Awesome. Getting profet is fair; you'll be putting in time and energy.

If I was able to get the program started, I would be using casting. The mold would be pretty expensive, and the material wouldn't be too bad, but it wouldn't be remarkably cheap either. I wouldn't gouge, but I'd also want to make at least a little profit, because I love you guys, but having a little extra would be nice. I wouldn't do anything insane like triple the markup or add an extra zero, but I'm glad to have an idea of what people are looking at. The cheapest I've seen new dice is about $14. I'd probably have to at least double that, maybe as much as triple it, but I'm still working out the details. If enough of you guys want dice, then I won't need to chatge as much, as I'll be able to put the cost of the mold down myself and make it back, but if not many of you want dice, then I'll have to make them more expensive, not for myself, but just to recoop the losses I'll be taking to get the thing set up. I want to make these for myself, but that's entirely unjustifiable, as the mold and printing is going to be more than $200 just to get started. If I know that I've got 10 people wanting dice, then that's going to probably be between $20 and $40 for a full set, but if I've got 50 people wanting dice, it's gonna probably be more like $15 to $35 or maybe even cheaper. The material isn't free, so I can't just be like "Oh. Well here's a full set for ten bucks," though I wish I could. I'm considering actually doing a kick starter like whoever else did, giving you guys proper updates, letting you know the ins and outs like a business ought to do. I need to check patents and copyrights and all that, though, because if someone decides that they ought to copyright troll me about the shape of my dice, I'd at least like some forewarning. If I do set up a kick starter campaign, that'll get posted to the list as well.
