I see it as Ā£154 for a dust collector that consumes electricity.

$277 before shipping! BEFORE! For ONE die!?
Iām sorry. Floating isnāt enough for that. It has got toā¦ I dunnoā¦ do taxes and make good conversation for that much money.
OR you can save a staggering $30 and get a random die! Woo! Just think, for only $245 you too can get a die that floats that you hate the way it looks!?
Jeezus.

No no no. It is that price for the BASE and one die! The dice themselves are ājustā $50, though itās half price if you order 8. Itās practically a steal!*
*by steal, I mean they are stealing your money.

To be fair, if I was rather wealthy and money was not a concern, I would purchase a few of these. They look cool, even if as dice they are probably not all that practical due to the loose core.
And if the campaign is successful, I fully expect a line of d10s to come next, and then other dice.

So it doesnāt roll it for you, itās just a stand that you grab the dice from and roll in big moments?
For that money you could have your dice on a stand thatās a baroque throne made of, I donāt know, lab-grown ruby or something.

I wonder whether you could accidentally wipe your credit card with an unlucky rollā¦

With all of that stabilising circuitry, I feel that it should have a ārollā button to randomly spin it all about for a while, and then stop it again.
(Mind you, the one on the guyās desk was bobbing up and down non-stop throughout the campaign video, which I found bemusing ā apparently not entirely stable in practice.)

Thatās because itās sentient and controlling itās owner.

That was my first assumption when I saw it.
But apparently the magnet is loose inside the shell, and can only be levitated in one orientation ā you can turn the die to any face you like, but all the magnets do is hold it up.

That sounds like an awful design for a die.

Dark Venture is finally getting a reprint/2nd edition, so Iāve found myself all-in on a Kickstarter for the first time in well over a year.

Game-carrying bag and LED-edged playmats.
The bag might tempt me if it werenāt for postage from the US (and if I didnāt already have lots of luggage).
The mats look good if you canāt simply buy huge mousemats, which is what Iāve done ā Iām a big fan of plain-colour gaming surfaces if Iām not using a mat designed for that specific game. (I played Sentinels of the Multiverse on an Aeonās End mat and it was very busy and confusing.)
And then there are the lightstrip-edged mats, and see previous comments on āvery busy and confusingā - it wonāt even shine onto the components.

thereās some cool looking stuff on the crowdfunders at the moment.
I like the look of Fit To Print, Cube Monster and Bazaars of Ubar
