystem Delves, but I think they were KS rewards.

Rich, I also made custom dice for SuperSystem and Super Mission Force a few years back.

I just need to commit to making them again.

Really excited about this purchase, more than I have been about any recent system. Can’t wait to get figures out and on the table.

Thanks for the dice suggestions.

I can't seem to find Monsterpocalypse or Riot Quest dice anywhere unless directly from Privateer Press. However, as I was watching a video on the World of Tanks game from Gale Force 9 lo and behold they have custom dice with the exact odds! They sell dice packs separately with faction symbols so I'll have to see which i like best.

There's this ebay listing, don't know if that's better or worse than the GF9 dice prices:

FWIW, Monpoc's not a bad game in its own right.  That stuff's from first edition when it was all prepaints, but AFAIK should also work for the current version if you decide to dabble in it.

So, when do we get a Goalsystem kiaju rule set?  :)

I tried to look up info about the custom dice for World of Tanks, but there was no discussion about this aspect that I could find. What is the probability distribution for those of us who don't currently have the rules. I assume it would be simple enough to simply use a d6 and know what each face represents?

All of my games are built to use simple D6s. No fancy dice are needed. You roll a handful of D6s, and any 4s and 5s count as 1 goal, while any 6s count as 2 goals.

I made some custom dice for my superhero games a while back, but those are not necessary, they're just a fun add on.

Hope this helps!
