7-in-1 RPG Dice | Push-Button Spin | All-Metal | Balanced and Fair | Pocket Size | By Dragonstone Gaming
For tabletop RPG players, board game enthusiasts, and collectors seeking a unique blend of elegance and functionality, the Prophecy Dice: The dice you use like a pocket watch offers a captivating new way to determine fate. Launched on Kickstarter by Dragonstone Gaming, known for their commitment to immersive storytelling tools, this innovative device reimagines dice rolling as a tactile, ritualistic experience.
Project Overview
Name and Creator: Prophecy Dice: Pocket Watch Dice Spinner by Dragonstone Gaming (a team with prior successful Kickstarter campaigns in metalwork and gaming accessories).
What It Is: A single, all-metal, gear-driven device that combines all seven standard RPG dice (D4, D6, D8, D10, D% (D100), D12, D20) into a compact, pocket watch-inspired spinner. With a press of a button, internal mechanisms spin number dials at high speed, then snap to a halt with a satisfying click, revealing a random result through side windows.
Key Features
Pocket Watch-Inspired Mechanical Design: The defining feature of Prophecy Dice is its elegant, solid metal casing reminiscent of a classic pocket watch. Instead of loose dice, you get a single, contained unit. A press of the top button engages internal gears and springs, spinning the numbered dials rapidly. Releasing the button brings the mechanism to a precise stop, revealing the outcome through dedicated windows for each die type. This mechanical magic requires no batteries or electricity.
7-in-1 RPG Dice System: Prophecy Dice ingeniously integrates all seven common RPG dice into one device. One side displays the D20, D12, and D4, while the other side shows the D10 (and D%), D8, and D6. This eliminates the need to fumble for the right die, streamlining gameplay and maintaining immersion.
Precision-Engineered for Randomness and Fairness: Dragonstone Gaming emphasizes that the precision-engineered mechanism ensures a truly random and fair result. The dials spin at over 500 revolutions per minute, and when the button is released, they snap to a halt without last-second wobbles or hesitation, delivering the intended number.
Solid Metal Construction: Crafted from durable materials, including zinc alloy for the casing, Prophecy Dice is designed for long-term stability, structural balance, and mechanical precision. It's a robust accessory built to withstand countless rolls and feel substantial in hand.
Tactile and Auditory Satisfaction: The act of pressing the button, feeling the internal gears whir, and hearing the crisp, mechanical click when the dice halt adds a satisfying sensory experience that enhances the ritual of dice rolling.
Portability & Convenience: Its compact size makes it easily pocketable or tuckable into a gear bag. It's a convenient, all-in-one solution for gamers on the go.
Optional Relic Mount & Slip Case:
Relic Mount: A zinc alloy base shaped like an altar that gives Prophecy Dice a prominent display presence on your table or shelf.
Handmade Slip Case: A refined, handcrafted leather case inspired by old pocket watch fobs. It protects the metal finish and features window cutouts, allowing you to "check your fate" without removing it from the case. This slip case can come with a clip-on pocket watch chain for classic carry.
Rewards
Prophecy Dice - Starts at $69. I wonder how many will buy this just based on that dollar figure...
Double Pack - Dual wielding may net you greater power....but some may cry foul
Family Pack - I think they are thinking of modern family sizes. You get 3 in the family pack. When I was growing up, average family was like 4 people.
The Idea
Concept: To transform the fundamental act of dice rolling in tabletop games from a simple random event into a more engaging, tactile, and aesthetically pleasing ritual, inspired by the classic elegance of a pocket watch.
Inspiration: Dragonstone Gaming, born from a deep love for immersive storytelling and shared adventures, recognized that the right tools can profoundly enhance a gaming session. They wanted to elevate the mundane act of rolling dice into something more meaningful and enjoyable. Prophecy Dice is born from their desire to combine precision mechanical engineering with a rich, vintage aesthetic, offering gamers a unique artifact that not only determines fate but also becomes a cherished part of their gaming identity, grounding players more deeply in the world of their imagination.
