Hi Dakotah, I for one would think this is a good idea. Not sure how many blind people would invest in this venture, but it would be nice. the only braille dice I know of are the typical six sided kind you can get at any rehab center or independent living aids site. There have been many times I needed a 10, 12, or 20 sided die and they simply didn't exist for a blind user. So assuming the dice aren't extremely expensive I'd be interested in buying some.
Cheers!
